i'd liked to see this cash shop thing as voluntary to contribution to Outspark's development and as a reward you get what you want to enhance ur gaming experience...
I dont see myself as paying for the service, i'm paying coz i want more dmg on my hammer, look better than my armour, ride faster than a hobby... i dont HAVE to pay anything for this game... i'm merely contributing my spare cash so they can maintain more staff to hopefully improve more...
they can call it beta all they like... just because there's a VOLUNTARY cash shop there doesnt mean they cant hv bugs and issues... we KNOW that there's still a lot to add to this game... it will never be the "full" version for a while... u know the terms and condition and u play with it..
u signed up to be a beta tester too.. our job is to tell them if there's anything wrong with the game as well...

Your keyword is voluntary.
You missed out "coercion."
Low experience rates, low monster counts, very few area's to grind promote the levelling pack.
Experience loss on death, particularily more important for mages, 1% of 12M is 120K. Thats a good 20 minutes of an AOE, or 1 hour of a slow solo. Ding, Ding! Blessing of Teva to the rescue!
Semi-permanent upgrades to "enhance" or should I say "rectify" playing experience promotes the purchase of hp/sp buffs.
I could go on and list a few more prominent aspects about the game that give the subliminal message to buy cash shop items.
Its not quite as "voluntary" as you believe.
