That way, if I don't feel like raiding for two straight weeks in game to get a piece of gear, I can simply go to the store to buy it with the money I worked for during those two weeks in real life. BJ You dont want pay to win but you want to buy raid gear. That makes no sense

I checked Yahoo's sources. This isn't credible. The guy who wrote the article was citing an investment report dated 3/10/2010. That was more than 2 years ago, and in terms of the source of the information, the report was created by an outside company. None of his other sources support the claims made, although I don't doubt that there will be some form of micro-transactions in the future. Take the article with a grain of salt.

The only MTs I can imagine being put up are stuff like species change, sex and/or appearance change, social items, % increase of social points earned for a certain period of time, possible server transfers if they go away from the free version, mounts, vanity pets and other types of vanity items, and other stuff of that sort. Basically things that doesn't affect economy, player performance, or game balance.
