    The analogy falls slightly short at the fact that worst case cash shops charge you tenfold of the item value, or they steal your bike to sell it to you. But for a really good shop, the analogy is perfect.

    If you want to be that picky, then just consider it like TV. You pay a fee and get some channels. But renting specific movies instantly in the TV store costs a little extra.

    Renting is optional, since you can wait until a channel shows the program. But it is a shortcut for people who want things now.

    all items (such as vanity) should be FREE and included in patches. Exceptions include fantasia, name change potion and server transfer. That's it.

    I'm not being picky.

    I won't pay more than my subscription.

    Period.

    Nobody is forcing you, which is the point of a good cash shop. It only contains things you can get for free if you play a lot.

    Now a bad cash shop, it would have things you want like "hardest dungeon access, 25 bucks", but nobody on the entire planet want that kind of cash shop.

    We get nothing for free. We already pay a subscription. Having a shop on top of that, for more content, is bad IMO.

    Every cash shop eventually heads that way. Even one that starts well. A good cash shop is used the same way good intentions are in road paving.

    You jump so far into conclusions that you've now time traveled. You're so over reacting it's not even comical anymore. Your claims to this are merely speculative unless you can show definitive proof. I would however have to rebut by saying that in my experiences cash shops are 50/50 in their outcome and really depends on support and implementation by developers.
