From what I experienced on F2P games, is that when you want to buy something from the cash shop, you'll have to make a deal with someone in-game that has that item. Let's say the average money/gold you make a day is 1k. The normal price as of that time for that cash shop item is 10k. That's 10 days of farming gold, and you'll get it every 10 days compared to someone who's rich who can get it in an instant. That's usually what happens on F2P games. There's a big gap on the money from rich people to people who don't want to spend a dime on the game.
Ideally, that gap should be lower. Like 2-3 hours of farming gold, doing instances and quests would able you to buy that item in the cash shop. That's not bad.
Then again, we'll still have to wait to see what happens.
