Right, just like unlocking the Krypt in MKX. I'm sure it will happen, which to me, nullifies the whole point of the gear, and putting ANY emphasis on gear.
I'm actually counting on it because fuck grinding. I want to play the fucking fighting game, not WoW.
However, I'm worried they're going to go with a more complex method of sale, like selling you pieces of gear in $5 packs, or one by one for $1. Hell, or like $20 to deck out one character with full gear. That would fucking blow.
Watch them develop some kind of trade market for gear and then limit how much you can hold.
