I just personally don’t have a problem with things that exploit people’s vanity.

Based, but these are predatory.

For one, we shouldn't be lowering our standards so that a business can make more money. Whether you accept it or not, these vanity items do make the game more enjoyable for most players. If more of us had higher standards, we'd get the cosmetics without having to pay for a corporation's nicer campus or an executive's 9th property.

For two, whenever chance is involved it will always intrinsically prey upon those with gambling problems.
