The irony of customization

Guardians of Destiny pointed out a video talking about this very subject by MoreConsole on Youtube that pointed out what Activision has done in the past. While I don't like the idea, it wouldn't ruin the game for me if what he talks about was implemented.

The irony of this sort of customization is that it's expression in the worst possible way, in the sense that you're expressing yourself through consumption rather than creation.

You think that bacon skin makes you unique? There's thousands of other people who have it too. All you have to do is spend $1. Hardly an expression of uniqueness, and is really just its own sort of conformity.
