When I played Trickster a few years back, cash shop equips were somewhat mediocre. They were better than the average stuff you could really easily obtain in-game, but boss sets (with set effects) were SIGNIFICANTLY better than anything else. The problem, to me, was getting them... The drop rate of getting the boss set items from a boss was probably the equivalent to, say, finding a Dark Angelic Blessing Recipe from Zakum. I'd spend all day, every day, bossing for weeks at a time and never got a damn thing. (Most bosses were repeatable every 30~45 minutes.)
I never really saw the game as super cash heavy, unless you were into collecting sets. Actually, I loved Trickster's cash shop system compared to Nexon's :\ They released a new box set or gacha set every other week it seemed, only available for a few weeks, and you paid up to $5 per box for a random cash item... But you were at least guaranteed to get an item from the set... the only problem was you may've ended up with 10 hats before you got every piece of the set.
But content was slow, indeed. I think I played it for two whole years and I can only thing of one or two significant "new content" updates during that time... and they were basically just revamps of old areas.
