    It’s completely optional. They are about as predatory as gucci bags or other designer shit some people pay way too much for (IMO). You don’t need any of it to be competitive or to continue enjoying the game.

    I just personally don’t have a problem with things that exploit people’s vanity.

      Based, but these are predatory.

      For one, we shouldn’t be lowering our standards so that a business can make more money. Whether you accept it or not, these vanity items do make the game more enjoyable for most players. If more of us had higher standards, we’d get the cosmetics without having to pay for a corporation’s nicer campus or an executive’s 9th property.

      For two, whenever chance is involved it will always intrinsically prey upon those with gambling problems.
