Hey, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I just have the feeling they will sneak in microtransactions into the game one way or another.
Sneak them in? They've already said 'Yo dudes, we're having microtransactions. 'sokay? 'salright'
They're the worst sneakers ever. Arenanet fails ninja school, I guess.
Hah, but you're mistaken, because what they'll do is NOT introduce microtransactions, very sneakily when everyone was expecting them. And when everyone is surprised and shocked and slowly starts to accept it, nodding and saying to eachother 'ah, this is better, good that ANet changed their plan, I like this even more'... THEN they'll sneak microtransactions in

That is what they have said. Its all out in the open, no sneaking whatsoever. Why would they spend time and money making new content which doesnt raise any revenue?

If the player in my example had a faster means of traversing a zone for which he had no unlocked waypoints it may have made a difference. Map travel isn't going to allow you to instantaneouly travel to every point in the game. There will still be physical distances that have to be crossed. And will encounter the same sort of issues in WvWvW. There are going to be battles occuring where no waypoint exists.
On a personal level, I don't give a rat's ass if a mount system is implemented or not. Although I do disagree with those that argue that there is no place for one when clearly there is and there is a decent percentage of players that would like to see on in place.
As I said you are still missing the point, you think you will need to go to that event in time, because you might need the loot or reward or it might have been a cool event and now there is nothing to do.
You do not. Events give you karma, karma is the same everywhere, you don't need to go to a particular event, you can get karma at any event, you don't even have to finish or begin the event just participate enough to get a gold score. So rushing to an event for reward isn't an issue, you didn't miss a guild raid with its reward like in WoW.
Event in GW2 are points in a chain, they are not even liked in a single series, there might even be a bunch of small simultaneous events forming a what seams a big one and the action is not stopping, one objective ends, the other kicks in immediately, there is still action, no cut, the chain is still going forward and the people are not leaving (because there is nothing else to do, an event ends, the next ones are already in place and you have no choice but to hop in, if you are not doing events you are either in a dungeon, in personal story or PvP, that sums up the content). Unless you kill a world boss (which as I said, if you miss a world when entering a map it's because is was already near death, you would get anything anyway because you were too late before even coming (even if you could TP right into the event), in the demo the events when fast paced to give the new players a good shot at the game since it was only 45 minutes sessions, and even then the big bosses could stand for 1 hour easy, so walking for 5-10 minutes to get there is nothing, the events last longer than that).
They are not making a game where you have to go to that one place to enjoy the fun stuff, their goal is to have it everywhere, the chains are spread all over the maps.

There will not be any Pay to Win in the GW2 cash shop, it's all vanity. If they do decide to put mounts in the game, then vanity mounts will certainly be in, but paying to go faster than everybody else will not happen.

'Ello, we overheard that you fancy microtransactions, so we put DLC in your DLC so that you may splurge whilst you splurge? That sort of thing? Told us that we're buying costumes, but not that we're buying costumes in raw resources which we have to take to an in-game tailor whom we'll have to pay real money to to construct the actual costume we want? That sort of thing?
That's dastardly. Though I'd best stop before I give MMO developers ideas.
There are plenty of staples for mmos and I get the whole we want mounts thing. However fluff is fliuff you got fast travel implemented already. There is no real need for a mount you wont get anywhere faster than someone teleporting, you wouldnt be able to use them in pvp, and if they heard this whine and decided to do something about it you could delay the game even more.
You have so many titles out their with dedicated mounts you could take you pick of 90% of the games and get awsome mounts. I dont have much against mounts but at the same time if they give me quick travel why should i care if they in the game.
