But if they're going to INSIST on adding things to it, they need to stop making people feel like they're being ripped off if they buy certain things. Paywalling job and story skips isn't great, but if you told people it was a one-time purchase and EVERY new character they made could start with any job ready to go for the last 10 levels of a current expansion while jumping straight to said latest expansion? That's going to open some wallets.
Oops - I came across as liking the cash shop more than I wanted to in my post XD I'm not for it, though used to treat myself every so often a while ago. But yes, this is if they INSIST on adding things to it.

I wish they had a WoW-token-esque system. But with how gil is in FFXIV I highly doubt that'd ever happen... A way to earn currency for the shop in game would be great though. I wish. Or, adding stuff in the shop to the game as maybe limited time events (like the trading post for WoW perhaps...? Woudl get people to resub).

(Apologies for only using WoW as an example, it's where I came from many years ago and while I'd never return, there's things in that game that would be great to see in XIV.)
