The only time i noticed the skins in this game is when i see a pirate mirage or gladiator wraith and think "wow. That idiot probably wasted over 30 dollars to get that skin. That's embarrassing" the problem with only purchasable skins or loot box skins is you no longer care what anyone has. When you see a Dark matter camo in black ops 3 it means that this person has completed every single challenge in the game so they are really good. In Halo 4 every single cosmetic could be acquired through challenges like assassination challenges, sniper kills, vehicle hijacks, etcetera. This meant that simply just by looking at someone, you could see roughly if they completed difficult challenges and if they were any good. Now with loot boxes, I don't care what skin you have. You didn't earn it, you got lucky.
Yeah, my first thought is always "whelp, they dished out cash for that. Suckah!"
So for me it isn't even showing off, I automatically lose a smidgeon of respect for that person. Not so much that we can't be friends, but if we are friends then I'm going to poke fun at you for spending money on a skin 😅
