are there any mmos that arent dependant on cash shop to do well? get rich...be good in pvp etc..

is eden eternal cash shop fair?

play lineage2, just went free to play.

There are a few fair cash shop games. I mean you don't really have to do the cash shop to get rich in grand fantasia, but it sure does help. but in eden eternal I found i couldnt make any money without doing the cash shop, so i quit.

Rappelz has a cash shop but you don't need it. iv made 2+ billion w/o using it.

best i've found ever is/was eden eternal, spent a total of like $15 in the cs and was max lvl with best gear in the game in a few months

spiral knights is pretty stellar. You can do everything with just the 5.95$ free elevator pass
