To people who buy cosmetics or the premium rift.

I bought a pass for the first time all because of one outfit - that red plaid legion outfit. A lot of my friends kept saying it looks just like me. I made sure to make it to tier 70 first because I found out you could make all the auric cells back. Then for tome 4 I "bought" the pass again and got all my cells back. Don't think I'll be able to with this rift because the game stopped working for me a few updates ago

I can kinda agree.

This recent one I only want the Legion skin which is ironically on the free track so I'm not buying it this time.

That and the epic amount of troll survivors in low ranks now makes me not want to play anymore. :<

I have only purchased cosmetics with shards. I bought the original rift and earned the auric cells back. This last one i didn't get to 70 so i am only sitting on 950 auric cells :(

Devs are just fixing small issues and bringing new cosmetics rather than fixing some major bugs or unbalanced things in the game. Also community legion cosmetic's idea was its mask. But even the hoodie looks awful after we look at the trailer of it.

Tbh I've bought quite a few skins, Im a sucker for aesthetics and I acknowledge that. That being said I'd only get the premium rift if it was the only way to get the elephant skin for the clown, I'm kinda bummed about missing out on that

Because I'm a whale, both size-wise and money-wise. I don't mind throwing money at games I like. When I stop liking them I stop throwing money at them.

I spent into the 10s of thousands on marvel heroes. (I am a huge x-men nerd so I had to have every x-men character and costume they had. It got expensive). I spent a good several thousand on Smite. I have every skin from every chest in smite for the first 3 years. I stopped playing not too long after overwatch came out so I stopped collecting. Oh yeah I have almost every unlock for every character in overwatch too - I would buy packs of loot boxes to make sure I had all the new fancy skins.

I think I've spent maybe 300 so far on this game, not including game+dlcs. I got a bunch of david skins because David. Plus I needed half naked david to drool over. I got the clown blight skin, I got the rift and paid to unlock everything instantly, that was a good chunk right there. If I'm being REALLY honest, I haven't spent more in this game because i haven't had skins I've really wanted. Bring me a half naked Ace and we might talk.

Oh and if they ever add any characters from any of the original nightmare on elm streets, those will be day 1 purchases, I don't care if it's freakin dwight as Will from nightmare on elm street 3 screaming "I am the wizard master!", I will own all of them.

(Side note - do not do what I did. I was a DINK, both of us made exceptional amounts of money and I had lots to spend. Only spend what you can afford!!!!)

I buy an outfit here and there -- as in every month or two. At 500+ hours and counting while still having a ton of fun as the main game I play, I don't see why not support the developers and buy some cosmetics to look cool.

I liked the Rifts up until now and I had more time to play.

I'm very selective with my store-bought outfits. They have to be really good or on sale (like 500 cells or below) for me to buy them. I'm not blindly spending $10 for every outfit I see.

I think I've spent maybe $70 in total (which I now think was probably a mistake).

Why is this even a thread?

To the people making fun of us who like to buy cosmetics and/or the rift: please provide us with your banking statements for the past 6 months. I want to make sure you're not spending money on anything frivolous whatsoever.

I'm a cosmetics ho. Have been since hats in Ragnarok Online. I like pretty and/or cool things.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've always actually liked the progression and especially challenges (archives in DBD) part of the "Battle Pass" model. And I usually either complete them or get pretty close.

And for cosmetics... I just like playing dress-up in games, think I'll blame Team Fortress 2 for that one 😄. But at the same time I'm pretty picky, so I haven't actually purchased a lot of outfits at all. But if something makes me go "Ooh, that's cool" I'll probably get it.

All the rifts. Never spent a dime on any skin because I just want the p3 skins.

But I do because I genuinely enjoy the game and want to support the devs. I figure the hundreds of hours I've spent in game thus far kinda balances out the $40 I've spent on rifts pretty well.

It's not about seeing, its about knowing

Yeah there is, it happens to me lol. And ive complimented killer cosmetics before too but its benefits me

Ive only bought one rift and it has paid for every other rift ive completed prob 4 or 5 in total so say 5 rifts 10$

Probably £20 to £25.

I wanted robotnik david. Also, I literally play every day and have tons of fun. Giving BHVR an extra $10 for the pass was a nice way to have more goals and support the game.

I've only ever bought cosmetics during sales. Same logic though. I play a lot, I can kick in a few bucks to keep the lights on.

To look cool / cute, considering the mileage I've gotten out of this game I'm willing to spend some money on it now and again. For rift I typically wait until I know I can reach tier 70 and get my money back, though admittedly I'm not that interested by the end of this current one and can't play as much anyway so might buy it a bit early.

With skins I only buy specific pieces unless there is a deal on auric cells price and I really want it, which has only happened once (Shirtless David). My favourite I have bought is Jeff's scarlet swarm manbun, I never use any of his other headpieces now! If I can earn a cosmetic for shards I will, rather than spending premium currency.

you know if you buy 1 rift pass and always complete them that you get all your auric cells back? do you only need to pay 10 bucks once to get all the cosmetics they come out with in the rift forever pretty much. That seems pretty damn fair to me. If you don't play it enough to finish the rifts, then maybe it isn't worth it to you if you don't care for cosmetics. I think it's fun to switch it up every once in a while and would never buy the cosmetics in the store. Those I could see as complete rip off. The rift pass system is extremely fair though, and I don't get complaining about it. I wish they also had rank rewards at the end of the month with more extreme rank resets so you had to earn them.

Because I actually like the game, I've already spent aroun $200 on the game, despite it's current state, I really love the game and I'm willing to spend money on it

For me, I've only bought skins for Cheryl, Claudette (might have misspelled her name) and Felix.

I thought she looked adorable in her nurse outfit and couldn't resist purchasing it :). (Same goes for her police officer look)

Claudette had a skin with a stylish hair piece and I knew she'd look cute in it~

As for Felix...I have a thing for mustaches and his skin with the jeans and jacket made him an 100 in my book 💞... Couldn't resist that purchase either, haha.

I have probably spent over $25 or $30.

Not very proud of spending my money that way and some part of me does regret getting those skins, but like someone mentioned on here, they bring some sort joy to my dumbass when I play :')

Usually for killers I buy because I think they look cool, and for survivors I usually only buy to make their clothes darker/harder to see
