/this. you can already buy passes and sell them for plat (tho this may be against TOS, it's done all the time, and even that is a bad return on tp/plat. vendor prices aren't worth worring about for this, considering you need a LOT of plat to really pay to win where it counts; lower levels you can almost solo through in starter rags.
As for pay to win, i never bought into that anyway; it's not competitive, if someone gets there first, who cares, and other people getting there first in no way stops you from getting there. Even a game like EVE, where skills only go up with time, after a certain point in training and learning curve, you're able to fly a given ship as well as anyone who was there in beta.
