The first one did a really good job of having an interesting range of guns and abilities which were very well balanced. There was no 'best gear'. I'm sure they're able to have things worth buying that don't give you an unfair advantage over people who haven't. It's a morally hazardous area though.

It is that slippery slope that I am not ok with. For example I am not exactly ok with other games gives XP boost or weapons, materials, etc in a season pass.
