Bring back old store recolors!
The Apex Item Store is 99% of the time filled with garbage charms and weapon skins that no one wants so I barely ever check it. The new "bundles" are a joke - has anyone even bought the lifeline char...
Forum Discussion
Already champions like Revenant, even 4 months after their release, still didn't get even a single recolor, and you want previous ones to come back? How many mirage or bloodhound recolors people need?!
Then expand the store! Why is this so difficult? It's DIGITAL you can just add another tab for recolors like Respawn already did with Heirlooms. Are you telling me it's not within their capabilities?

The ''Buy now or forever to late'' method is used all over the world to make people buy things they maybe don't even want just in case.
Bringing old skins back and making the skins i got back then less exclusive will ensure i will never buy another exclusive item in the apex shop ever again.
- @DaAceXD Or it infuriates players who have real life engagements and may have not been able to play for a few days and find out they missed the one chance per year they had at a cosmetic they wanted.
No I disagree with once per year rotation on an exclusive color variation, much more money to be made with a 1 or 2 day exclusive rotation where if you log on daily you may see that exclusive you've been waiting for. Not once per week.

You're painfully wrong and don't know what you're talking about. Number one, the recolors do not even cost Apex Coins/real money, they cost LEGEND TOKENS. Number two, most of the playerbase doesn't even know about them because they're never advertised and there's no hype around them. I 100% guarantee that 80-90% of the playerbase do not know what the skins that I listed in the opening post look like, because barely anyone pays attention to the crappy rotating store. And finally, BECAUSE they are limited time only it means that people will actually refuse to buy the skin associated with the recolor since they're not sure whether it will actually come back.
Imperial Warrior looks awful. I would never put it on my Bloodhound. However, I WOULD buy Imperial Warrior if The Great Winter was in the shop but it's not so that's 1.8k coins that EA missed out on me. The lost revenue can easily skyrocket into the millions.

''You're painfully wrong and don't know what you're talking about''I know exacly what im talking about. Since it is about me.
I <----- ME won't spend any more money on skins and packages in the future if they return the exclusive skins.
And im sure there are A LOT of people with me on that.
I played and supported the game on Day 1 and i and all those people deserve that have a unique skins that won't come back and make it a boring to be seen everywhere skin.
And its the same thing for the people that supported the game on day 100.
Next to that You say they would make a quick $ on doing that.
YES you are right.
And after that all the new exclusives they bring out won't be bought by me and all those people that got stabbed in the back that supported the game on day1.
Our unique skins are now no longer unique and exclusive.
Also you think that your solution has not been on the minds or even discussed at EA?
You don't need to be a genius to know this is a easy solution to make a quick $.
But future sells will be rock bottom because the community that bought the ''EXCLUSIVE" skin suddenly know that those skins are not exclusive anymore.
EA has people that do this stuff for a living and know exacly what happens when they do that.
Thats why they proberly won't do it.
They are interested in making a lot of money.
Not in making you mad.
This method is used all over the world.
People LOVE exclusive and limited editions.
Thats why you can even get a limited edition exclusive toaster these days.
Guess what happens when you turn something that is supposed to be excluse into a normal product for everybody to guy again.
They won't buy the excluse products they offer in the future because most people don't get scammed twice.
