Yes leveling is easy but can be tedious and great thing about cash shops they can be used to offer pay for convenience options for those willing to pay.

It is an extra option, for those willing to pay. I get it goes against the original intent to a degree, but with cross server MB, linkshells, grouping server choice does not really matter outside of a select few things, and if those things are still of a concern to someone then they will seek a lower pop / new server.
Actually it's not. What it does in reality is encourage developers to create excessive grinds in their game so that people are incentivized to take the cash option instead of putting up with the grind. We see it all the time now in full retail products.

FFXIV is a full retail product with a subscription fee. We don't need a free-to-play economy on top of that. Stop asking to pay extra for things.
