The official blog ArenaNet recently announced "Guild Wars 2 Gold" of the trading system, announced that the game will have combined with virtual currency and reality of the currency trading. But a lot of people forget to three years ago the Runes of Magic cash shop will do, this is different from the other RoM free MMO place.


However, due to fraud flood, Frogster finally removed the gold purchase diamond function, so it makes people worry that ArenaNet how to handle the situation. RoM had appeared in other problems, that it is safe problem, players drilling system loophole fraud, pay the winning debate and so on, the problem is not just cash shop it would affect the GW2 Gold game balance, there will be more of other problems.

Integrated cash shop will not directly affect or perish Guild Wars 2 Gold coin business. The system just for selling the gold buyers and provide a space. Although many people argue that the cash shop will not sell the goods affects balance, and removes middleman, but ArenaNet is want you to spend. Sell something not important, the important thing is the game companies want to you draw out money. The mall make assumptions studio is very good, to get you on the inside of the items sold interested, so also the Cheap GW2 Gold for selling provide business opportunities. This is to create value and sell value. But now, people focus of concern or ability to prop or more accurately, and combat the props. In the guild wars 2 "in maybe we can see the value of change, and this value but took plain code marks a price.

Selling Guild Wars 2 Gold can be will not therefore be intimidated, they will and official cash shop launchs price competition. They can not what the daily maintenance cost, if ArenaNet are profitable, they naturally also can make money from.
In addition to rely on to supply and demand balance the price also is not realistic. Fraud and selling gold and other unknown factors can influence to the competition. The RoM diamonds can sell to each star before 10000 gold. Over time, the price also have some adjustment, but with the economic collapse, let every diamond price such as roller coasters general straight broken 100000 gold. In a few months later, Frogster direct intervention in the price dropped to 50000.

But in the end Frogster said, because the fraud phenomenon, they decided to remove from the auction diamond trade. After that, they have been help players and find their own way of solving problems, but eventually diamond or no return to the auction house. So, ArenaNet may also face these problems. Including the use of low level items sell high cheat behavior, sell the Guild Wars 2 Gold natural won't give up through the auction houses to seek a lot of money.
If not the player to brush the number of how many resources on limit, so players will naturally in short time have a lot of resources, and then will the game into a large GW2 Gold exchange market, and thus impact currency prices and disrupt the economy. This for some players doesn't seem fair. ArenaNet mentioned have strict account will service and convenient goods policy, what money does not have the time to balance players and have the time did not have money to the gap between the players, and gem trade can also let both sides benefit.
This set of natural raises all about pay to win the debate. Many games have the debate, but they won't have any results. "The Guild Wars 2 Gold" also is such.


The debate really interesting place lies in "pay to win" the argument itself is fake proposition. Although the guild wars 2 "joined the cash shop, the player's driving force is the same, and they finally it can find for other players to unfair way, this and game system have nothing to do.
conclusion

"The Guild Wars 2 Gold" itself is to let people look forward to unceasingly, but for cash shop to join whether it is really as ArenaNet say it was perfect or need to look at. Integrated into the game as a charge free game elements may be able to change the future of the game and payment method. Or wait until all the game again after sale to prove it.
