LOL!
And it is much worse than you are making it out to be Carlo. Plain and simple it is pay to win and that is unacceptable. Per Kotaku's review:
If somebody gave me the game for free I would immediately trade it in for something else. The game needs to be boycotted.And yet, all of this is irreparably crippled by the game’s progression system. As players level up, they will earn loot crates containing “star cards.” These cards do anything from granting new gadgets, buffing attributes such as health, or augmenting abilities with new effects. These are meant to offer a wide range of customization but they instead upset an already precarious balance. Maybe those sniper shots would have killed my enemy if not for their level three health boost. While these crates can be purchased with in-game credits, they can also be purchased with a premium currency that costs real money. Cards earned through these crates can be equipped immediately and while superior play might allow you to best opponents with higher level cards, there’s nothing stopping a player from buying $100 worth of currency, buying loot crates, and boosting their statistical advantage.
The AMA happened. This comment goes through and links to various replies by the DICE team, because most of them were downvoted so much that they are not visible.

I think a lot of them would be downvoted because bandwagon.
The important thing is that the bandwagon exists, and the poor developers are being trotted out to explain away the publisher’s demands.
The Executive Producer answered six questions before quitting.
Ah well, since I've been shamed into not getting the game, my Christmas has been ruined.
Get what you want, its your money.
A lesson you might take to my garage thread.
