What?! Ive said it twice and Heartless has also mentioned it, not to mention Aerowyn stating it various times. That is where the "are you trying to ignore..." comes from.
That's not true at all. Take a look at AO's, AoC's, WAR's LoTRO and DDO's cash shops. Those games still do charge a subscription fee, even if they have a F2P option.
WoW's cash shop has a pet which can be sold on the AH and traded with players. That's sanctioned RMT right there.
Edit: as far as TSW goes, the only way to customize your character in TSW is with clothing, since talismans only add stats but don't change the way your character looks. It's a pretty well known fact that TSW's cash shop has much cooler looking outfits than the in-game clothing shop. So yea, the cash shop is cosmetic but if you want your character to actually look cool, be prepared to drop $10 for a jacket.
Damn OP too slow. Do a search at the MMORPG Guild Wars 2 forum, this CS has been discuss to death.
Another WOW troll.

From Mike O Brien co founder of ANet. And that is why GW2 rocks
Ohh look its this thread again. I take it the 745 other threads debunking P2W isnt enough so we need one more?
Everything you need to know about Elder Scrolls Online
Playing: GW2
Waiting on: TESO
Next Flop: Planetside 2
Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
I just pissed myself from laughter.You're either incapable of reading or incredable dense..Thats the only way I can logically see why you'd assume anyone is a 'WoW troll" considering i haven't played WoW since very early cata, and I unsubbed TSW too - Not because the game, because I can't manage to play it with time contrants.
Playing
Nothing
waiting for
The secret world
Played
WoW, DCU online, star wars: the old republic, city of heroes, city of villains, everquest, plenty more I'm probably forgetting or aren't worth noting.
you only today noticed gw2 has a cashshop? :O
but no worries, the cosmetic items are .. cosmetic and all the the boosts also can be found in pvp chests, mystic chests and some achievs.. (mystic chests use mystic keys.. those are also for sale but also are quite easiliy given away by dailly/weekly/monthly achievs)
So no biggy in my opinion.. after not missing a single bwe or stress test

But....but...I was hoping for something that was more intellectually challenging....
Oh wait, I forgot, beating the dead horse is their only fallback now. Keep them coming!

can the opening post please explain if i spend £100 pounds in the cash shop how will i win
and one more point
if i spent £10 last month in the cash shop i would have acctualy got somthing for my money
what did you get for your subscription for the last six months?
Diffrence between TSW and GW2 = TSW wont make the end of 2013 while GW2 will still be growing.
Funcom will make sure of that rofl
A summary to all the GW2 'hate' threads:
Uninformed cash shop rambles, for people who can't think beyond the mental conditioning they've been lnflicted with.
GW2 has no raids, for people who can't think beyond the mental conditioning they've been inflicted with.
GW2 has no trinity, for people who can't think beyond the mental conditioning they've been inflcted with.
GW2 has no sub, for people who can't think beyond the mental conditioning they've been lnflicted with.
I'm starting to see a pattern here...
TSW is one of the highest retention rates ive seen in any MMO of recent date. So no i don't think it will die out any time soon.
The response of Funcom = bad is dumb, very dumb. if anything you can say Funcom Launches bad, and thats about it. but fine a attack deserves a rebuttle.
dont worry once people realize the lack of content GW2 has with repeated Dynamic events over and over they will leave and it wont last to 2013.
and before people claim im just another hater, read my previous posts in the GW2 discussion area. ive said many times that i want GW2 to be successful. but my sig speak for itselt.
Because i can.
I'm Hopeful For Every Game, Until the Fan Boys Attack My Games. Then the Knives Come Out.
Logic every gamers worst enemy.
BLAH BLAH BLAH - nothing new here - not P2W - you should really get out more.
Everything you get in the cash shop can be had in the game so it is not P2W.
Then why do you start a thread here about a 5 month old article that's outdated?
TSW is a good game, I bought it few days ago and am playing it, but compared to GW2 it's the biggest scam in history of MMOs - you pay for the box, you pay monthly sub and when you're setting up an account, you are presented with an option to buy one of 3 "starter packeges", two of which cost more than a game itself (one is a lifetime sub), in a way that suggests it is neccesary to buy at least one. Also, those packeges contain weapons and gear for your character to use from the beggining of the game.
I didn't buy any of this, as I knew it is not neccesary and a waste of money, but it's obvious that many people who don't follow the game before buying it, will choose to buy at least the basic packege, thinking it is mandatory.
All of this in a game with cash shop. Such a thing is most dirty and disgusting move I ever saw made by a MMO developer. Exactly what I expected from Funcom, to be honest.
Compared to this, Guild Wars 2 is a paradigm of honesty.
wait wut? gw2 will have a cs?! NO WAI!
wow OP! u must have awesum brainz or be a timetraveller to know this already!
impressive!
oh no someone might level faster then me the horror the terrible advantage they have over me leveling fasting and skipping content. An xp potion and and kind of experience potion does not affect your sole gameplay unless your only reason to playing the game is to get to leavel cap first IMO.
Lolipops !
