Ignore this and move along.
Hes clearly making himself a completely idiot to get this kind of reactions.
Just let this thread die.

Yes, but I think the OP thinks Costume items are considered "Gameplay items", too. Anything cosmetic or unobtainable any other way, as seen by his signature...

6 pages on the payment model? good lord, it's not rocket science
OP go here,

excuse me, but it was you that was proven wrong when you suported that the box cost would cover 100% of the content (including all in game rewards) and that only game services would be extra.
No need to call anyone an idiot if no one is calling you one (who would have more reason maybe).
ok so it took them 5 years to add fluff items. Better than most games and it was recent so I missed it cause i stopped playing gw1 along time ago
well, to be fair, i think it has only reached 6 pages due to the fact that so many of the game's followers arnt very clear on what the payment model will actually cover and what will be charged as an extra.
Just ignore people who are trolling.

It's worth noting that even you think of cosmetic items as "content" - Anet understands that some players are all about earning cosmetic items and achievements. They have talked about several ways to earn such items, through dynamic events, personal story, achievements, etc. So you can still have that gameplay experience. If you are going to attempt to argue that offering a few extra costumes that may or may not be earnable in the normal game (and which haven't even been confirmed as being offered that I've seen) is somehow ruining your gameplay experience, then I don't know what to tell you.
Have you cared to look at the costume FAQ at all?
Or do you consider cosmetic items content aswell?
Q: What are costumes?

it's cool razor, I appreciate the effort, and you are still pretty much the only guy that knows the difference between fluff and services

Assuming you're not an incredibly talented troll (and if you are, my hat's off to you -- I stand in awe of your passive/aggressive approach), giving this game a pass because there are a few costumes or pets in an item shop that you can't otherwise obtain through grinding, is rather short-sighted. Seriously, if your make or break issue is something as inconsequential as this, and you're seriously not captivated enough with the rest of the game to put out for the price of the box, you're right, this game isn't for you.
Good luck with whichever game eventually catches your interest.
Those sold pretty well in GW so you will find them very soon in GW2
Also the MMO community has changed allot in those 5 years so people are more open to paying for fluff.

Of course costumes are content lol, they are pretty much a definition of fluff content can be.
They are an in game reward that you buy for real life money for your character.
Got to be honest with you. I'm all about the fluff content. I only bought Aion because I could do my character's makeup and have her run around in high heels all day. Heck, that's the only reason I bought The Sims 1, 2 and 3.. Lol.

Maybe you need to read the OP...he does not want fluff items in the Cash Shop.
For me it is not a big issue...I have paid for fluff before.

OP, i dont think you are even trying to underdstand the contents of the store.
Guild Wars buisness model is:
Buy the 1 campaing, get unlimited acess to the the campaign and all the updates/upgrades ( you get 4/6/8 character slots with 1/ 2/ 3 per acount)
In-Game Shop:
get extra character slots
get extra storage panels(1 year old feature)
get bonus mission pack( mostly lore relevant , its just single player content)
unlock skills for pvp-only( also unlockable by playing the game, its just faster)
unlock mods for pvp-only( also unlockable by playing the game, its just faster)
buy makeover/sexchange/namechange
buy campaings you dont own yet
buy costumes ( not usable in pvp, no advantage, only 4 available and its the same look 4 everyone )
buy goty pack( bunch of weapons that were offered in the 1º campaign preorder, unmoddable, not realy relevant)
Guild Wars 2 buisness model is:
buy the game, own it forever. char slots limitations? unknown
In-Game Shop? no details, it will be similar
i don't see extra "fluff" content except for bonus mission pack ( but i agree that this should be paid)
the bonus weapons i dont realy use them
you don need the shop to play the game, to have awsome stats, pots, ingame mounts, minipets, play that realy cool dungeon or get that awsome elite armor that you can fully costumise.
GW2 its not out yet and there are no details about the shop content or it it affects gameplay. if you think GW2 its just another mmo similar to wow, then dont play it i couldnt care less. you have a wrong idea about the buisness model and if thats the desision maker for you i would wait until the game its out to find more about it than deciding if you are going to play it or not.
I will just say thank you
You sir beated me.
Then dont play it alright?

yeah, I bought the Sims 3 (for the GF you understand... lol), installed it, played for 2 days, saw how little was actually in the core game and how much content was in the store and just thought screw it and uninstalled
Wow, thanks for dissing everyone else in here for trying to understand you....
This is not a game.
Whether he intended to play it or not is irrelevant, his only goal with this thread was to troll.
Mods, please lock the thread.
True true.
But I must admit something.
This was the most well made trolling I ever seen.
I must congratulate him in any form ^^
