As long as cosmetics can also drop as part of playing the game, I don't care if the shop's charging people $25 for a gear set, because I don't need to buy it.

For me the sweet spot would be itemizing those $25 cosmetic sets so you can buy pieces of them at a time for a couple of bucks, even if piecemeal it's a couple bucks more in total. I'm not likely to buy a $25 set but I'll buy those 6 items at $5 a piece every time.

I'm pretty stubborn about lowering the price point to $15, ideally closer to $10, but I'd accept being able to get a piece or two from a set for $6-12. Most of the cosmetics in the game mix and match pretty well anyway.
