While I don't feel micro transactions for cosmetic items hurt the game any... I can't help but feel that if there were no microtransactions then these cosmetic items are items that everyone would be getting. Its like making a complete game then stepping back and saying "Now what can I cut out and sell to the playerbase for extra profit?" Kinda shady. Instead of selling cosmetic items for profit whether they be shaders or emotes they should be rewarding these to loyal players who stay with the game. :shrug:
