I am doing some research for an assignment around micro transactions and their effect on online games. I was wondering what people in the gaming community think about them? Personally I don’t mind cosmetic upgrades, but I dislike purchases that offer in-game advantages. Since the main use of micro transactions is to increase revenue for a particular game, I don’t see them going away anytime soon so is there a better type of micro transaction that could be implemented? Any thoughts or opinions are greatly appreciated!

I don't normally mind them as long as they are for cosmetic stuff only, the game doesn't constantly force them in your face and you can still get stuff without paying just slower.
