I just come to the forums for the lulz after I stopped playing along with 50+ friends after I figured out that this "game" is P2W(among other obvious issues, p2w being the main reason).
Knowing that the new class will be Warlock and NOT Ranger or Bard (the ones the community wants!!!) makes me chuckle.
Got a source on that? Or is it just personal opinion like the P2win comment?
I really hope, (which they will probly really do anyway) that each paragon path will be 5-10$ per char. That will make for some great Forum luring entertainment. Really looking forward to this "Module 1" -........gooood times
Its unlikely that Paragon paths will be out this year. They fairly definitely won't be out in Module 1.
It is unlikely that they will cost $5+ per path.
I would even guess that PWE will give a free respec when they are all released.

The pay to win thing isn't only his opinion, it's even a fact. Things like Greater Vorpal and Greater Soulforged enchantment say everything (PVP anyone?). And no, it's still pay to win if you could get it through farming, because it's not possible through legit farming to get such a high enchantment in an acceptable amount of time. I mean with legit farming daily Foundrys and PVP quests. Only possible to get it through real money or if you exploit someone else's money bag like if you sell an item in the auction house for 500.000 diamonds. The idea of Cryptic to make loot "Bind on Pickup" shows that they don't seem to like that people can sell things for such ridiculous numbers of diamonds. And I understand them very well.
Paragon paths require REAL work and testing to implement. Why would Cryptic want to do more work then they have to? Its easier to throw cosmetics at you and charge you 60 bucks.

Every time they idiot-proof something...they make better idiots.
Well, if you said PvP is P2W due to mounts, I'd agree with you.
Vorpal and Souldforged don't help you win PvP.
Real work takes time, so yeah, they will throw cosmetics at us in the meantime. Which is great.
No Paragon Paths in Mod-1, I think, but we have some new powers... for free.

You get a very high stats and damage kick from enchantment and runes. But to reach the highiest level you need coalescent ward and similar due to the huge drop of in fusion chance. Those are rare , and cost money to get in big enough quantity. Thus, you cannot compete meaningfully against someone paying for more and higher level enchant than if you don't. That's the theory. Personally I don't care since that game is not really relying that much on PVP.
