Make crafting metals more earnable

In Apex Legends there is 3 ways of getting crafting metals 1. getting from packs 2. getting from leveling up in premium battle pass 3. leveling up in trasure missons(quests). If you reach level 500 you wont be able to get packs from levels anymore so getting packs each seazon is very limited, with premium battle pass you get 1200 crafting metals and 13 regular packs and 1 legendary and 1 purple pack so that ecuals to get 1 legendary skin from shards and 1 guarateed legendary from legendary pack so thats 2 legendary skin guaranteed from battle pass and other is if you get lucky you can get legendary skin or bunch of crafting metals form packs. In trasure misions you can get 10 packs and about 200 crafting metals so that basicaly means each seazon you get 1400 crafting metals 23 regular packs 1 legendary pack and 1 purple pack and that means you can buy 1 legendary with crafting metals, get 1 legendary from legendary pack over a 3 month period!! My opinion is to add a feature to disanchant skins into a crafting metals so if you dont get a skin you like you can disanchant it into crafting metals and you get crafting metals based on skin rarity.  example: legendary skin=120 crafting metals, purple=40c.m. , blue=6c.m. , and comon=3c.m. And you can disanchant item once a week so the feature wont be overused. This would give players opertunity to get more crafting metals. Reply to this topic and let me know if this feature will have a chance to be in the game.

    @Fita_Jager420I’ve been level 500 for awhile so I barely have anything for loba, rampart, and horizon not even quips or banner frames and that type of stuff so I do agree we need some other way to obtain crafting metals

    Since xp is basically useless once you finish the battlepass maybe dailys/weekly quests could give a small amount of crafting metals like every star would be worth 5 crafting metals or something, its not ideal and would take along time to earn anything legendary but its better than nothing or you could redeem some stars for an  apex pack

    as an example I have 2 quips for horizon and both of them I had to purchase with crafting metals

    @Fita_Jager420 I had a few ideas last year when working on an idea for a season where you could earn more crafting metals while in game.

    One had to do with a location- "The Dragons lair: a trial arena somewhat like bloodhounds trials but with hostile flyers. The arena is modeled in an open aired rock walled fashion piles of apex coins and crafting metals strewn about (purely for decaration) but in addition to high tier loot squads can earn additional crafting metals for completing each wave. Maybe there can be the same small chance for one player to get heirloom shards to increase the communities chances of earning them but that would probably be a bit too much."

    And another had to do with more content to do throughout the season to earn additional cosmetic loot.

    "in apex evolution players can participate in hunts during a match for the various creatures of the arena, successfully slaying a specific number of these creatures will earn them trophies of each animal, such as a mounted flyer skull. After proving yourself you can earn the chance to participate in a legendary hunt. This is a mode similar to the broken ghost where you can hunt a creature that was genetically engineered by the IMC during the titan wars. A successful legendary hunt grants players xp, crafting metals, and a legendary version of a trophy. You can collect items on the map or maybe through an ltm. In addition hunting various creatures earns you trophies wall mounts, full sized animal trophies or wall mounted weapons made from claws, horns, teeth ect."

    Allow me to craft more than just materials, like a house and maybe a boat.  Then this game might be worth playing again.

    I agree. Especially for those that hit level 500 already (i am at 153 on Xbox btw). Many of the legendary skins seem to be paid only anyway, so I think it wouldn't be a big deal for Respawn if we could craft those 4-5 available in the skin menu. 

    I crafted the Sari Not Sari skin for Rampart a few days ago. Now I am trying to build up crafting materials again to get a nice banner.

    FACTS

    Every game out there has a way of obtaining currency or packs for free. This game does not. I do not count the free level up packs, because after a certain level you get one every few levels. This system they have set up only exists to screw over the player and force them to spend more real money if they want anything cool. The battle pass is also trash, you only get a profit of 50 coins. The fortnite battle pass system is BY FAR bettter. There needs to be changes, but I doubt that will ever happen. Blame EA all you want, but it's respawns IP. They could leave if they wanted.
