I'm sure many people will agree that this game takes quite a few ideas from WoW, cash shop included and I wont defend it being there. But at least this game does not really waste development time on making stuff specifically for the cash shop like WoW does.

This does seem to be a good thread to ask a question I've had sense the start of the expansion. What was their reason for not giving us a free retainer when they said they couldn't expand our inventory due to server restrictions?
