Considering that I've played the game for some 80 hours (most likely nothing compared to the true enthusiasts) thus far without paying a dime, I'm perfectly fine with the Platinum system.

During a sale, with around $15 I can get all the colour schemes and still have Platinum to spare. People pay more than that for games they don't play for half as long.

And even if you only want to try the game for a while, you're not forced to pay for anything gameplay-wise; the free 50 Platinum pays for a couple weapon slots and a new Warframe slot very nicely, after which you've probably played long enough to be fine with paying a little.
