I had my friend read some of this stuff, and he looked at me and said this mindset depends on where you live, and who you grew up with. (well he said only white people would say something that silly..but don't want to derail into that.) When he goes out, he buys new outfits and that is the normal being a young black man, and that was acceptable with his crew. Even being a white guy myself, they gave me hell on my looks at times. I mean this is kinda going off topic, but my point being with all this is that...I thought this was normal until I was reading some of the comments. I am shocked, and more amazed that people did not understand why how other people see us would matter to players, and also from a business side. Cash shop items and all that depends on it as well.


I try to be a open mind and understand perspectives..even if this mindset feels alien to me.
If I were in a group that expected me to buy new outfits every time I go out just to continue fitting in I would leave that group. If their only acceptance of you is your appearance then they are a very shallow bunch. I would prefer a group that would accept me for my personality and shared interests. I don't have time for superficial people in my life.

As for cash shop items: It may just be me, but I buy them solely for me and my entertainment.
