Vanity Cash Shop

[Atoli]

Uh, people here really need to differ-.-
A cash shop for cosmetic stuff in a P2P game is fine.
It does not mean playing is no longer possible without buying stuff from there,
it does not mean we only get CS updates instead of real patches.
Read the OP again, he did not say "I wish FFXIV goes free2play with a CS"
Only free2play games rely overly on a CS.

Look at WoW - it's P2P and does not rely on the Cash shop at all (people would rage if that happened) but still, they have stuff like..cool looking mounts you can buy for $60-$200.
It's purely aestethic, nothing you need, but everybody who is stupid enough to buy it "just for the looks" is happy.

So what's wrong with the idea of the OP?
Don't bring you F2P experiences here. Show me just one P2P MMORPG with a CS which made it so you have to rely on the cs plus paying a monthly fee.
I'm sure you won't find one.

Although I like the reward idea too.

Also, I like decorating my character in games more than getting good stats.

Why should I be required to pay more than you? Are you someone special or something? That is not fair.

I rather have cash shop with weapons than cosmetic stuff.

The only people who are for cash shop are those that expect items they don't want to buy in the cash shop anyway. Well guess what, some people like these items and would like access to them with the monthly fee. Just like you would like access to good gears with your monthly fee.
