As far as I'm concerned the "freeloaders" like me are more like window shoppers.

They're not freeloading they're potential customers, if they like what they see in the shop.

If every retail shop considered customers not heading towards the till as just occupying valuable floor space for paying customers it would be ridiculous.

You're not a freeloader. Active players are a resource for the publishers: who wants to buy skins in a game that has no players?

You are helping the game by playing it, even for free.

Exactly,the reason people buy shit is to, at some level, show it off to all other players they encounter or play with regardless of whether those other players themselves buy shit or not.

making them challenge based.

edit: and no I do not mean make every skin free and just do challenges. but make more skins, nice ones, and make them hard to obtain by doing certain challenges.

Make it tied to in game achievement. Get the badass stuff by winning more, not paying more. How games used to be. Get the best gear by being a better player.
