I am personally against all cash shops for a subscription based game, but until SE falters people will continue to drink the copium about the "profits going directly into the game", or something that was more rumor than anything else. We shouldn't be shamed into feeling like we need a cash shop just because SE won't give Yoshi's team the resources they need.
I wish the profits went into the game. Then maybe shadow bringers wouldn't have been a huge content drought with half as much to do as previous expansions. >_>

The difference is wow do it in a worse way than Square Enix, plus the fact the game is being supported partially or fully from the revenues and not end up in CEO pocket like in Blizzard, I think makes people more forgiving.

But the day we'd get a FF token, hell will break loose.
WoW doesn't have a $40 mount or $18 outfits. I'd say FFXIV does it worse, personally.
