Just Curious why SE never took a vote from players on what we want in Cash Shop?

Well then i guess just like if i want gill i have to work my bum off to get it ppl will have to do the same for the cash shop then right? it be unfair to take it Away because everyone cant afford it

Suggesting that it's as easy to make real money as it is to make gil in this game is an unfair argument. Depending on your previous work experience and the location that you live it can be very difficult to get a job that pays more than minimum wage.

I wasn't saying it was fair to take away the cash shop, maybe you're misunderstanding me, I'm saying it's unfair to offer items for cash if there are no other ways to obtain them in game that don't require personal wealth. If you live in a place where jobs are easy to come by and they pay more than minimum wage then so be it but I can pretty much guarantee that not everybody is that lucky.

The cash shop itself isn't what bothers a lot of people, it's the exclusivity of the items in the cash shop. There are 2 things people don't want to see in a cash shop for a subscription based mmo in my opinion. The first would be items that give you an advantage over other players, and the second would be items that are not obtainable in the actual game by any other means.
