Yup, I'd agree in part, there is some truth to a statement such as that. But everyone in the GW1 or GW2 world got there by winning, and I have yet to see a guild that has won a world that hasn't had their share of gold buyers. They simply don't exist. If you have an organized guild, with good leaders that your players like, and perhaps 2-5 players that prop your guild up fast, chances are you will win your world. GW and w100 are 1-offs in that the amount of gold required is higher, but its obvious that those conditions were met. If you have an organized guild, with good leaders that your players like, and no gold players, your chances are going to be dependent on whether or not other guilds have those gold players. Regardless, I don't think many people would disagree with the statements about gold buying these days. Just read the forums. It gives you a huge advantage, especially in the 1K worlds. I don't think anyone can argue that point and that's all I am saying. It certainly takes away from the "those guys are good respect earned" to the "Oh look gold buyer". Its amazing how defensive the gold buyer defenders are however. Amusing to a point.
