Cash Shop Overpriced?

[Tupsi]

Sleipnir is awesome, but just flat out overpriced. Why should I buy a mount that's twice my monthly sub?

Easy, you have two options:

1. You want to buy it because you want to
2. You don't buy it because you feel it's overpriced.

So asking 'why?' in that sense is more of a personal preference, not being forced onto you. As for how much they benefited compared to backlash? Look at the DPS queue since NIN released...backlash was only from the small vocal group that said the cash shop would kill the game.
