This is just appalling

It may~ But I'd appreciate it it the argument in favor of the cash shop items being so expensive was something more constructive than "OMG JUST DON'T BUY IT."

I understand that the cash shop is here to stay, and that's cool - but for me and many others, the value just isn't there. If they put things at fair prices (we're not asking for freebies or handouts) then we'd be more inclined to buy from them... And I think that's a point that a lot of people are missing.
We understand that it takes work, manpower, and even skill to put these items together. That being said that there's a line that's kinda being crossed in how things are priced, especially when compared to other successful MMOs on the market that have cash shops... (Not to mention those that rely on cash shops as a means of revenue as they don't have subs yet still offer cheaper items... <_>)

What would you say if SE started offering a 2-piece clothing bundle for $30? $50? "It's okay, they can charge what they want!" Would you still buy it, even though at $50 that's 5 months sub? Where is the line drawn for you, I'm curious.

The forums are here to provide feedback (another thing that people seem to forget, and want to brush everything off as 'needless complaining'), so that means on occasion we have to air out some negative stuff. How else are the staff going to understand how we feel on certain topics? I haven't developed telepathy yet sadly, god that'd make my life easier.

If you don't like these threads, you don't need to read them; they're going to exist whether we want them to or not. (neat how that argument works)
