let me just point out the following

no cash shop =

no server transfers
no character name changes
no race changes


those are cash shop items for those who dont realize this

just because people dont like the idea of the abilityt o buy things with cash, doesnt mean it shouldnt happen in some form or another

EVERY MMO hs a cash shop in some form or another, the secret to it is not to not have one, but to do it correctly

cosmetic/vanity items that have 0 effect on gameplay whatsoever are ok for p2p games

just because you dont want to have to spend money on something(especialy something that has no effect on the game itself) does not mean it should not exist

and the people who whine about this probly hate the pre order bonus which cost extra to get too(ive seen several games where people go out of there way to buy 5-6 versionbs of the game from different sources to get every pre order bonus, and then others turn around and complain its not fair)
