Emotes in the cash shop..

Actually, in keeping with what Assirra said, people DID ask to be able to purchase older seasonal items they missed a while back. So there's that.

Do we (the community as a whole) even know what we want anymore?

Some people say "please put in cash shop" in those threads and immediately other people say "ugh why are you asking for them to charge you more." So, it isn't as if every person is asking for something to be added to the cash shop and when it gets added suddenly people show up to complain. It's just that this battle between those who see it as a cash grab and those that don't mind SE charging for extra stuff has been ongoing since the cash shop's inception. Everyone eventually moves on when a new hot topic shows up, and SE is happy to just let you guys fight it out until then.

We do. But it's wrong of us to assume we all want the same things.

Its up to SE to make the judgement call of who to appeal to - in no way could they ever satisfy them all. In this circumstance, it benefits themselves and the game the most to make this compromise, as the only ones who won't get the items are those who do not wish to invest in this game one way or another.

Speculatively, I feel as if that falls those particular individuals outside of the range of the target audience.
