    So those who want to make item ingame can make their item ingame while there is an optional vanity on the vanity market.
    Wouldn't be profitable in the least. People would just buy the vanity item from other players for gil rather than waste their money on the one in the vanity shop. A vanity shop can't work unless there's exclusive items in it. But adding one will accomplish nothing more than cause a massive drop in player subscriptions and further ruin SE's dwindling reputation.

    There's simply no way around this. The only mmo that has ever gotten away with being P2P and slapping a double dipping cash shop on top of it is WoW and that's because the only people still playing it are literally trapped because all developers are either too scared or too stupid to risk making a actual new mmo rather than copy/paste WoW. Every single other mmo that has attempted it has had a drop in subscriptions so massive that they had to dumb down to F2P or shut down altogether or their subscription numbers were already so bad that the double dipping cash shop just finished it off. SE's reputation is already in the gutter as it is. You don't need to make it any worse by convincing them it's "ok" to double dip their customers. All you'll accomplish is digging them deeper into their own hole.

    Also that last part of my previous post wasn't necessarily directed just at you. It was directed at everyone suggesting a vanity cash shop (hence the reason I said "heads"). I've already said numerous times why a cash shop isn't necessary and would only manage to bury this game just like pretty much every other P2P mmo that's attempted the same thing but every few pages someone chimes in with essentially "but but but" completely ignoring all my points.
