Its great you started following the game in the last 24 hours Diemess and are hoping on the bandwagon of reddit posters complaining to complain. But he's said that airdrops will be events and that will contain shit that people will want in it. Cosmetics are not something people would gather towards and fight over. That was said 8 months ago. Smed did a few streams talking about airdrops as KCXIV has pointed out, and mentioned military supplies could be found in them. And as KCXIV has said their verbiage needs to be clear that you'll never be able to purchase things direct into your inventory. But you can buy the server as a whole a chance at shit. You just get a slight upper hand at being close to the flare.
I know some folks hated airdrops in rust and wouldnt play on a server that had them enabled. Im sure as things progress there will be servers with a ruleset similar.
Air drops are not very pay to win either because once they happen they are going to be a huge draw for anybody in the area including unfriendlies to come and fight over what is in them. Its not like you buy one and it goes to your inventory you buy one the drop starts up and it gets all hunger games quickly.
One thing I would say is currently the air drops seem a bit fast. I think if they had a 5 minute warning or so it would be about right and a bit more randomized on distance from the summoner. That is all stuff that gets tweaked in alpha/beta.
