Voting with my wallet

The amount of money Square Enix is going to make from the cash shop is going to astronomically crush any amount of loss from people upset about the matter and unsubscribing. You'll have one less game to enjoy that's it.

This is why it is pointless to argue - because as much as I dislike the cash shop, the market has proven this will happen. It's why we all know where the cash shop will lead, because the market has shown what people will pay for and SE will provide what people will buy. It's the reason that promises make no difference - money is all that matters, and all you have to do is look around at other games to see where the market will take this game.

OTOH, once the game is F2P, I will probably come back!

OTOH, once the game is F2P, I will probably come back!

So once the game "goes free to play", a game model where they generally do employ "pay to win" purchases, you will come back? Because buying vanity items was so upsetting?

As Abriael stated before, your augments are becoming more and more desperate, grasping for straws where there are none to make claims that make zero sense.

If you're leaving, good riddance. This game doesn't need subscribers that are so fickle and upset over such pointless things.

An optional cash shop won't tank the game, it will only provide more revenue for the developers to add even cooler content to the game. The 3.0 presentation has already blown my mind as to what they are capable of doing with this game, I don't mind tossing them a few bucks here and there for cool items (I have been doing this since FFXI) especially knowing it will fund even more innovative ideas.

WoW implemented their cash shop a very long time ago, and they are still to this day at the top of the MMO food chain. You all need to chill the hell out with your doomsday prophecies.
