Like people haven't learned yet.
UBI/Bungie et-al all have in the past have either throttled XP gains to get people to pay for stuff (cosmetics especially) or just blatantly made things drawn out so people get pssd and end up paying/buying the stuff.
Saying that not just Ubi/Bungie it's most Publishers/developers.
PS: Hmm one of those new outfits looks a bit like the Rogue agent gear.
