Skins have been a status symbol in games for a while. If you're rocking a default skin, you're gonna get called a noob and broke bitch by your teenage and tweenage peers. It's by design.

called a noob

It's very satisfying to show up in a basic default skin and calmly proceed to own everyone else there.

This. I refused to spend money or in game gold on paint jobs for the Warrobots game. Because of that, opponents think you are new or less of a threat ( since you can purchase weapon upgrades, and maybe don't have cash ) They let their guard down and then I would use stategy over brawn and wipe them out. Sadly it is totally pay-to-win now, because some rich kids or adults can spend $1000s and upgrade to a point where they can obliterate anything with one shot
