Updated Beauty Coupon/Character Appearance System
Hello! So when I was doing the 2019 Mabinogi Player Survey, I came up with a good update for how the Beauty Coupon/Appearance menu that both the players and Nexon would agree with.
Instead of the hair/eye/etc. storage coupon in the Cash Shop, I was thinking of a system kind of like this; when accessing the Appearance Change Menu in the Dressing room or Rebirth Menu, there could be a separate area with slots. Each slot would be a space to save our characters appearance (eyes, hair, face, etc.). It would also tell us what gender we'd need to be to change to a certain appearance.
We'd get two tabs by default (was thinking one for each gender, but I guess someone could save the same gender appearances for both) and we can buy more with Pon or NX.
I guess the biggest thing I could compare this system to is the system in MapleStory where we can save hair and face styles and change back using Meso, as well as buying more slots with NX.
It would, if anything, bring more money for Nexon and we'd also get to save appearances we like. Win-win situation, no?
Tell me what you all think!
Thanks for reading!

I'd still prefer it if using a beauty coupon just straight-up unlocked that beauty option for you forever, but this is also a good thing to have.
I'd like this alternative much more, but I was thinking (hoping) my idea would be considered more because it leaves us with a much better alternative to storage coupons and Nexon would make plenty of $$$
Even if it's not enough to satisfy them, then they could pull the usual 'Cash Shop limited time' strategy (which I also wouldn't like but oh well :c)
Or maybe bump up the price of the tabs too. I'd rather pay extra for this where I can change appearances whenever I pleased compared to 6$ for a one time coupon
I know I'd definitely purchase a few tabs if I had the NX/Pon on me.
I really like this.
Yup, especially with all the complaining about the beauty coupon system. :c
bump for more to see this idea!Hopefully they can also be customize-able with Beauty Shop Pon choices, or the Free option to be a Doppleganger of our character.
is this bump illegal?Ooh I'd love the mannequin idea, since it would double as a decor! :O Decorating would get so much better!
Add a Pon price to every option.
Add an elevated price to permanently unlock options
Coupons auto unlock permanent options
Currently prices change depending on what your changing:
Face, Eye, Mouth and Hair Types cost 5 (10 Faces, 163 eyes, 96 mouths, 126 hairs)
Hair and Eye color costs 3 (40 hair color 41 eye colors)
Skin Tone is free
Taking into account current pon prices: 1 Pon = $0.10 after converting from $ to NX to Pon even at a no increase in pon price to permanently unlock will potentially pull in up to $222 just to unlock all the currently available options for a female elf. Even higher should they drop the racial exclusive appearance options as well. At what might be an agreeable x3 times increase in Pon price that could go as high as $650.40 per person, and depending on if they limit it from account or from character could reach ridiculous amounts for such minimal work
But instead, they will most likely keep the way things have been. With people rarely if ever changing their appearances, besides specific events of course.
Note: These prices are a long term price mark, not meant to be a lump sum. For example, new gacha is launched every 2 weeks, and if you were to buy 10 gacha each time it changed you'd have a price mark of $780 by the end of a full years time
