I get that some aesthetics, such as Lyon's hairstyle, can be considered a trophy. At the same time, that's what is contending with cash shop. What would a majority of people rather do? Bust their ass for a hairstyle they want? Or just pay 7 buckaroos to get it?

And, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, the cash shop option is going to win, and so it's never going to end because of that.

Having said that, I would like to see more emotes and hairstyles get put in the game as something you can acquire through gameplay. I'd also like the effort I'd have to put in to get them to be reasonable. If I have to start hopping onto discord channels and rousing people to form a party on a specific day, at a specific time, to run a specific piece of content, all because I want a specific aesthetic, then I'd rather just buy it on the cash shop. I can't live in the game, I get limited time to play.
I agree, I think the option to acquire in game should absolutely be there. Right now a lot of exclusive cash shop stuff. Likely tho they would make the good stuff so impossible to get you would, out of frustration, open the coin purse and buy it.
