Tbh considering vanity an advantage is a bit silly. What are you gaining advantage over? Oh wow you have an ok looking body piece...now go clear Final Coil with nothing but that vanity armor on.

Arguing for the sake of arguing really, when all they have to do is simply not purchase it to prove their point.
If people don't want to pay for it, they won't and SE will avoid adding more. Numbers don't lie.
Do you remember when they originally revealed minions.
Basically what they said was, they were to be used as either rewards or fun things to collect, as they had a low production value.
If you ever once thought "They'd never add this to a cash-shop", then you clearly weren't here on launch with the rest of us.
I can understand that what you want to do is collect minions, mounts and maybe other stuff in the future, but if it hinges so much on the fact that you don't want to pay for it, then simply DO NOT pay for it.
Numbers speak louder than words in the world of business.
It's something we just have to deal with or buy into.
I genuinely dislike it, but I know just from walking around and seeing the minions and mounts that it's here to stay and that they'll add more, so for now it's just a "WELP".
Once I see something I find worth the money I'll probably buy into it as well, there's literally no point in me or anyone arguing the fact.
"Look I bought a cool horse and you don't have a cool horse, look at how cool my horse is and you don't have one but I do." While not everyone who purchases from a cash shop might think like this, it's one of the major obvious bases on which cash shops are built upon. People will buy shiny things to have more shiny things than others, therefore having an advantage at least collector or ego wise.
Yes, the F2P safety net was really apparent since day one, no surprise there.
The issue here (imo) is that you're assuming some malicious redefinition, people have the right to their own model given it can be proven with some accuracy. Sure these changed definitions do -not- match one popular form, that does not mean they couldn't be proven accurate to its construction (reading each word together).
Slapping Galka lu shang with Shioban is endless fun* and I'm sure what I attempted to say was lost in translation but anyone going to battle against opinion has already hit a wall.. I figure some people are bending it just to do it, but I have faith (anecdotal evidence ftw) that most are not being corrupt in their vision as much as it is just "their vision". They're not happy with the circumstances and to them legitimately SE is selling what they would consider a game goal to them. Are you to argue they are playing the game wrong?
Really feel like we're working on a unwinnable battle....
*I can respect someone's expertise and disagree, no hard feelings/not sarcasm. But fyi you missed my mog mail I was going to go big on that last letter :P

Welcome to capitalism? Actually, further than that...welcome to humanity. Hope you enjoy your stay.
