Regarding the update on the issue:

The Commodore’s Vestures

In patch 1.0.14, we removed the timer from The Commodore’s Vestures, where players could purchase premium cosmetics via Aquila packs. Our plan for the shop is to give players more time between rotation periods until we reach three screens worth of cosmetic bundles. The timer will remain inactive until the first page is due to be rotated out with 24 hours remaining. It’s important to note that the store is on rotation to give players some variety while at the same time not creating clutter. We feel that unlimited store pages are likely to create confusion and a bad user experience. Rest assured, the cosmetics are not gone forever and will likely reappear.

This is sad to read.

So FS still uses the timer as a deceiving design pattern. It puts pressure on the customers and they do not get to see the whole shop.

This is not permitted as of the General Data Protection Regulation, which is in effect for the European Union.
I would welcome it, if we could get info about this topic why FS ignores laws in the EU (and as far as I know similar laws of other countries)?
It is prohibited as in:

Dark patterns are interfaces and user experiences that cause users to make unintended, unwilling and potentially harmful decisions regarding the processing of their personal data. This influences users’ behaviour and ability to effectively protect their personal data.

Especially because the community also wants such timers gone.
(Additionally they are not needed! Real money prices, sales and e.g. feature pages would have the same effect without circumventing the law.)
