Yeah I love that you can purchase items outside of the game, just by simply logging into a website and browsing whats available. The gear issue is very intriguing though due to the loot drop system since everyone who participates in events, raids/instances is given an equal set of loot which leads into how super rare elite items will play into the equation, ones that belong to the best sets or quality of items that a full group of players shouldnt be able to get their hands on, rather just one person within the group. Gonna be interesting but if all Im worried about is some equipment that I wont see or get for a while anyways once the game releases then I think arenanet are on the right track lol.
