GW2 is following the same B2p/cosmetic model, and if there is nothing "game-breaking" with the model being used, then I believe it will be a success just like it's predecessors..
    The one thing I hate about micro transactions is it focuses on freebie cosmetics that should be gotten in game via accomplishments to promote individuality (ie if you have a certain badass look its because you defeated that hardmode raid encounter, not because you went to E-Macy's and bought it).

    Still, GW2 is looking better than anything out there for the foreseeable future.
