Like I'm thrilled to get 'it's cosmetic! just don't buy it!' for the zillionth time.
The problem is the business model. Serious discussion requires addressing the business model. The same business model, with lower prices, is the same business model. The same business model, with fewer stats attached, is the same business model. The same business model, without added gambling, is the same business model.
Fines for using the business model will not fix the business model. Even defining misuses worth fining is an immediate error, because the problem is the business model, itself.
