The real cool people rock vanilla skins.
In sea of thieves, the noob skins either mean you're a total day one noob, or a fucking superpirate who's flag means death.
That goes for quite a few pvp games.
The best camouflage is noob skin, they'll never know what hit them.
Same for Yasuo skins
I decided to never make an in game purchase for one of the games I play the most. Only once did some random call me a "poor", which made me laugh. One the stupider things I've heard someone say in that game.
I don't care about skins like, at all. And intentionally leave my characters with whatever the defaults are just to show other people how much I don't care.
But definitely in my younger years wanted whatever was the hot thing at the time. I remember at one point it was yo-yos. And the "TalkBack" from Home Alone. And Furby. And Tomagotchi.
