While a fair point, this topic isn't about the cash shop itself or anyone's opinion of it. It's about the only realistic way to request items from previous events that are no longer obtainable, which has been proven as the case with the Minifilia minion and the old Moonfire items. Again, this is about the items, not in any way about the cash shop or your opinion in it.
