@(Unverified) While I'd rather there be no way to convert $ into gold, keep in mind that with this system, they won't be 'forever printing' gold.
So there shouldn't be any major economic ramifications as the 'gold' these players will be getting by selling gems is gold that was already in circulation.
Again, rather it not be there at all but this is by far better than 99% of the cash shops out there. If Anet holds true to their words and if GW1 is any indicator, all shall be fine.
No, but I really need to... I never finished my HoM. It's hard to find time for it between all the other games, especially TOR atm. (my main MMO till GW2 comes out)
