This game already has a massive cash shop though. You can level boost, story skip, race change, home world change, buy NPC outfits as cosmetics, buy other cosmetics, wedding services, mounts and minions. The only difference is that the cash shop isn't built into the game client like it is for World of Warcraft and just about every other modern MMO and assorted online games. That's literally it. Yoshi-P isn't protecting us from anything but rather holding up this illusion that FFXIV isn't the soulless cash cow of Square Enix. Well, I hate to break it to you, it's the soulless cash cow of SE and once you look beyond that, Yoshi-P is kind of clueless when it comes to certain key areas of game design like class design. There's a solid case for replacing him already.
