I have no issue with a subscription. A constant and steady influx of monies will hopefully keep the developers making new content. What I do have an issue with is a cash shop within a subscription game. Cash shops belong in pay to win scenarios, and their use is generaly enforced through the sheer immpractibility of acquiring cash shop items through in-game means, if they aren't exclusive to the cash shop. A subscription is an understandable thing. So is a cash sop, despicable as they are. However, a fairly expensive subscription based game coupled with a cash shop reeks of greed and exploition of fan's loyalty. Not that I was going to play the game anyways.

TL;DR subscription+cash shop = ew
