Heirloom refunds for players who got one prior to System Override event

14 pt

Hello EA/Respawn I got a request for older players who have been supporting the game since launch to Season 4 .

In Season 4 in System Override event Respawn introduced Heirloom Shards, I and many others got Heirlooms a week or two before the Heirloom Shards were a thing.

I've got a Heirloom for Wraith who I almost never play which many people would want but imagine if you wanted to get Wraith's Heirloom but you got it for someone else, it would be a bummer since it will take a very long time to get another one

So here's an idea I pitched that won't hurt Respawn financially:

Give players 7 days to turn only ONE of their Heirlooms that they got prior to System Override update and that's it, I also acknowledge that it might take dev time to develop this feature so it also makes to just not be bothered, but I and many others would invest more in the game if this were to happen.

Apex is a game that changes it's meta every mid-season or seasonal update, and since it's already very boring to play a single legend it would make sense to look for more Heirlooms, same thing goes for Fortnite, you only got a single skin slot yet people who invest in the game have bought a lot of player model skins.

Please consider this.

  • @Iamsorry_y Around the time when heirloom shards became a thing, people been asking for the ability to turn in Wraith's heirloom. This has yet to happen. Its most likely because they can't take away items from a player's account. You have the heirloom, voiceline, and banner frame. That's 3 items that have to be removed and its just not something they do.

    I wish players who want a trade-in to get a solution soon, but its been roughly a year and a half now with no word on it.
