Say it's $40 (or more) for an i270 gear.... You have not worked for that gear. You're buying your way through for power and just did so to beat everyone that hasn't even payed for that gear. Immunity grant. This will enrage so many players in this game. I mean if you think the reaction of some when Yoshi-P made an announcement about a "leveling" potion is bad.... Selling i270 gear to individuals will create an outrage.

Pay to play + Pay to win combinations do not mix.

And yoshi-p talked about why he doesn't want pay to win options but rather pay to glamour.

Do you wanna give me reasons why you think your view is better to maybe enlighten me or have me think about why pay to win is better?
Yes, they did. They worked for the money that they used to pay for it.

Just because they didn't work in-game doesn't make their work any less valid. If someone doesn't have the time to play enough to max out their tomes every week and do Dun Scaith or rare hunts, then it's perfectly fair for them to trade time for money. That is reality. Time is money and we trade time for money every day. That's economics and society.

And your accusation that it would be pay to win is false. It would only be pay to win if you couldn't earn the gear normally through playing the game in a reasonable amount of time proportionate to what the cost of the gear would be in real money.

Not saying they should or shouldn't do it... I have no horse in that race and don't care. But there's nothing detrimental or "un-balancing" about it, and definitely not pay to win. It's just trading time for money... which is a daily reality.
