My opinion is that you shouldn't be able to buy anything non-trivial (things that affect gameplay) that you can't get through in-game effort. I've always liked the idea that while there is a certain economic barrier to entry into online gaming, once you get there a person with less real-world money who is an awesome player should never be blocked from getting certain gear or features just because they don't have any budget to buy more stuff online. Chromehounds is an interesting example, you can buy certain weapons online that have become essential in multiplayer games... and <strong>you can't get them any other way</strong>.
