Unless there's a multiplayer aspect where it gives an unfair advantage, while it might be a bit unsavory and potentially predatory, I think being able to get those mtx in game "legit" without it being a slog is honestly much less shitty then other MTX I've seen.

I agree. As long as I can get the same items in-game relatively easily, then I'm fine with someone else spending money to make their game more enjoyable. I have more than enough wake stones and port crystals or whatever to make my game enjoyable without having to grind to get them, so I don't care if someone else skips the minor steps I put in for them.

What's wild to me is that you can just use cheat engine if you want to get those things without spending cash. Or install mods. I don't enjoy grinding and that's usually what I do when I want x amount of potions or crafting components.
