Isn`t just vanity. Is 2 diferent experiences and thats why is bad.

Enjoyment is the effect of the game. Not the purpose.

Story, gear, vanity content, raids, quests the items cause enjoyment.

By design the game's purpose is telling a story in a progressional way. As I said if you can't see that you are delusional.

No, if that is what you truly believe than you are delusional.

The sole purpose of this game is to make SE money.
How they go about doing that is by making sure people will enjoy it enough to buy and play it. So in effect enjoyment is the sole factor in the purpose of the game. All of the things you listed play an important role in whether the game is enjoyable or not. If the game wasn't enjoyable people wouldn't pay for it, SE wouldn't make money and the game wouldn't be up and running.

All SE is doing now is seeing how much more money they can make, and how far they can push it with the cash shop before they start losing money.
When your sub doesn't buy you what you find enjoyable and you don't have extra money to spend on the "extras" that would make it enjoyable for you all you are left with is unsubing. SE wont care until the amount of money they lose from subs is more than they make from the cash shop purchases.

I am talking from a design and dev aspect. You are talking from a business aspect. We are both right.

Content and Vanity Content come from the design and dev part. Making it a cash option comes from the business part.

The reason Vanity content can be made a cash option because it doesn't break the game and make it Pay 2 win. This is why you don't see actual content of Story or gear in the cash shop. The dev and design teams main structure of the game is around a story and gear progression. Add-ons like Weddings and Housing is vanity content that does not impact the core development of the game. Business people decided that Housing wasn't worth putting in the cash shop but an extra bonus things for weddings were.

You have the option not to purchase this extra which is up to the player. If no-one buys it, it will not hurt SE one bit because the content is already designed and everyone that does buy is just a plus. Win win for SE. If people unsub because they can't get extra items in the game where there is a free option then that's the players choice but I feel the will have a better time playing a different game because there expectations were completely wrong. The items in the cash shop is no different that skins in LoL.
