Apex Legends Monetisation

Here's the problem:

- Legendary cosmetics can only be obtained through loot boxes

- You spend tens to hundreds of dollars on loot boxes for the chance to get a cosmetic you want

For example, I want the "Officer Williams" Bangalore skin, so I'd buy lots of loot boxes for a chance to get the skin.

How to fix it:

- You can directly purchase all Legendary cosmetics with Apex Coins

For example, if I want the "Officer Williams" Bangalore skin, I'd go on Bangalore in the Legends tab, select the skin and be asked whether I want to spend 1,200 Crafting Metals or 1,800 Apex Coins.

I think this is very reasonable and needs to become a reality as soon as possible.

  • There are so many Legendary skins I want at the moment (especially Vengeance Seeker Wraith so I can be the sweaty Wraith main I need to be) and honestly I wouldn't mind spending $10 each to buy them.

    @CompleatBeet Point in monetisation is to make you pay more money. If you dont want to pay, be patient, collect crafts from passes and craft what you want, they must make money somehow after all
  • Well agree with everything in your post I do think you should be able to just buy said items and as for the argument that they need to make money is a horrible excuse to implement a lottery based system. I mean fortnite lets you by stuff on a store that changes everyday and there prices are somewhat reasonable and they make a ton of money from the cosmetics still. The heirlooms alone cost hundreds of dollars that don't give you any advantage or even special damage or effects. If i'm paying hundred plus for a cosmetic that thing better give me some type of advantage.

  • @Srksii I don't want to grind and I genuinely don't mind spending money on a Legendary skin which is why I think they should at least allow us to directly purchase all Legendaries with Apex Coins

    @CompleatBeet Too bad there isen't a trading system.

    I would be happy to give you the vengeance seeker for a triple take skin. ( i only have the tamed beast that i dont use )

  • @Heli0sH00K Thanks, but I don't have a Legendary Triple Take ☹️

    More the reason for direct purchasing of skins to be added! 🙌

    @CompleatBeet Grind means that you must work for something and if you grind more, you'll make more. Its not grind, but anyway, you do can buy all skins with cash, didnt noticed that they are complaining about that. If you are talking about limited skins, they are limited with dirty reason ofc. To pull money out of people in haste
  • Yes grinding is fine if what your grinding for was actual crafting metals but since your grinding for a lottery loot box its not really all the fulfilling since 90 percent of the time its junk or something for a character you don't main. Not to mention how spread out the loot boxes are. I understand it's a business but I mean I had to play this game for like 3 plus months before I saved up enough crafting metals to get a skin. I will say tho the battlepass is probably your only bet at getting any crafting metals cause if your trying to play this game and think your going to get a skin without spending it ain't happening.

    If the game needs to earn money they should enable the ability to purchase skins with AC at all times
