It seems you fail to understand business economics and the fact that these items are completely optional and have no affect on gameplay. The cash shop is there for those that want to spend a little extra, get something they want, and to support a game they enjoy. By no means is it mandatory for you to use it. Not to mention that most things on it are old event items. Cash shops have been in every mmo I've ever played. This isn't some scheme Final Fantasy dev's thought up to screw you over. If you don't like it, don't buy anything. Easy.
