I will be staying to see how this all pans out. From the sound of it, as it stands, nothing changes besides subbing players getting more content/freebies. Of course, like many people, I feel this was a knee jerk reaction and they should have waited at least a few more months then the plan to. But this is what we get, so let us see how things go before we get too upset.
And anyone on these forums saying they are going to GW2 don't fool yourself. Their most recent beta was terrible. They had no idea how to debug their own servers and were asking players on the forums what they thought the issue was. So servers were horrible, but their cash shop was up and running already. Had way more then just vanity clothing too. Enjoy buying potions there with real money.
