Just to clarify what he said at EU Fanfest, he was clarifying a hypothetical based on complaints raised in threads like this. He mentioned that some had expressed concerns that all minions from now on would be on the cash shop instead of in-game, but he said that would not be the case. He said that the funds raised through optional item shop sales would be used to, for example, add more minions and other items in-game.

So, he didn't say that the cash shop minions would be available in-game, but that they were going to continue putting minions in-game too.
