Do you want a cash shop in FFXIV?

Genre does not matter.

yes, of course genre doesn't matter when it comes to cash shops, see that Farmville over there? yup, exactly the same customer base and business model as subscription-based MMOs!

Nowhere else is the slippery-slope argument more valid than against cash shops. Many eventually succumb to the lulzomgzicanhazitnao! crowd and become pay2win in the end.

also, every example you're pulling is a F2P game, 14 is not, so really, just gtfo already.

Lol must be that time of the month for you.

Anyway, why do you think those games are F2P with cash shops? because they are making more money that way than with a sub.

If FFXIV was F2P with a cash shop, and I mean cash shops that I have seen in other F2P MMORPGs, I would no longer play FFXIV

I don't mind a vanity/fluff shop, hell I would like that, but you start adding things in that actually do things, and that is where I start having a problem. FFXI got a little close with the mog sack and that outfit, but I had been playing the game for so long by then I stayed. (Plus the mog sack did not bother me to much, I bought that mainly for the security token)

if by that time of the month you mean the-time-of-the-month-when-i'm-sick-of-dealing-with-xxxxxxed-people, then yes.

no shit sherlock, nobody here is saying that F2P games w/ lolblings makes less money than subscription based games, what people ARE saying is that it doesn't belong in a subscription-based MMO like FF14.
