I somewhat agree with Hissis in this one. It's not about Cash Shop items being overpriced, it's about some cash shop items greatly surpassing some MVP Cards in usefulness, so that, even though they're way more common than these MVP Cards, they are still more expensive. They really should update crappy MVP cards to usefulness.
I whish they released a "-0.2s FCT" lower or some "bypass 10% of monster's MDEF" lower headgear as well... I agree with SeikenDensetsu that, despite lower headgears hystorically being crap, it's about time this mindset was changed.
How is it subjective? They just released a box with a lot of items not working as described. So, either the item is nor working as intended, or the description was shipped wrong. Either way, it's a "deffective" item, and should be fixed. It's a good thing that they were fixed, or "kinda fixed" now, but even so, it can be EXTREMELY misleading, and this kind of mistake can increase some players' will to quit.
Even using the word defective is subjective. kRO asked iRO to introduce a jRO box, it doesn't state that the items themselves had to be the exact same as jRO ones, only that the box contents were the same. Technicalities in the writing and all that.
