Higherups on Graal seem to think cash shops are only successful when they bring pay2win elements, which is incorrect. Several other online games sell 0 items that affects gameplay, and are just cool skins of already existing stuff. Vanity items is the way to go. Outfits, hats, weapon skins etc.

See Team Fortress 2, by far the most successful free to play game right now, or so I'd say at least.

Well, can't say anything about it. Didn't like the original DotA, so I haven't played DotA 2 yet.

Cant you just buy skins and champions with money? Stuff effecting the gameplay are only purchaseable with EP which you can only gain from games you win/lose. Not possible to gain them with money.

Buying champions is pretty ****ing game breaking when they're not available to everyone. You can also buy items that increase how fast you level up, so you can reach that holy level 12 and have flash, while those in the same game and lower can't use it.
