Honestly, from what I've seen in the game, weapons of higher level, don't have a **** ton of bonus stats over their lower level, lower rarity brothers. So buying the best weapons with real money, doesn't give you the huge advantage as it would if this were some other mmo, where all the weapons have set stats, and are pure increases. This is one of the things I foresee the game doing, since it lacks the standard lvl system that other mmo's where P2W would be a problem.
this is still the beta.. the weapon stats for all guns are the same as their base.. a lvl 200 shotgun has the same damage as a lvl 300 shotgun of the same type.. it wont be like that in the real game
the game has not been released yet and most of us agree on some part of item-shop that should be removed. this is just the beginning there will be future updates and more. im sure they going to add more stuff to the item-shop that will give cash user advantages. it's always about the money and always going to be about the money the developers don't care what we want what we think all they want is the $ so in end we all can discuss this agree and disagree however nothing will change they will just ignore it.
its not about keeping the server going or keeping the players happy its all about profit nothing else matters.

More like play to boost when it comes to micro transactions
But yea all weapons are available to you except those that will be in future DLC that you always buy if you want
The best way to look at it is like this. Will changing a P2W aspect make them more cash or not? If no, then your gonna have kids spending moms and dads cash to be the best little gamer they can be. If yes, then weapons will be dumbed down. Its all about the money.
Well, I hope you guys are right because I'm already in love with the game and I only played Beta. P2W would ruin it in a way, but each is own I guess.
Fist of I don't play F2P trash item mall scam hunks of junk and don't like the P2W moto I will happily pay my subscription to a AAA title from a quality company be 15, 20 or what ever a month but will not pay 1$ to the item mall scam shop.
You want to go with this format then do like the other MMO's or DUST514 make it free don't have me shell out 150$ give me a bunch of fluff stuff I will lose or throw away and a week have the DLC I payed for be nothing but fluff extra's and everyone gets all the maps, characters, races and such the major things free in the patches and expect me to fall into some facebook game or F2P or P2W scam where I will buy your bits to get good gear or be competitive I will not.
From the beta I opened my T3 lock boxes and will say the gear out of it at ego 100 and something was better then any drop's I found through out the game and that me reaching a490 something the 3 sheilds I got were unmatched one was even a blue level 4 with 25% health regen that I wore from 100 to 490 and never seen anything to rival it in any drops and basicly did hours of farming 3 spots continuously and not 1 purple and not one item better then the box or the vender mostly trash.
Also what if you don't buy bits you cant get any lock box's beyond T1 ? I was never able to have more then one key at any give time and nothing but trash comes out of the T1 box, anyone ever get more then one key ?
Someone tried to compare this games item shop to dust 514 it's totally different dust 514 item shop does not give you the leap a head like this one does and their price for what they give you is really good for my 15$ 20$ I would pay for a subscription to a MMO I get enough shop money to boost my SP/EGO for several months the items I could get are generally just one tier above mine and if I buy them I only save having to put the SP into getting that item right away also if I choose to buy gear 95% of it is usable/ losable gear if I die in it I lose it and no matter how good you are in a FPS your going to die at some point, also it's not game breaking the guns and armor are able to be bought with in game cash at the same level and above it's not like I am getting a top tier item right out of the starting gate but here you can like I said no item dropped the whole game better then my lock box's I should have spent all my bits on box's rather then getting all the boosts maxed out all for the entire beta because unlike dust items beat out your level here in dust you need to have put the time in and put your skill points into a skill such a gun or a suit to and spending RL money will only get you access to the suit or weapon 1 step abouve your current skill here you can get that game breaking SMG out of a T3 box bight from the jump if your lucky enough or spend enough.
This game turns out to P2W F2P model of trash or the DLC is mostly all free and I get some fluff trash I within 90 days of me buying it I will simply do a visa charge back as not getting the product as described did it before of darkfall, and some other games and have no problems doing it here I thought wow finally a game that puts all the DLC in their top of the line edition now it looks like some F2P trash strait out of asia only thing missing is the gold farmers, and level up spamers in regional chat but I am sure their on the way.
