I've procured a handful of items from the shop, including some glamours, some minions (in particular characters who have "moved on" in the story or changed drastically), a few housing items, etc., just mostly whatever is on sale and looks like fun.
And I'm extremely happy with everything I've gotten! There hasn't been a single item I've gotten that I don't use or enjoy, but I also am extremely picky about the things I get. Probably my favorite purchase up to this point is the Nehza mount (flaming wheels on the feet). Mounts, especially Flying mounts, in MMOs is always a joy to behold and play with, but those wheels in particular delight me because it makes me feel like it's my character themself that is flying and not just another creature bearing me aloft, lol
Also agreed, I have no intention of purchasing any of the skips. I'm thoroughly enjoying slowly but surely going through the entirety of the game, and that includes building up and learning all of the Jobs. Each has it's own unique questline and story, so that's something I want to thoroughly savor. ^_^
