The transcript of the EA advisor:

Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:39:52 PM): Thank you for contacting EA HELP, my name is Preeti, may I start with your first name please?
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:40:01 PM): Hi Preeti my name is Dani
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:40:14 PM): Hello Dani. It's pleasant meeting you here. Apart from the issue, hope you are doing great. 🙂
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:40:30 PM): I see that you are facing some issue with Apex Legends. Could you please elaborate your concern so that I can help you in best possible way?
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:40:30 PM): I am! thanks for asking
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:41:05 PM): Glad to hear this.
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:41:46 PM): The issue: Many of my friends got apex packs and a lot of legend tokens out of no where. After a quick reddit search i saw that the lvl cap has been increased and people that played before the lvl cap got a lot of apex packs and legend tokens. It seems i have been left behind tho
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:42:22 PM): Is this correct?
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:42:31 PM): I know it must be inconvenient when you do not get the packs and tokens. Please rest assured. I'll surely do my best to address this for you.
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:42:53 PM): Am I allowed to ask few questions to understand the issue better and help you in best possible way?
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:42:58 PM): Ofcourse!
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:43:01 PM): Thank you.
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:43:19 PM): Dani, did you find any information about this on our official forum or EA website?
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:43:59 PM): I found it on the offical apex legends Reddit forum
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:45:10 PM): I found an article related to the issue
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:46:27 PM): I would like to share you that Reddit is not the place where our studio team shares any information. We always share all the information about the game on forum, EA help site and Social Media like Twitter. However, let me check this internally for you if there was any promotion like this.
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:47:10 PM): https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/progression-changes
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:47:22 PM): Thought you would say that so i found this haha
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:47:40 PM): That's great! Thank you. I am checking this.
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:47:57 PM): No problemo!
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:50:26 PM): While I am discussing this, may I know who is your favorite legend?
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:50:39 PM): Bangalore!
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:51:17 PM): And Pathfinder they share the first place haha
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:51:24 PM): they*
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:52:05 PM): Great! My favorite is Octane.🙂
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:52:19 PM): Nice! the health regen is so OP
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:53:27 PM): I know you said that reddit isnt a offical EA website. But i found a developer: Leeeeeee-RSPN confirming that people before the lvl cap increase get the missed packs. Want to see the reddit thread?
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:54:03 PM): No worries. I have discussed the case already. Thank you so much for being on hold. I really appreciate your patience and gaming spirit.
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:54:14 PM): thanks! haha
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:56:22 PM): I have discussed the case with my senior team and would like to share you that you should have been given the packs and tokens as mentioned by Leeeeeee. It seems that there is some kind of bug due to which you haven't been given the rewards yet. However, here, nothing to worry about. I have found solution for you.
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:56:26 PM): I would request you to please post this on our official forum so that the in-game developers and community managers can take a look over this and help you with this then and there.
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:57:08 PM): Had it been possible to add the contents from here, then I would have loved to add that for you however as you may be aware that all the contents are granted by the servers only.
Preeti (2/24/2020, 6:57:36 PM): My intention is not to keep you away from something that you can have, had it been possible for me to process the request for you, then I wouldn't have given it a second thought. I hope that you will understand.
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:57:47 PM): I understand you can only reach so far
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:58:09 PM): but is it possible for you to contact a developer for me?
Dani (2/24/2020, 6:58:35 PM): Im not the best at making forums and there is a chance that they wont even see it
Preeti (2/24/2020, 7:00:13 PM): I really wish I could do that however, you will need to do this from your end by posting it on forum. So that when our in-game developers/community managers will reply, you will get to know about that. Rest assured that you will get reply.
Dani (2/24/2020, 7:00:29 PM): Sure ill do that then!
Dani (2/24/2020, 7:00:34 PM): Thank you anyway for the help
Preeti (2/24/2020, 7:00:41 PM): By the way this was a really nice experience to chat with you. I wish I could be the next person to assist you next time.
Dani (2/24/2020, 7:00:46 PM): Do you mind if ill post this transcript in the forum?
Dani (2/24/2020, 7:00:54 PM): You helped me very well!
Preeti (2/24/2020, 7:01:48 PM): Sure. You may post it there.
Dani (2/24/2020, 7:01:59 PM): Thanks Preeti!

    @De_Fietsbandiet @MyAiua 

    Lvl 100 players got 14 Apex packs.

    What was your level?

    If you were less than 100 lvl then you got less Apex packs.

    There was also a bug and low lvl players got many apex packs more than 14 and legend tokens.

    I guess the bug just didn't happen to you.

    Hey @De_Fietsbandiet

    Thanks for reaching out to us about this. I'm afraid that missing packs or items are not something that we would be able to help with directly here on Answers HQ. I'm sorry about what happened, and I'll forward up the case you created to see if we can help prevent this from happening again in the future. 

    That said, like @SpyrosFPS asked before do you remember what level you were before the level cap increased? Did you not get any packs at all, or did you get fewer than you had expected? 

    /Kent

  • Hey @EA_Kent,

    No i did not get a single pack at all. My friends logged on with plus 35 packs and a lot of legend tokens (he could buy 2/3 champions). I was around lvl 65 that time a higher lvl then him.

    But who can i contact then? Because even EA Help facebook cant help me. There must be someone that can help us?

  • @SpyrosFPS I dont think thats the case because they changed the way you get your apex packs. You get them much faster now then season 1/2 ect.

    @De_Fietsbandiet 

    Read proof picture again. It says level 100 players will get 14 Apex packs. 

    Anything else is just a bug! The bug happened to your friend and he got more rewards.

    Reward system changed after 51 level.

    You were around 65 level so i think you get 5-6 Apex packs and that's all. Do you remember getting 5-6 Apex packs?

    Yes some players even lower than 100lvl got 30 packs and legend tokens and some of them reported it as a bug. :/
    According to the patch notes you could get 14packs if you were 100lvl and less packs if you were lower lvl.
