I know it isn't part of the gameplay and doesn't make a difference in the game. BUT the skins are amazing and I would love to buy them all to support MSE. With some of the prices though I can't. Loaht's subject skin cost a minimum of $30.00 and the same goes for Ginebra's slave unit.
Beside me complaining about my lack of money, I feel it would also be a wise marketing choice. Cheaper cosmetics would make more people buy them, more people buying them means more money for MSE to play around with, more money equals better content for the game its self. Although the game would have to increase it player base for this method to be truly effective.
And while I am talking about cosmetics, what is happening with the status points? I have 10,000+ status points and find the disco drops fun but I run out far to quickly to actually care about them.
