My take on the Ingame market
I was not excited when I read the news about the Tundra update, im not a fan of micro transactions, even if they are strictly cosmetic in effect. Its not a spesific dislike of the concept, its just that no one ever gets it right.

Well, that apears to be until now.

The items for sale look good and are only cosmetic, which is a good start, but they are also reasonably priced (for now im going to ignore the crazy prices on the comunity market, thats out of the devs control, and the prices will likely lower over the next few days anyway), and if you dont like something you can sell it back. Or if you dont have something that no longer can be obtained, you can now obtain it.

There is no 'crate and key' system, what you want is what you get.

I honestly was worried, truly worried, about the implications of this adition, but... you did it right. No ugly hats that cost $7 each. No crates that must be opend 1000 times for a good chance of getting that one item you want. No game changeing items. Not even diferent grades of the same skin (Mint condition, battle worn, ect). Every pitfall that so many people have failed to avoid has been avoided.
Its even an improvement over the previous DLC system, want that exo armour but dont want to fork out $5 for the whole pack? just buy the exo armour.

I say this to everyone involved, well done, you have given me back some hope in humanity.

Now dont make me regret saying that.

It's worth noting that the new system does not introduce any additional skins for certain types, i.e. Shadow Gorge, Shadow Lerk, Elite Assault Armor. These are finite and for Shadow reinforced backers, so you will rightly see high prices for these skins in the market.
