For the most part every game that has added a cash shop starts out small, then expands. Every update will add more and more to the cash shop that could (would) have been available in game. Then there is always the risk of them pushing the envelope, and considering SE is a corporation that is interested in maximizing profits, they will.

This will eventually lead us to where wow has gotten, buying max level characters and xp/tombstone potions.

One of the many reasons i enjoyed this game was the fact that there was no cash shop, but now i will probably save my sub and just go to GW2.
