They will continue to expand the cash shop and push the limits of customers because it is very profitable. They've been doing it already, slowly, to ensure people come to accept it as the standard and don't notice it as much. They've also announced less content per patch alongside more cash shop content being released.

I like this game, but it's pretty clear the direction things are going in.

Yes, it affects my gameplay. How? Because I like to work towards things I want in the game, not open my wallet and get them instantly.
