If free-to-play games respect their users, microtransactions tend to be about cosmetics, but there are lots of them who sell you everything else.

I think gacha games tend to be the worst offenders. Do you want to play an ARPG with a given character? The only way to do it is to unlock the character by winning it in a lottery! Buy some tickets, see if you get the character you want to play. Most likely you get a shitty character instead but don't worry, you can keep buying tickets.

Browser games tend to be very lame in this regard. They have lots of timed events you have to beat in order to win prizes. They deliberatedly make it so you won't have time enough to beat the event playing normally. You need to buy bonuses so you have a chance at beating the event and unlocking that awesome prize horse.
