Then don’t play the game. Cosmetics like that are essentially CoD’s bread and butter, and have been for decades. I don’t disagree that it’s gotten WAY out of hand, but that’s also why I don’t play COD anymore.

I don't think you know what "decades" means.

Didn't have skins except for on the weapons, and you had to earn those. One of the first games ever with selectable perks. It was such a breath of fresh air after years of World War 2 games. World at War afterwards was the first one with zombies though, and it had tanks in the big multi player maps. It was only 17 years ago... video games were amazing. I stopped playing after the first black ops. It is just like any other EA sports franchise.

World at War was the best one, what do you mean?

Though I stopped at WaW, then played Advanced Warfare (which was cool I guess), Infinite (which I actually really liked), and WW2 (which was honestly pretty bad especially by comparison to WaW).

You're asking the average cod player to stop playing? They are unable to. It's the reason why the series is where it is, its playerbase is... not the smartest.
