Said who? Once a game adds a cash shop it wont stop at just a few vanity or minions.

The quotes are from Yoshida himself, for what it's worth.

To be fair, after his previous quotes not being upheld, I would take any of his "promises" with a grain of salt.

I dont believe a word he says, he lied back in 1.0 about not breaking 1.0 to make 2.0, housing is another example. He said one thing but totally did a flip flop.

Scroll down and look for the prices and tell me prices haven't come down. If you haven't saved up gil in anticipation for housing for the past ten, plus, months, then that's your fault.

Also no idea where you got he said he'd never change 1.0. He came into the game in December 2010 and after a year of attempting to salvage it, it was decided it redo the whole thing based on:
"However, outdated and cumbersome programming choices in the game code prevented the more radical changes necessary to improve the game." taken from the Wiki on A Realm Reborn.

Or instead of passing info through twitch they can post an official announcement of everything they have going into the store at this point. It should be first and expansion new should be second. Next alot of people have lived through decade of misinfo from the company. Last time I checked Yoshi is an employ and not an owner. He doesn't get to decide when the servers get shut down.

Its a successful game, it didn't resort to Pay2Win whenever the monthly sub was removed during 1.0, and XI has gone how many years without going free to play or Pay2Win? Yoshi is basically top chain of command when it comes to ARR and well respected in the company, so if his game was doing badly, I could see the company forcing him, but that's not the case. These are the kind of facts I'm talking about.

Too bad there is still more of that code, and bad choices, still in the game, or new bad code, and new bad choices, added to the game. Even so, 2.0 is a much better version overall.

....Nope, nothing spectacular. Oh boy, a level boost is the most OP thing there. You could have fun and level a job yourself or pay to have it done instantly for you. Honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with ffxiv doing that. Nothings worse than getting RL friends interested in playing the game only to be stuck running low level dungeons with them... I'd pay to boost them to 50!

OP gear? Nope. 98% vanity, 2% long been dying king of the mmorpg universe offering diehard fans instant max level satisfaction on whatever new server they want to play on. (They already will give returning players lvl90 status, so why not pay to have all your characters you never finished promoted too? Oh boy! lvl 90! With .... lvl40 equipment!)
