On some level most in-game purchases are arbitrary little things that the company decided to sell, but something about putting the ability to edit your character behind a purchase feels extra sleazy. One of those currencies that just reaches out and whispers "download Cheat Engine" to you.

I wish we could go back to the days of unlocking shit by playing. Want me to waste a ton of time on your game? Give me cool shit to unlock and I'll grind it out. At the very LEAST give the ability to earn a reasonable amount of premium by playing
In fact I was wishing there were some other DLC armors for my character in The Veilguard I could buy a la AC games..
I want to buy shit to dress her up.
Nothing new of course - SWTORO did it also.
But Id say your desire to deny others something that improves a game immensely for so many is pretty fucking lame.
Idk I you are referring to free games or paid games. But with free games, the devs have to make their money somehow. It may not be optimal, but with the state of video game microtransactions I'm willing to tolerate this.
At that price point, the only thing you should be selling is major dlcs.
it's a worst-in-class MTX imo, almost as bad as the co-op system (that's unrelated but WOW it still sucks huh)
