The Consortium is a thinly veiled reference to NCSOFT, their shareholders, and their enforces at ArenaNet - I have no doubt in my mind that this is a way for the writers to criticise these guys fearing for their jobs!

If this is the case, it either makes Colin complicit or rather oblivious and I'm having a hard time deciding which.

But isn't that a good thing?
They put items that does in no way or form effect the balance or the game or make the owner anymore powerful. Isn't that the very best thing a in-game store can offer?
They need to get money. The fact that they still keep anything even questionable out of the gem-store is a great thing.

No one is arguing over their right to make money.

It comes down to the practices. You're offering a red herring by implying people are saying they can't make money. They could offer the skins for a flat fee in the gem store. They alternate how they provide new skins. Ultimately, desire for a particular skin is subjective and consistent aesthetic quality would ensure some income was going to the store. How is that not a better outcome for the consumer, unless they're incapable of sustaining the game with a transparent and simple transaction, and therefore conceal the actual cost of the skins with a lottery.

A point accentuated by the number of people that would rather craft to 80 for a few hours than actually play the game to get that character to 80

I pretty much circumvent the game around 70 by crafting to the cap. I've never finished story mode.

Guild Wars has seen the end of an era of live development today, as ArenaNet stated that it is switching the game over to automation. The studio said that players should not expect any further content other than the systems being put into place to keep the game running on auto-pilot for the foreseeable future.

Nothing surprising. Just news.
