Cash shop confirmed

[RinchanNau]

I want an instant win FCOB. Can I buy my win in the cash shop please?

Basically this.

Unless they're offering FCoB gear in the cash shop during 2.4 or 2.5 who cares? Is it just people that live to complain about every single change in the game?

Right because its always better to worry about things AFTER they happen......

Its what the cash shop represents as a possible path thats the problem most have with it. Once they get it going, and start making money hand over fist, anything they CAN sell, they WILL sell.

Common sense and knowledge of every company's goal (to make money)? Stop being so naive.

Blizzard is pretty great at making money. Not really any notable pay to win in their shop. Only notable thing is the much much higher pricing.

I wasn't talking about pay to win, I was talking about how they are going to use every possible mean to make money from cash shop, even if that means adding less things to game the normal way. They can't sell pay to win things, that would drag the most of the community except white knights away. But they can sell anything else and even that is in my opinion too much for subscription based game and to be honest if they added the possibilities that are in WoW (levelling up for example) it would be too much for me.

Isn't Blizzard the company that sells the ability to instantly get to max level with a brand new character with no work? Legit question.

It is - They're doing it because their design negated and obsoleted every past content. It's done to allow new people to catch up instantly with the new content and expansion if you choose to go that route. XIV is only a year old, while most content is obsolete, it's almost nothing to level in this game and having multiple classes per character actually keeps the leveling content relevant. The Blizzard Cash Shop for WoW has been around for awhile and that's literally the only "dodgy" thing in it - and even then that makes sense for that game. People say: "common sense it will happen!"...yeah, it happens...

In F2P and P2W MMORPGs...something people keep forgetting about.
