SPVP could be a better money maker
My guess is that most competitive PvP players would choose to show off their accomplishments via high tier gear, so not many of that already limited player base would use the shop much, so Arena Net just didn’t bother.

simple answer to that possible predicament
make sets that still req skill, dedication etc… to achieve so people can still feel leet and then make sets that can be purchased optionally while still being able to unlock them through ranking up or crafting through mystic forge, then make sets that you can only get in the mists via cash shop.
make each piece of gear cheap something like 30-50 cents per piece
imo i think it would work and i believe there are plenty of people out there willing to spend a little bit to unlock a set they want or just wants to fill in that missing piece to get the full set they are working on.
its easy to get just about any piece of gear (except hats) in team fortress 2 but valve still rakes in truck loads with there cash shop, so that means someone is buying.
