You can have your grievances towards the existence of said cash shop, but it doesn't take away the fact that that's what keeps funding this game, so we have to take it or leave it.
While some people will not say no to free stuff there is absolutely no reason in my mind why I would do this collab in game, I hate the gear. So it is what it is.
