    Pay 2 win and excessive abuse of FOMO.

    E.g. for the next two weeks you can purchase/grind for [character] with a LIMITED EDITION green hat!

    It would be OK if such thing was behind an achievement and allowed to be gained later.

    Some companies have gotten a little sneaky with it, like Microsoft with age of empires. They make their newly released DLC civs overpowered for two months then nerf it every time.
