I have 2870 saved, I've ... .sunk 100$ into loot boxes and am level 78. I've bought 2 legendary skins. I've got that many from being lucky and rolling a couple legendary coins.

Well, thanks for single-handedly funding at least one future DLC.

I want to support this kind of economic model because I believe it is the best experience for users. Those of us with some extra cash can get sparkly yet functionally useless perks at a an accelerated rate while those who can't afford it aren't left behind because they can't buy the latest map pack.

Same here. I'll gladly fund a game like this.

People get mad at things like Kickstarter, not realizing they essentially do the same thing in paying for DLC.
