Buying BiS gear isn't p2w? This is awfully stupid.

To buy the BiS gear, you got to have the normal gear first, and a big enough pocket to handle the 130+ coins per item.
shut up gdkid
Getting normal gear is not difficult, it costing a lot of coins doesn't make it any less P2W.
That's like so far away... ICC will be released in about a year, and it will take at least another year 'till they put the BiS gear in the market.
There's no private server without some kind of a boost for donor members, so quit arguing about having a marketplace.
the main question of this topic is just redundant because:
1) currently no one donate for TBC gear
2) unobtainable gear will never be obtainable via coin shop (read main threat on this forum)
3) speaking of end game you mean ICC + gear which would be obtainable both in game and via shop after more than 12 months from now on - after such time we cant be even sure that Warmane/Lordaeron would even last (reminder - everyone though Molten was safe)
arguing about such thing is stupid
No private server will be close to blizzlike, just because they need donations and donations doesn't come from good will(at least the majority), so they have to offer some kind of an advantage to those that are helping the server stay alive, be it with items or other perks.
Not sure how you can compare Ragnaros to Lordaeron haha! Lord has not even got it's wrath content yet and you judge it by TBC content? #slowclap... Also i agree with Zardonic. At least on Lord you cannot donate a full set of end game gear + smourne with your wallet :P
