Cash shop confirmed

[Xairos]

I would like to hazard a guess and throw this out there that a few of those who are against the cash shop aren't against it because of what it is, rather what it could represent: SE making an mmo to be popular instead of trying to be different. Buck the trend. Swim upstream... what have you.

I am fine with the shop, but that is because after playing 2.0 I realized that SE was moving towards trying to make a popular mmo that has slight differences from your average WoW clone.

Yoshi looked at what makes a mmo popular in today's market and tried to make somewhat of a compromise. I hate wow, but i will admit, it has some good ideas on accessibility and how they present their content. In my youth I would have adamantly argued for SE to sink and be different rather than change and try to find some workable medium.

Also, I admit to getting the CE upgrade (digital because i was impatient) just for the minions and the mount and the gear. But this was after getting the 2.0 for free because I had 1.0.
