Cash Shop: Where do you draw the line?

[silentwindfr]

i feel the line was passed the moment they have added it, they had no real justification for add it exept get moar cash from us.
do it have allows to devellop more content? do it have make the situation of the server better? do it have make our daily life better? no, no and no.

nothing really was a good reason for add a cash shop at the start outside the greedy marketing team that did notice: "hey guys we have 2.000.000 customer! let's try to get them buy stuff!"
one of my friend did ask something interesting. do they make game for get money or do they get money for make game?
for me recently all i have see of SE is the first, they make game for get money, they are beginning to act like EA, Activision and Ubisoft, taking them customer for idiot and becoming more rude as the time pass.

because that the point, you don't add this sort of controversial content without check what want the community! it was simple to see it, add a poll to the launcher that can be done only one time per account for know what the whole playerbase want to or not. and depending of the result (announced officially) people will have accepted more or less the decision to add it or not.

because i'm sure if you do a poll about do you want to see a cash shop in the game, the winning will have not been yes, but no!
there they ask us do you mind if you want a cash shop into the game? yes, no, don't mind... most of the people don't mind because it's don't affect them. but with the eternal bonding they have gone soo much too far... we can even seen that they did try to calm everybody with the mount, since on the french website on one of the page it was said that the mount was only for the platinum version.

all of that for say.... i think the cash shop is bad in a subs game. the worst is most of the defender only care because in free to play it's normal. but we are not into a free to play.

i will say it clearly, we are in a subs game, no content must be gated behind a cash shop! whatever it is... they have no valid reason to add a cash shop into a subs game that do success! they need to stop to bleed the dev team of the FF14 by taking all the profit for make tons of game that are not sure to work!

ps: do i'm the only one that did notice that no veteran reward was announced recently? more stuff into the cash shop and nothing for the people loyal to the game....
because i'm kinda sure that the minion we did get into the cash shop (if not sleipnir) was planned as veteran reward....
