It may not effect the gameplay, correct, however you do want to look cool while playing a game, right? Most games improve the cosmetics as you gain items through commitment, sometimes through a login bonus (Like the tix, and a solution to botting would be simply making a bot that checks IP addressing, may not be the best way if the botter uses sophisticated gear but still, it would remove low-key botting by your average joe.)
In removing the ability to, without paying, look cool, you are immediately putting people off playing, everybody wants to look unique or to wear their favourite game characters clothing. The tix feature, while imperfect, allowed the average person to at least look appealing to themselves. |
