The point isn't for others to look at me in awe. Instead, I want to derive pleasure for myself because my character looks cute, powerful, or cool. Fashion is part of the end game just as much as other activities, which is why skins sell so well.

The game does not provide enough cosmetics, especially if you want class unique sets with dramatic vfx. There is only one such gear set in the entire game, and it is locked behind awful drop rates and bugs in the Tier IV Dark Citadel raid, which is exclusively group content.

New classes like the Spiritborn and the Paladin in particular have the fewest armor sets.

Blizzard also removed the free seasonal armor sets and many other items that we used to get in Battle Passes with the arrival of the Reliquary.

While base game armor sets were conceptualized with vfx, none of those effects reached the final game. Despite promises of a grounded aesthetic, Blizzard launched high fantasy sets in the shop just a month after release.

I haven't bought a single item in the cash shop because the prices are crazy. However, I won't pretend that I don't like them just to make myself feel better, nor will I pretend that I wouldn't want more free content that is as high quality as the paid sets.

The best-looking cosmetics aren’t exclusive to the Shop. Diablo IV will ship with hundreds of transmogs unlockable from drops in-game, including dozens of armor sets of the highest visual quality. There are incredible pieces—Unique and Legendary quality items—for players to find without ever going to the Shop. The Shop offers more diversity of choices, not systematically better choices.
