Huzzah for hypocrisy. Apparently gPotato is Satan incarnate for selling gameplay-altering items but Turbine gets a free pass.

Question: can one now purchase a 32-point build without achieving 1750 favor points? One can now just purchase it from the store for DDO points (which can be bought with RL money)?

Yes.

The Favoured soul class, Monk class, Drow race, 32 point build, respec options, xp-boost potions etc can all be bought for RL money.

obviously so can hirelings (which cost a few minutes of work to buy-ingame at any level) and adventure packs (quests/zones)

truth of the matter: niothing you buy at any level will help you end-game beyond GETTING you there. (with the notable exeption of the +loot level item for a set ammount of time)

GOOD. The one thing keeping me away from DDO was the 28-point "starter" build. I've heard every argument under the sun about how 28-pointers were "fine", but nobody was being fooled. I just don't play alts -- I don't have the time -- and it's important to me that my character have the best shot at lasting a long time. I don't want to have to regret my choices a year or two down the road, or start from scratch.

I think this purchasable option is a great change.

gPotato got flamed because their items where over priced. Turbine gets a free pass because their income is up something like 400% in regards to DDO. Do it right = win... Overprice your item shop = flamed.... Should all make sense now. =]
