I just know for my part, I won't participate in the cash shop in any way.
And if it visibly becomes an eyesore or an annoyance, I'll reconsider my views on SE.

I've white knighted the game since the days of 1.0.
I defended it against all the cash-or-crash flavor of the month MMOs.
One of my key points was, "You pay your sub, you have access to everything. No extra buying, everything you see in game was legitimately (excepting breaking ToS) earned by that player.."
That point is no longer true.

At this point, it's whatever, because they're only seeking cash shop catchup money from latecomers.
But once glamours of end game raid gear, level boosts, viable weapons, and rare drops start popping up for sale, SE will have lost my faith in this game and one of their staunchest defenders, and I fully intend to exclude anyone I know has purchased from the cash shop at that point from any group I'm putting together.

Forgive me for rambling, and enjoy the last season cash grab.
