Cash shop confirmed

I understand corporations making money, but why as a consumer do you allow them to milk you so?

An example.

You have a chocobo, would you rather give SE $5 for said chocobo or would you rather not give SE $5 for said chocobo?

Question:

Would $5 saved me all of that running between lvl 1 and getting a normal choco at lvl 20? That would have been worth $5 to me.


As far as it being the sleipnir mount, does it provide me any additional in game benefits that other mounts don't? otherwise, I don't care.
