Just cancel your sub so they are more willing to remove it. If they have a few hundred people cancel subs within a few days, they will be rethinking this item shop revamp.

The amount of whining, QQ, and overall angry bitterness reminds me so much of last year with Shadows of Vanaheim.
People were crying then and threatening to cancel subs, yet amazingly enough those same people are STILL here and in THIS thread, once again crying, moaning, and being angsty.
I guarantee this will be exactly like last year. I bet a good half of the people in this thread are complaining, and buying up those boxes like hotcakes. Just like last year.
Point in check? Need I remind you of last year with an entire guild screenshotting their "protest" with over half of them wearing the shadow of vanaheim helm????
T3 Gear is and has been obsolete for years, and for everyone crying about this being sold in the item store killing t3, I hate to tell you all this.. T3 was killed when the world boss came out with dropping rare relics, t3esque weapons/accessories, and t3 relics.
Honestly. You cant even use t3 gear to go into t4 on most classes because of the lack of critigation.
That is exactly what everyone is talking about. Get a legendary drop, and you walk out and buy a T4/T5 gear piece.
Their reasoning is that those first 8 years, you got rewards from the old system. Monthly Bonus points, Vet points, etc. All that you previously accrued remains after the system changes.
We all know they neglected that system, but it is what it is now.
Ignoring anything to do with the Item Shop, the new subscription system is fair starting everyone off on equal footing in terms of Subscription Time Rewards.
Remove the Royal Treasure Chest. Also remove the full set of PvP tier 2 gear. Because this is something you'd have to work A LOT in game for getting. T3 gear is dated and has a limited usefulness, don't really care much for that.

only reason some of us stayed after vanafail like I already pointed out was because after that fail fiasco, they rushed and delivered t6,if it wasnt t6 alot of us would have quit back then.....And alot of us still havent bought vanafail
but this time unless they remove all pve gear and t2 pvp gear from shop screw it....
Not really seeing any reason to be premium here if you are a vet as many have stated. Doesn't this change impact the vets more? Aren't they the customers you should be seeking to retain?
And for new players a few one off purchases and they are set ... also little reason to be premium.
Perhaps you could explain the incentives for vets to be premium? Or reconsider them?
For those regular purchases I always made for cit and dps pots, well I can't afford them anymore for the number of hours I play ( a lot). But then so many others will also not be able to afford them so competitive advantage if you are wealthy. Used to be 90 pts for 2 x refined pots for 4 hours. Now would be 400 pts for 4 hours. Yes stats lightly improved but as has been mentioned, please give me the option of the old status pots at the old price. If you are planning on giving these away in future then why raise the price?
And if you are going to offer items free and have daily login benefits then please make something time related also as there is a big difference between a player who logs on daily to collect the daily bonus and a player who logs on daily and PLAYS.!
Oh noes, this is why we have squares in the item shop now as well :( They outsourced the shop to microsaft ...
@Hot-Ice:
I actually find this problematic and uncomfortable too. I do not want anyone actively tracking and analyzing how often and how long i am logging in. I know there is a tradeoff, but it is a huge difference in logging and looking at it when necessary or logging and actively using the data via algorithms or real people. One way to realize this though could be a daily quest aquired on login with a timer...automated and no active surveillance needed.
