Things like gear makes more sense within the game world and should be included in the base fee. Things that give you a real advantage should be out of the question, but the retainer system's already got me raising a spikey brow.
Yeah, I know they are coming. I'm just disappointed with them about it. Before they add those items, those are the only 2 things that are permanent. And to me, an MMORPG really needs some permanent choices. It brings one closer to their character.

I don't quite understand why people are against vanity items being in a cash shop though; you don't need them, they don't give any advantage, don't buy them if you don't care for them. No one has brought up a good argument against vanity items being in a cash shop either and the best argument I've heard is "they're annoying".
They take away things from the game. It would make crafters even more useless. And also, everything that you can see in a cash shop, could have been made in to content in the game.
