I don't think this proves what you think it proves at all, OP.
What this proves is that predatorial, exploitative, insidious business models can exist in both pay-to-own and subscription models. What we have to watch out for in the future isn't the financial model, but whether any of the people involved have acted like sharks. I know I won't trust an NCsoft product ever again. Blade & Soul, WildStar, and any future titles are all off my list solely because they're NCsoft. With NCsoft being obviously owned by Nexon at this point, it's clear that future games will only be more predatory, not less.
And I'm not the kind of sheep who'll roll over and take bad punishment up the butt. I actually respect myself enough to not stand for that. So NCsoft isn't getting any more of my money. So long, ArenaNet. It was nice knowing you when you were you. Back when you were the ArenaNet that put together the likes of Prophecies, when you actually believed in your passions, rather than the shameless construct of exploitation you've become today.

This needs to happen. Big mistake in not having this in the game already.
I'm sorry, you must not have played GW1. sPvP has 1 map that has a Guild Lord, but the resemblance stops there.
We need GvG maps that are very similar to WvW maps, but at an eighth of the size. They should have keeps, defensive npcs, Guild Lord and all the siege mechanics of WvW.

And tbh sPvP is practically GvG from GW1.
