Unfortunately when people think about Cash Shop, they first think about China's Cash Shop... Noticed the heat build up by those "mystic chests" over at GW2 forum? Really pain-in-the-ass. I was wondering if those people actually know what's inside, or can their brain try to think out of the box, cross road rather than straight road, etc.
Well in a nut shell the exp boost in cash shop is not really awesome. Why? Because exp from killing mob is not really anything big so far. The most useful thing however, is the karma boost, 50% or something for 1 hour. You only get that from mystic chest, I didn't see it in cash shop last BWE. More karma the better, you need huge amount of it for level 40 top ranked gears...

(there only few people get to 40 in BWE anyway and I'm not one of them

sleep too much)
And still, mystic chest and it's key both
drop from monsters. So I don't see any problem there.
Cash to gold and gold to cash function seems to be appear in other MMOs nowadays too (currently playing C9 and there is), guess those developers finally can't-hold-breathe-any-longer keep bothered by gold sellers.
And yeah, if Anet don't give me another BWE... I'll devoured by C9 real soon. (Continent of Ninth, if you didn't get it)
