I would bet that while there are many who make the game toxic by purchasing items in these games to "flex" there are just as many like myself who just enjoy a casual experience and making the most of their entertainment time. If I can simply spend 5% of a month's income to purchase items which would be unattainable and increase my happiness while playing I find than satisfying for my personal experience.
I used to think like this as well. Speaking from experience and having invested over $1000 invested in PlanetSide 2, I would suggest to you that buying in-game items for real money only provides temporary satiety over your pixel lust. It's really just a hollow substitute for actual gameplay, which is WHY you're lusting in the first place.
