In all seriousness, I think Defiance players would like to see a more "what you see is what you get" things for sale in the bit store, and some variety.
If there was the kind of fash for sale like there was/is in Perfect World International, would you buy it?
(yes i know, terrible game but they REAP profits like you would not believe, especially on the f2p private servers and this game was built on one of the very first ever Korean MMO game engine platforms and to this day is STILL making tons of profit)

In Planetside 2, you can buy custom armor, camo skins, Hubcaps, decals, and paintjobs/camo for your vehicles, player submitted helmets that make both SOE and the player that submitted lots of $... would any of you buy things like this? (This game is full of bugs and problems too, but as with Defiance, still retains a huge player base and unlike Defiance, profits BIG time!)

Player Submitted Helmets Video
There is a lot more, like custom add ons for vehicles but this video should illustrate the point
In Rift, you can buy weapon skins, fashion etc, as well as RNG lockboxes:
Rift Weapon Skins
These skins let your weapon look like the skin, regardless of what the weapon is. Would any of you buy this kind of thing if it were for sale in the cash shop, not random, but "what you see is what you get"?
I am hoping to see positive replies and responses in this threat, ones that will motivate not only Trion, but also it's employees to plead the case for a bitstore that follows a more successful model, as opposed to constantly making it tougher for people to want to give Defiance their money for a random chance of a bunch of items they end up selling at a total loss, only resulting in more players wanting to leave this amazingly fun game and a loss in revenue for Defiance.
Personally, I would throw money at the game, just as I did with other games, cause some of this stuff is awesome eye candy and does enhance the fun factor of the game without making any of it alter the fairness of the game.
Opinions? Would you all buy stuff like this?
Edit: IMO, revenue from sales of items like this can and would pay for new dev's and the ability to fix a lot of the problems Defiance is experiencing
