The only thing worse than adding a cash shop...

[WizardShotTheFood]

...is people whining endlessly about how a cash shop for purely cosmetic items is THE WORST THING EVER TO HAPPEN IN THE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES.

Well, that and 1.0. 1.0 was also worse.

EDIT: And everything that happened involving Wildstar.

Honestly, there's a lot of stuff that's worse, but I felt like limiting myself to stuff involving MMOs for purposes of defining "worst".

EDIT 2: Also City of Heroes getting shut down. That was much worse.

As was that time I tried to create three HQ Isolator Components before getting a crafting class to 50.

And that time I got banned from the beta forums for suggesting that someone commit suicide in protest of Fire II not being named Firaga. Although that was less "worse" and more "still worth it". Holy hell...yeah, that garbage parade was also worse.

Would love to see a quote where people said that the cash shop is the worst thing ever to happen in the history of video games.

Oh, or are you making that up to make the other side sound irrational?

Hmmmm.

I must admit, the amount of venom and anger aimed at this just boggles my mind. To be fair though, such actions are coming from both sides of the debate...

It's almost like someone mentioned FFXI, isn't it?

Are you kidding me? It's awesome. Every single time there's a live letter or some new info, there's tons of complaining, which means tons of lolz. I always look forward to seeing the QQ. Let my cup runneth over.~

So long as we still get the same amount of vanity stuff as we have been in game I don't mind a cash shop.

Then I guess you will mind, undoubtedly a portion of that vanity will be sent off to the cash shop. On the brought side, at least I won't have to forum (x) amount of extreme runs to get my pony...

In fact, if I do get this Odin mount via the cash shop, it would be my very first primal pony! I just hope they do not cross that line...when they break immersion to put non-sense vanity/mounts in the cash shop, i.e like a CAR/PLANE mount, or lightsaber to glamour.

Tbh, the main problem is if SE can truly keep it a "cosmetic item" cash shop, because I know from the countless mmos I've played, a good majority of them start off with that intention and then a few months/year down the road, start throwing in pay to win stuff, so we'll see how this plays out here. Purely cosmetic items in a cash shop isn't too bad, it's just when they decide to throw other things in there for more money.
