anything that involves real money other then the sub needs to stay far away from this game.

if you buy stuff with real money the AH/MW will die, crafter will become useless why work for something when you can just buy it with real money. and yeah people will go the easiest route 100% of the time.

This kind of system doesn't upset the "level playing field" in any way. It doesn't let anyone acquire anything that isn't available with in game money. If anything, it levels the playing field further by giving those that don't have as much time to spend into the game a way not to be left behind the curve.
it destroys the economy for one. well you can also buy melded stuff what if they sold 5 meld armor then no one will craft and people will just buy everything. playing field will be very lumpy.
last thing i want to do is shell out real money.
