I feel this is the disconnect. People think that people who don't like the cash shop complain because they don't have the money. It is not a money issue (guilty of spending 200 on a silly transformer). It is the idea that the company is abusing the customer base.

If they announce that the veteran rewards is replaced with tokens. The tokens are then for cash shop items I could probably give a pass. Because then everyone who pays can have the same experience at the same price. People who want it faster can spend a little extra.

Not just a FF14 problem, but we have to reach a tipping point with micro transactions (hope?/believe?). The movie industry for years has spent squeezing their fan base. Less people lets just sell them higher tickets with extras. Recent articles at least point to a fear that people could stop showing up in droves.
