So you're (OP) saying that getting 200k AD is impossible? I'd say it's pretty much enough time to get such amount and decide if you actually want another slot for AD (don't want to spend $? Then gather AD and trade them for zen)
I think the price for 2 slots is okay, it's not difficult to get the AD or just to simply pay 5$
I just decided to get it because I wanted at least 1 slot more, to be able to test the ranger and future classes/races without deleting my chars.
No. you get 2 slots for 500 zen, just get extra slots . Think about it, if they are giving the new class free then it's possible that they may be planning to recoup the loss from char slots, bag purchase, stones etc. Char slots are one of the cheapest good things on the zen store which was the first thing I stocked up on, only because I didn't believe what I saw, thought it was an error, and that they were going to change it. 8 chars later still not worrying about char slots.
Two character slots is plenty to start off with. If you put in the investment into your first two to then decide you want more characters, by that time you should know whether you can/want to spend money on new slots or, if you don't have the money, you should be able to earn the 120k-200k AD to exchange easily. I'm a more-or-less casual player and I've exchanged AD for character slots twice already -- it's not hard.
Can someone provide the info of what things are considered character based as apposed to account based?
If I decide to delete a character or two I don't want the pain of losing something that I bought, I feel that anything you buy should be account based and be usable by a new toon or class.

Really hard to do this, as it varies.
Mounts: Any mount bought from the Zen shop is account-wide (can be claimed with all characters). Mounts from purchased packs are also account wide. Most mounts obtained in game (vendor or lockbox) are for a single character. I've heard there is a mount obtained from foundry achievements that is also account wide though.
Companions: Unlike mounts, companions from the Zen shop are NOT account-wide. Most companions from purchased packs are account-wide. But if I recall correctly the portal hound from the Feywild starter pack is not account-wide. I've been told companions from promo codes are account-wide (the green quality cleric and merc). Companions you buy in the game or get from a lockbox are not account-wide. There are 2 companions from foundry achievements. I think those are account-wide, not 100% sure.
Its pretty much a confusing mess. You're better off asking about a specific item.

I'm interested in hearing more about these foundry achievement companions and mount.

2 is more than enough. If you enjoy the game with 2 characters, which are able to experience all the content and reach max level, then you can spend the $5 to get two more character slots.

And two free slots it pretty standard in a F2P MMO.
I just decided to get it because I wanted at least 1 slot more, to be able to test the ranger and future classes/races without deleting my chars.

Since then those 4 characters have more then paid for themselves with coalecent wards and leadership tasks.

Most F2P MMO's have enough character slots to have a character of every class, or at least 3/4 of all classes.
Just take a look at Dekaron, Cabal, Dragon Nest and plenty of other F2P MMO's.

This is all you need know.
Play the Hunter Ranger now, you can even copy an existing character into the preview server.
