I want an official response.

Well, since you aren't required to buy them to play I'd say they are in fact optional. I think those who feel the absolute need to purchase things from the cash shop are in the very extreme minority and also maybe need to think about their habits and choices in real life.

You aren't "required' to buy anything, technically. Whether they are optional or not is entirely subjective and dependent upon the person and what aspects of the game they enjoy.

Minions are content?

Yes, they are. Everything that exists within the game is content.

No. They are optional, no matter what way you people try to spin it. Optional is optional. Minions are not required to play the game. At all, and no. They are not content.

Before you try to attack me for being supportive of the cash shop, look me up on the lodestone, you'll see I have none of the minions nor the mount. I guess I must be gated out of something in the game too, right? Oh wait...

OK then. If they're optional, how about we take glamour away and put that in the cash shop? I mean, it's optional after all. Dyes? Optional. Unique armor models? Optional. Hairstyles? Optional. Coil? Optional. Extreme modes? Optional.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

You do know that this doesn't invalidate anything I said, right?

[SDaemon]

The absurdity of the logic your using does. Simply going from your OP anything and everything someone can possibly feel compelled to have, do, see or want falls under the realm of "mandatory" and "not optional".

when a few metallic dyes are available in the game already, they should not have put the others in the cash shop- that doesn't really sit well with me

I am against a cash-shop but if people want to pay thirty dollars for a slightly different skin on a mount, whatever, but for some reason adding dyes, just really bothers me lol

[Ahmbor]

Playing the game? Optional.

Exactly.
You are forced to buy a license to play the game and the content. FORCE TO PAY FOR CONTENT!!! EVERY... MONTH!!!

Why not piratebay?

No. Coils and EX primals are progression CONTENT, not fluff that makes no difference to your game if you have it or not. Apples to Oranges, my friend.
