    Square Enix pays their staff like any company a sallary or hourly wage. Them having more money isn't going to suddenly make them want to spend it on the game, it's just going to boost their bottom line.

    Unless Square Enix is hiring new members for the development team, the exact same ammount of work is going to be done on FFXIV today as it was tomorrow, the operating budget will likewise remain the same, likewise anything expensive like moving servers wont be looked at until the companies next budget meeting and trust me that "Cash shop revenue" is not in a collum of the spreadsheet the bean counters will be using when they decide if moving the servers to EU is a profitable move for the company.

    The EU data center will happen only if and when SE feels they would gain more customers than the cost of implementing the data center would cost, not a single thought will be givin to how much cash shop is generating comes into that decision.

    That's one option but a extreme one at best. Trust me a few people will probably not let their subscription renew due to the cash shop.

    The real clincher is if people make enough purchases to justify the cost of developing content aside from the main game. (This of course is only possible if they aren't just stripping existing content from the game or development team to place into the cash shop ala Odin mount)
