Alright, so we all don't agree with the changes in today's update, nerf on materials, motes, and coins and then the adding of motes/ P2P/P2W.
Think more about this from a business and marketing side: introduce something that generates revenue - put it out there - trial.
This is their "trial phase." Just simply don't buy/contribute to the microtransactions. The lower THEIR quota/goal is, the higher chance it WON'T be a thing.
Edit: Luke has confirmed no P2W via Twitter. Someone made s post about it. Woo!

Or better yet, buy them if you want to and don't if you don't! If you do you'll get cool new emotes and support future free content, and if you don't you won't have to pay any money and can still get 2 emotes for free with the free silver they gave you!
