Unless you actually like the existence of Cash Shop and want to expand it, shilling for SE just because you're a fanboy is silly and not in your best interest I'd say.
It seems to me that you're just echoing what you're reading from others without paying any actual attention to what I typed. Also this "give them an inch" saying is complete nonsense. You seem to forget that this is their game. Not ours. If they wanted to expand the cash shop, no amount of complaining on the forums will stop them. They would have already done it. We'd be sitting with BDO's predatory cash shop in XIV with it being a major part of the games focus.

I swear you all think this is the end of days every time they put a mount on mog station. If you want it, buy it. If you don't, don't buy it. It's simplistic. Not everything in life is free and your subscription doesn't entitle you to anything. It gets you an access pass to the game. Nothing else. This whole thread is completely unaware how a business runs, apparently. Businesses need money. They're getting money through subscriptions. They also added an extra OPTIONAL avenue to gain revenue. People that have extra money to spend can go there to buy optional things that get their attention if they so choose. It's not predatorial. It's not scummy. It's not shady. It's business. And a rather peaceful one in my opinion.

Also, calling me a fanboy for understanding how a business works and saying that I'm shilling for SE is a pathetic attempt to try to cover the fact that you have no real argument. Get out of here with that nonsense.
