I dont know if we can confidently say that about cosmetics since the ease with which things can be patched at a later date, plus the fiscal incentive to add it in later is so hugely confounding that theres not much of a real way to prove it one way or the other. The cosmetics are being developed with the other stuff post launch. They don't want to charge for the new quests, islands, higher gear/weapons/ships etc. because that would punish the players who stick with the base game and would fratcuree the userbase. So they're going to charge for certain cosmetics that have no gameplay benefit. I don't know a better monetization model they can use for this kind of game. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:896156264] in Jim Sterli...
