OMG this thread again? Look you have a few options here.

1. Go to school, join a company and build your own MMO and show them how its done because you obviously know the ins and outs better then they do.

2. Boycott the game and convince at least 1/4 of your fellow players to do so as well and publish a well circulated manifesto explaining your reasons clearly.

3. Stop making these threads, thereby making me search all the anti-cashshop players on Lodestone to see how many minions and mounts they bought. I can only call hypocrisy so much.

4. Don't buy the items?

IDK man, #4 seems to be the easiest, although there is less outrage in that option and therfore less attention to be had.
