At this point in the game industry, we should expect in-game purchases to be shoe-horned into almost every game (see Destiny's Silver and Halo 5: Guardians REQ Packs as examples).
According to previous statements from The Division developers the microtransactions will likely be aesthetic items or bag slots, as they are looking to be as 'fair' as possible.
"So what we're looking at is we don't want to have pay-to-win, but we are definitely looking at things where you can gain time or comfort. Bag slots would be a thing that if you really want to have everything in your bag all of the equipment at all times. Maybe it's not practical, but it doesn't really give you an advantage over other gamers. Some things require time in the game and some people don't want to invest time; they want the shortcut. So we're looking at those types of trades."
