Obviously, paying customers would want to look and feel premium. Plenty of events and rewards provide content that look good.

It's the desire to look different that drives the high volume cosmetic sales. If someone can't afford it, they don't lose out on content but still able to access a full-fledged game.

That's a great thing, not possible without microtransactions.
