Sounds like how GW works at the moment: lots of extra things to buy but nothing that gives any players an edge over others. Which is fine. I like the change in the currancy, since GW does have quite a bad farmer infestation and has done for a few years.
@Logic EVE's PLEX system is widely loved by it's players. I think your thinking of their other microtransaction system that involves monocles and such.
this is good news, eve's economy is very well self managed by the players.Glad they're taking notes of CCP.
This will work because the whole eve/plex/monocle was a step many didnt want, it had wide spread anoyance beacuse plex was a pre-excisting thing which had value every 1 knew of and i can tell you plex i estimated around 324mil-400mil cumilated in 20mil a day work u can make 1 account free.
Now make those worth more well it isnt just game time now its items, yes cosmetic but how far were they willing to go, 1 internal email leak and shit got real gold lazors super paid ships the fuck is this shit. Yes you could say "but you can get 3 plex and boom u got urself a nightmare, but that nightmare gotta come from somewhere some 1 has to find the bp or get the ship via the loyalty store.
Introduce as a standing item and not half way with pre-excisting items, is only way to not have a lazor storm outside amarr (osiris) trade station.

I suppose I never noticed the spam... Then again, I never really look at the Global Chat while playing.
I like this, theyre learning the same thing Blizzard learned - that people are going to pay for ingame currency whether you want them to or not. At least this way it discourages things like account hacking, though thats likely to persist to some extent as long as there is an internet.
It all kind of depends on if they stick to their guns and dont allow gameplay enhancing items to be sold in their store.

I was reading this earlier. There's a really good line in the official page,
"We think players should have the opportunity to spend money on items that provide visual distinction and offer more ways to express themselves. They should also be able to spend money on account services and on time-saving convenience items. But it’s never OK for players to buy a game and not be able to enjoy what they paid for without additional purchases, and it’s never OK for players who spend money to have an unfair advantage over players who spend time."

I fear this might turn into Spiral knights. In spiral knights they had credits and Mist. Mist was needed to buy and upgrade things, but you needed real money for it. Luckily there was a player controlled AH system to let you spend in game money for the mist. Thing was, you could farm the Jelly king levels/boss and get loads of money. So much so you could buy mist and come out ahead. Since so many people could get mist without paying real money, farming runs turned into a big thing. So many people farming kept forcing mist price down where people just stopped buying to make a profit.
The dev did fix it kinda, but not in a good way. They added more payed items like keys to locked off levels/items. They then made it so all monsters dropped less gold while also adding much stronger new monster to stop farming. Now this was well over half a year ago, idk how it is now. I just hope guild wars 2 doesn't go down this path. If one zone is good for farming, things might go south fast.
Anywho, I know for sure I'm getting GW2, loved the first one.

@Nintendan,
That's a pretty valid concern. However throughout the original Guild Wars there hasn't ever been a ridiculously good gold farm, as far as I know. Certainly some lucrative ones, but nothing game breaking that completely destroyed the economy at any point. So I am quite confident ArenaNet will make sure nothing like that happens. Or let's hope so.

You cant really compare Spiral Knights to this system, honestly. In order to upgrade certain gear you NEEDED 300+ Mist in order to do anything with your gear, or upgrade it to the point you could get to the next levels.
With what ArenaNet is proposing, Gems wont be required in such a way.

The key difference is all max level gear has the same stats. A level 80 sword is a level 80 sword. They have different looks, but the same stats. There's not much risk in this system, and it gives devout gamers that don't want to spend real money a method of obtaining cash shop gear that may have a style they want.

If you can trade gems for gold, that means you can buy gold, right? And gold buys you items. How's that not getting an edge over other players?
UncleReg: Every max-level item has the same stats. The only difference is appearance. Also, if everyone starts trying to sell gems for gold RIGHT away the price will drop immediately and everyone will be able to buy them for super cheap.
@UncleReg Because Guild Wars doesn't and will not (ANet hav stated) work in such a way that having particular items gives you an advantage. The expensive stuff in Guild Wars looks very different from the cheap armour and weapons, but statistically it is all the same. GW players really care how their character looks so some of them are willing to farm/spend money on microtransactions/trade/etc for better-looking stuff, but they will not gain any advantage in battle. Right now in GW1 you can buy different-looking costumes and armour for your character, but these do not provide any statistical benefit. You can also buy more item space so your characters can keep more items in their shared storage space, but this doesn't increase how much any one character can hold at any one time, and frankly I've gone through the game with seven characters, in all campaigns, and not had to upgrade from the default storage.
In fact the one and only ''prestige'' item that does work differently from others is a particular bear that Ranger-class characters can tame in the starting area. This bear is different from the other animals you can tame because it attacks slower. Doesn't do more damage, doesn't have more health, doesn't body block better or anything. It's just slower, and thus, worse. That's the kind of game Guild Wars is and ANet have stated every intention to continue that in Guild Wars 2.
Guild Wars is not without its faults and GW2 probably will have problems here and there, but if there's one thing you can count on its that ANet and NCSoft won't screw over any of their users for any amount of money. Fairness is and always has been their top priority.

This whole system will hopefully prevent gold farmers from ruining everything. This will be ultimate gold wars!! medicare nc
I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you blog post. compare term insurance
I am hoping the same best work from you in the future as well. In fact your creative writing abilities has inspired me to start my own Blog Arkansas Health Insurance
Players will be able to trade gems for gold, meaning anyone with tons of gold will still be able to buy cool items without having to fork over real money, and if you have more cash than time, you can buy gems to purchase items. This whole system will hopefully prevent gold farmers from ruining everything. 9.7" android tablets
