It is funny, though. SE can't win if they put new, unseen in game things in the cash shop because people gripe. And they can't put old things in the cash shop. Even old things that nobody wants to buy anyway.
They can win if if they put neither, get rid of the cash shop, and do what they did before and let everyone buy the items from past years from an in-game vendor during the events. Everyone will be happy, guaranteed.
