Why do people beg for cash shop stuff?

[Kaurie]

Yet we know the following:

1.) People use the cash shop
2.) The next expansion has a higher budget than the last one

Aside from not liking the cash shop, do you have any reason to conclude that it hasn't helped the game financially?

This line of reasoning is similar to:

1.) Someone unsubbed from FFXIV
2.) Someone subbed to WoW

Conclusion: Game is dying and everyone is flocking from FFXIV to WoW.

While it is a possibility based on the information, it's hardly enough information to draw the conclusion.
