As long as the item shop is mostly cosmetic I don't really have a problem with it.
FFXIV could have attracted more players by not expanding their Cash Shop as much as they did, potentially making more money long term.

I believe seeing the Mog Station Cash Shop and how big it is will be a big turnoff for many WoW players who may consider playing FFXIV.
