There is no harm in purchasing a player for abilities that enhance the enjoyment of the game, provided that the necessary controls for the permissibility of playing computer games are met. However, purchasing players with real money while being ignorant of the player's specifications may lead to (uncertainty/deception), gambling, extravagance, and squandering, and this is not permissible.
