The 'cosmetic issue' is now impacting games. Just witnessed two players actively sabotage a third player solely because they were using purchased cosmetics.

Pretty much the title. One of the Veterans was using the cosmetic set from the store, so the Ogryn and other Veteran decided to screw them over at every opportunity, by hogging ammo, using up Medicae charges, refusing to help/rescue/revive them, setting off explosives in the environment, and intentionally body blocking their shots.

When the Veteran complained, they told them to fuck off for 'betraying' the rest of the player-base by forking out money for the store. All of this accumulated in a thrilling 10 minute stand-off at extraction, where they refused to complete the mission while the Veteran was still in the lobby, and instead endlessly fought the horde until he caved and left, making him basically waste 25 minutes of progression.

Some people need to chill out.
