I'm sure SE is paying careful attention to what's going on with games like Guild Wars 2, The Old Republic, and TERA.
This single idea scares me. To me, that's basically pay to win, since those people with more money than brains will be able to just buy their way to the cap. I had enough of that in Imperian, and I never want to go through it again.
