Let's not beat around the bush, don't have money to smoke? don't play Aion, simple.

Whole game is a cash shop, NCSoft is WORSE than EA, Nexon is worse than them both though.

Pray ArenaNet keeps control of GW2, or it'll be dead at birth.

Gear means next to nothing in GW2...and that in itself is the subject of about twenty hate threads on the beta forums.

The Bottlenecking isn't coming from the game in particular, it is that the graphical demand in transfer rate, is through the roof with SWTOR and Aion and others, and the Bandwidth will be clogged into high heaven.
Here is the problem. Customers knows the game engine is a problem.

Bioware, however, blames its customer's having low end computers and dismisses ALL claims of having issues. THEY WILL however help these "low-enders" to also enjoy the game like the rest of us.

THAT's why I hate them.
THAT's why I'm hesitating to resubscribe.
THAT's why this game is sinking.

Their behaviour is despicable and not acceptable.

I consider XP boost as convienience stuff (especially since there it is no issue in GW2 to get levels done anyway). On the crafting boost, that depends on how crucial crafting is and how much pain it is without such a boost.

Pay to win is to me when the item shop has stuff that is better than everything else in the game and cannot be obtained by just playing the game, or it is just hurtful to play the game without spending money.

Gear means next to nothing in GW2 so there really is no best gear and you can't obtain XP boost or crafting boost by just playing the game and the coolest looking wearables will have to be paid for with real cash.

The Engine isn't the problem, the engine is fine, the way they designed the game itself is horrid for an MMO, the particles are EVERYWHERE in this game, the design for shading is god awful as well.

I will agree that customer service is horrid to.

I imagine they are working behind the scenes buying every major programmer on earth to fix the design without wrecking the game and sending it back into Beta.

I would say that those are definitely pay to win items. When you can pay to get an edge over people who don't pay, that is pay to win.

And my wife plays on this, which would blow away many current desktop configurations.

Oh boy. Sounds like they are having their original reasons for not having forums confirmed. And also finding out that you can only do two things wrong in making a game: 1) do something old, 2) do something new.
