That's actually the beauty of having a cash shop. WoW is releasing their cash shop to Asia first, and then working to impliment it wider as time progresses. Their items will be mostly cosmetic, I'm sure, with some pets and mounts along the way - and they'll be converting their current web-based shop to in-game. As for GW2 no having planned content updates, their goal is to not need them as often. They'll add various thigns from time to time like world events, holiday events, a new dungeon, maybe a new quest-line, but the goal is to last longer than needed for the average expansion with thier current setup. I think GW2 is on the right track, along with the new stuff from EverQuest Next, the future of gaming is consistent company-made updates. At least not the way I see things going if these two games can take off.
