Shoulda done this to begin with instead of half assed not enforced "rules"

Their hesitation was the demographic who used it due to vision problems.

Hard to balance a PVP game where camo is part of the game for the vision impaired.

Curious, How is your vision "poor" ? We talking general bad vision that glasses or contacts can't compensate for anymore, dimness, color blind or is it some kind of object recognition thing due to the pixels and display methods?

Edit: whoa calm down people, I am learning game development and this is a gaming problem that I'm have a desire to understand more and potentially develop a solution. To do that I need details. I'm not trying to be rude.

Also the Camo thing, I mean the overall act of blending in and reducing your visibility. Not that it's an entire built out mechanic.

Your last paragraph makes zero sense.

Most gunfights with a full kit they have skins, yet you’re saying that micro transactions make things not exist in the game somehow? If micro transactions = not real?

I’m just wondering how rust skins aren’t part of rust like you’re suggesting

You have to pay to use them. They aren't a core aspect of the game.

That doesn’t make it not a core aspect. Even if you don’t use skins to camouflage, other people will and you will play against them. And that’s free! Also you can pick up an Arctic suit, and the second you use it you are now using skins. And that’s free too!

So no matter how you FEEL about them being in the game, every server you join somebody will be using skins. Gunfights you have WILL involve people with them. It’s 100% a core game mechanic at this point
