Cash Shop

EME announced Premium Services and Novelty Items that would now be available for purchase.  I have mixed feelings about this.

While I agree there should be a fee for server transfers (guessing will be added after this month) and name changes.  I think things that modify your character cosmetically should not be cash based.  I do not want this to turn into a f2p cash shop driven mmo.  

I feel that if you paid for the game up front and are now paying a subscription there should be very minimal rl cash cost outside of that.  

The items currently available in the cash shop do not really make it a cash shop yet.  There is basically race/gender/appearance/name changes and a set of weapon skins.  I would consider the weapon skins a bit on the expensive side for not being account based.   

On the upside none of the items are game changing which make them strictly superfluous and as long as they stay that way I'm happy.
