Acceptable Cash Shop Items: Suggestions!

[Ikeda]

I get it completely, it seems to be "Do you know how they would implement this? Because there are right and wrong ways to do it." v. "OMG! I know they are going to do it like this and completely screw us all over!". I'm simply arguing that if they do decide to implement a cash shop and offer vanity items along side what vanity items they already release and continue to release, what is the issue?

1. Have you ever seen a mmo implement a vanity cash shop like that where the "free" vanity items didn't look like crap compared to the ones in the cash shop? 2. Get it through your thick freaking skull. People play P2P mmos to AVOID CASH SHOPS. The second it even looks like a cash shop will be added to this game I can guarantee you the subscription numbers would plummet until the game isn't sustainable as a P2P game anymore. It happens every freaking time. You fools are practically begging SE to make a very stupid decision that would kill off their game.

SE isn't some freaking juggernaut company like Blizzard or Activision or EA. They're a company that people have been slowly losing faith in since the PS2 era. They would never be able to get away with a double dipping cash grab stunt like that.

Also please show the the section of official gaming law where it states it's illegal for P2P games to have cash shops.

Gamers made it unofficially illegal. They've abandoned every single P2P mmo that dared to try to have a double dipping cash shop by the hundreds of thousands or millions and have caused every single one of them to dumb down and go F2P or shut down entirely. The only reason WoW has survived it is because it had so many players there were still enough players left for it to be profitable. FFXIV only has about 1 mill subscribers at most. It wouldn't survive the inevitable massive loss of subscriptions it would cause.
