Everything should be unlockable through playing the game we subscribe for.
I agree on this with one exception: Cosmetics. I see cash shops make great use of cosmetics, and agree that some cosmetics should ONLY be available through other means to help support the game even more.

I do NOT believe in cash shops selling stat items, so before someone even brings that up to me, you are now corrected. HOWEVER cosmetics are awesome. I pay a LOT of money in the MMO games I play for cosmetic options.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Mog station to get black metallic dye. Charge anything for it - I'll pay it. I want it. Give us some cool Chocobo barding options in addition to what we have in game. Awesome. I'll buy those too. Outfits galore, some hair styles . . . those should be cash shop items to expand what we can get.

I agree with Calypsx that pretty much all game content should be attainable by playing the game, but cosmetics is not something I include in this in my view, and I'd support expansion of cosmetic items in the Mog Station. That way it's not pay to win, not an issue for anyone and everyone is happy.
