I never said you can't have Community armor unlocks, and I can't think of a single game that I've played out there that has actively removed quest rewards From the game when they added the microtransaction system. The only thing I've seen is an increase in items available on the game via the micro transaction system.

Then again I haven't really played the monster hunter games either, I never found them appealing

You're not getting that the microtransaction system replaced free unlocks in most devlopments.

Fighting games used to let you unlock costumes through gameplay. Dozens of them per character.

Now you buy sets of 5 for $12.
