This is unacceptable. I don't mind(I actually prefer) if there are ways to upgrade/sidegrade players ability to fight based on progression, but making it paid or timed exclusive content and not available to the average player is very much... bad...
For those who don't know what i'm talking about(I just found out about it today) there are exactly 3 pistols in the game with iron sights. ALL of them are exclusive content that you can't get by playing the game. The "Ebon flintlock Pistol", "Ferryman Pistol", and "Mercenary Pistol".
As everyone knows the in-game pistols don't have sights. You have to estimate the center of the pistol in order to hit your target(not a hard thing to do, but it is obviously less accurate than a proper sight).
Here is the standard sight we all know.
and here are the mercenary and ferryman pistols(ebon is same as mercenary)
Rare pretends that everyone is on the same playing field(which obviously isn't true, or xbox players wouldn't have to fight PC players) and that's why they won't add character progression in the form of equipment/mods. I would personally would prefer being able to buy mods and different weapons/equipment to give me some sort of use for my now useless gold. However, if they are gonna allow things like iron sights they MUST be consistent and let everyone get them.
