• It makes things less chaotic and much simpler for newer or less talented users looking for quality items.
  
• It could give artists like Excel or Glome who aren't on the mod team something more to work towards: getting some of their art into the official Store.
  
• It gives us a non-stressful duty as moderators to do. Always good
  

• Copying may increase, through copying store items and uploading them as user content. Not too worried about this in general because the same thing could happen with the current system.
  
• It may not seem to fit with the current setup. Jacob_ has done a very nice job making the system very simple and easy to use by everyone. An official store might make it a bit less so.
  
• Not all of the mod team are neccessarily good artists, nor are all their work neccessarily as good as their best or even average. Case in point, Ashely and myself. No offense or anything, but pretty much all of your skins have been made by other users for you Ash, and if you look towards my earlier skins... I honestly can't remember why I didn't delete Hooded Creeper, for example. Of course, this issue could be eliminated by what I mentioned above with "elevated items" by normal members.

I also like the idea of having staff only making items although we don't have many artist staff members. If we were to do that we could hire Excel, he's a great artist.
