I'm finally going to speak up (Cash shop 2.45)

[Riepah]

I fear FFXIV will start to slowly go down this path no longer adding things in game for crafters to make vanity wise (such as spring dress or dye) and all this content will get pushed into the cash shop for optional purchase.

It started a while ago, and it doesn't seem to be going "slowly" to me, at all.

Yeah, I guess your right
Now that I think about it these dyes were added pretty fast into the cash shop, its only been open for a few months now.

I just fear they will add more and more colors into the shop which could be things added into the game via crafting.
I also hope vanity items that people really want, 2 in the future (and me included!) Wont get added to the shop, and vanity gear and dyes
will continue to be added into the game.

Been open for quite a while longer than a few months. The vanity items that came since then haven't been added to the cash shop. Remember: Buying Fantasias and Retainers were the first cash shop items introduced a long time ago.
