Pay 2 Win to me is only something that you can obtain with Real Money, and not via any other methods. Since all the stuff you can get for by buying Gems you can also get via Gold2Gems without paying a penny it’s not Pay 2 Win, it’s more like Pay For Convenience.
That, and the fact it is a skill based game, GW2 to me is not Pay 2 Win. I think people are misunderstanding the term P2W. But hey, that’s just my opinion.
This is false. There are plenty of things you buy with money that you can’t get in game. Also you can buy levels and components for the best gear in game that you would otherwise have to grind. That is P2W. The End.
1 – you cannot buy levels.
2 – things like extractor you can buy by converting Gold 2 Gems and let’s face it getting gold isn’t hard.
You spend real money to buy JUST gems. BUT you can also get gems with GOLD which can be easily acquired.
The simple fact that there is NOTHING you can get with Real Money in the game that you cannot get otherwise makes this NOT P2W (since AGAIN you can get gems without paying money).
Your logic about P2W is flawed – please refer to my earlier post as you fall into the category of people who simply do not comprehend what Pay 2 Win is.

As a group of 5 we completed the Toypocalypse with 2 Dolyaks alive. However at the end neither of us actually received the Dolyak Defender achievement which requires you survive Toypocalypse with at least 1 Dolyak. Anyone else had this problem?
. Will give it a go!
