First I want to make clear before going over my idea. I bough all Premium passes for all available BF games, and I don't hate Premium as a business model, I understand that developer must make profit. Ok now to the point.
BF2018 is just around the corner, and I had some ideas on how they can make money without selling Premium. That idea was paid skins.Not like we have now where you can buy "Super Rare Edition" battlepacks, I mean skins that can ONLY be purchased with real cash. Dice got very talented artists who made mindblowing skins for BF1.
Right now we have 3 tiers of skins - Common, Distinguished, Legendary. So how about making another tier, call it "Premium" tier skins, put amazing skins in it and sell them for 5 euros each. This way people would have an option to buy that amazing skin that they want and use it right away instead of farming those stupid packs and praying to whatever higher being he believes in so that he can get the skin he wants.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys looking at fancy pixels. Yes a lot of people don't care at all about skins, but considering how much mess there was about lack of visual customization, I think Dice could add some amazing soldier skins and weapons skins for people to buy. And I'm sure there are a alot of people who will be willing to spend their hard earned money to buy them.
Thank you for reading this.

And just because I need a minimum of 10 characters, NO again!
remember when you didn't have to purchase skins because the whole "games as service" wasn't a thing. i'm still up for flat out buying premium and that the whole split the playerbase is just a terrible justification for being stingy. I'm not a fan of the direction games are moving in with a simple black paint job on a gun costing $3.99.
I'd rather they raise the price of the game to about 70 euro, of course with the promise to deliver the same amount of content as we got in previous BF games. No splitting communities, but everyone will be forced to pay the full price, so their income would still remain the same. The price of games has remained pretty much the same the past 15 years, it only makes sense to increase prices.
A large chunk of EA's income already comes from microtransactions. If they jump on it and start selling unique skins, they could probably earn more than they do with DLC's. You'd be surprised how much money people dump in useless skins in Fortnite (hint: it's over $100 million / month!).

Exactly, it's been said so many times, it doesn't go in though.
