Ok, so I've mostly defended this game. I've said people have gone overboard on the hate. I honestly love the game. And Bethesda has been one of my favorite developers despite all their games' flaws.
But, I will not defend this. I will be one of the mobs yelling at Bethesda over this. This is my number one rant about GTA V online and I really would hate to see Fallout 76 fall the same way. Because sure, it's just repair kits, you can still repair in game. But how long before guns break easily before you get to the next repair station (to the point you have a hard time keeping up enough materials to fix it unless you spend most your time farming) or finding the materials gets a whole lot harder. This is the kind of MTs I despite in games because they encourage the developer to unbalance the game to be just unfun enough (if they are doing things "right") to encourage people to pay to "fix the balance" (I say just unfun enough cause if they get too blatant people notice and get pissed off or the game is so unfun they don't see why tehy should keep playing at all).
Bethesda is breaking their promise (I know, the haters will say big surprise. And sadly, it's not surprising even if you don't dislike Bethesda, look at every other developer that has done cosmetic only MTs... it seems it never makes enough money sadly and they change their minds).
Edit, here's their announcement about it : https://bethesda.net/en/article/6eQ...0514=1&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Community
