Cash Shop is a major risk actually. Yes, people will buy the items that would benefit them the most, because if they did not benefit anyone in any way, nobody would buy them, or at least not very many would. Comparing the first 6 months of cash shop to monthly fee would probably balance out, but the cash shop would probably render the company a very low income say a few years after, along with a dwindling playerbase.

Look at other MMORPGs with a cash shop. The only ones that are doing okay right now (financially) are the ones that are fairly new. Any free to play game will always have the most playerbase though, but that's not what SE is looking for, SE is looking for a profit.

Different companies have different goals, and depending on what they are, cash shops can be either the best or worst support any company could get.

On that note, I vote no. I feel that if they do add one, you can expect this game to last only a few more years to come, before they run out of unique ideas for a cash shop. If you took the time to think about what to add in a cash shop after 2 years of a game's life, what would you add that you haven't already? Just items with better stats?

You have to think of the long-term effects and how a cash shop can change not only the game, but an entire company. Think if CoD had a cash shop where you pay to have the best weapons? That wouldn't be fair though would it? Just put it that way.
