@reconzero I think you are missing the point.
High priced cosmetics are an issue. Should paying for a cosmetic mean 80 dollars? It's obvious that EA or any company are going to push these prices as much as they can to make as much money as possible. Don't forget why this game is out to begin with. It's not out for you to have some fun on your off time, this game is alive and well because it's makes money. So these inflated prices are just going to get worse and worse and the cheap comeback to it all is exactly what you are saying. "Well, you don't have to buy it. They are just asking you. It's not going to make you any better." You're right. I don't have to buy it, they are just asking and it won't make me any better. However, they game is also build around well known algorithms that heavily suggest people to buy cosmetics, and it works. Why do you think the game is free? For *'s and giggles? Do you think that EA, one of the most money hungry gaming institutions out there is just going to give away a game with no plan? This game brings in billions of dollars and there is a reason for it. Do you think everybody is just "choosing" to buying cosmetics? I mean yes they are, but it's heavily influenced. This is why the game is free in the first place. That's why any free game is free in the first place. All I'm saying is great, you have a game that's doing well and you have people that are willing to pay for cosmetics. If you were to cool it down on the prices, I'd buy some too. Furthermore, you should cool it down on the cosmetics because you're really starting to show the true colours when you ramp up cosmetics prices in leu of things players are actually asking for.
