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

Peachy, is because is "optional". Thats the only thing they like to repeat, everything that isn`t of their own interest is "Optional".

Until those of you against it can state how the items on the cash shop are mandatory, you can't argue against it being optional. Optional means it's not mandatory.

A Friend of mine was walking around in a full Arachne Set

Arachne Robe (goes for 1mil)
Aracane Pants (goes for 1.4mil)
Kirimu Gloves (goes for 800k-1mil)
Kirimu Boots (goes for 1mil)
Platinum Circlet (goes for about 500k->1mil)
Thats around 4700000-> 5400000 gil.

For a player that just got to level 50 it was a pretty big jump to go from i50->i110(HQ) in just a few minutes.
I asked them how they did it, guess what they did.

Bought $40.00 Platinum Plan, and sold the Promise of Devotion for about 5mil each.

Its not mandatory but if you have the money to spend it can get you a huge boost.

Think of it as an "Optional" Power boost.

It really isn't that hard to understand, it's just that the people defending the cash shop are like parrots repeating the same argument over and over while refusing to hear logical complaints.

Some people like to raid. Some people like to play dress up with the glamour system. Some people like to collect mounts and minions. Some people like to gather and craft. Just because SOME people don't like to collect mounts and minions does not mean that mounts and minions should not be considered content.

Let's start putting the new dungeons coming out in future patches into packaged DLC that you can buy similar to map packs through the cash shop. Dungeons are boring to me so I don't see them as relevant content. ... /End Sarcasm
