GW2 Scheme of B2P
http://www.arena.net/blog/mike-obrien-on-microtransactions-in-guild-wars-2
but we think we can provide additional content and services that you’d be happy to pay for
Content Restriction ?
We think players should have the opportunity to spend money on items that provide visual distinction and offer more ways to express themselves. They should also be able to spend money on account services and on time-saving convenience items.
EXP Pot? Resurection Scroll ? Drop Rate Pot ?
And gems are the currency that’s bought and used to purchase microtransactions.
the same sistem like PLEX or Chronoscroll but the different is no Game Time in GW2, so only cash player who gonna benefit from this item.
Nicely done ArenaNet,
new P2W scheme for your dumb fanboi

sad but it looking and sounding that way
Oh dear.
Someone is making up their own misery. not to mention none of those 'boosts' would actually negatively affect you in any way if someone else used them. This isn't WoW. Plus, drop rate potion? really?
Plus, you do know that you can buy gems with gold, right?
nice account, welcome to mmorpg.com
Paying cash for gems, which can purchase in game gold.... How is this anything but Pay 2 Win?
I've said all along that this "B2P" business model was a load of crap, and I was right.
Everyone screaming P2W seems to forget that karma exists.
eq, wow, doac all had paid content in the form of expansions. If you ever paid for a game expansion then your point about restricted content is contrary to what you do.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
why not? they said time-saving items
the problem with PLEX sistem in GW2 is, there is no benefit for non cash player
and the game constantly overflown by GEMS, different from EVE or Tera which you can change that curency to game time
so who gonna manage the inflation of that money currency?

If there is an overflow of gems, the price in gold for them will go down. Simple economics, supply and demand.
i still hate it, same system like in Runes of Magic. in the end cash player will control ingame economy
askldjaskldjaklj
That depends on how much gems cost and how rich the person buying gems is. Even if the economy governed by gold is messed up, the economy governed by Karma and other means, isn't.
This is not a game.
