"A Crown Store item is considered an in-game item" So people can spend a ton of RL money, and guild members can gift crown items for in game gold. This is seriously going to SCREW up the entire game, and trading system.
Why can't people be happy that those who are less fortunate now have a way of buying and acquiring cosmetic items from the crown store?
This thing has been in effect for quite a while now and it hasn't affected anything.
There is no pay to win in the game, it's simply not possible. There are no Crown Store exclusive items that will make you stronger, and gold only speeds up gearing up, which is in no way gamebreaking.
