You think our Cash shop is bad...take a look at THIS

The FFXIV cash shop is bad. Outside of world transfers and fantasias, everything else should obtainable in game only (IMO). We paid for the game, we pay a subscription fee, and then they still charge on top of that for additional retainers, weddings, mounts, minions, etc. Sure, it's all optional, and a lot of it you CAN obtain in game (although very slowly, or only from special events), but it's still double-dipping on your paying customers.

Everything is at least priced reasonably but I have to agree - mounts and pets are whatever, other companies do it too (e.g. Blizzard) but previous event items and dyes? Not a fan at all those should be available in game the next time the event is around.

Most games don't even keep old event items around at all. Even if they run a similar event the next year, it's got new rewards and the old ones simply aren't able to be obtained. Having them in the cash shop for a few bucks isn't the end of the world.
