It ultimately begs the question: should the cash shop have just remained a 'beauty parlor' of sorts offering accessories to customize the look of your character instead of actually gaining features and items that seriously affect gameplay. Their whole '90 day' expiration thing for clothes worked for years. Pets worked for years and didn't give a huge disadvantage other than convenience.
The answer Nexon obviously came to was that they could make more money more quickly offering benefits through lottery and high-end NX items. What they're seeing now is that it has negatively affected the game and thus their failure to look a few years down the road may have cost them everything.
