Although legend tokens are good to have they are also useless until a new character is released. Especially if you are level 500+ you don’t really get apex packs or anything from leveling up only legend tokens. So in exchange for 30,000-50,000 legend tokens you should be able to buy 100-200 apex coins. That way people without heirlooms and also people looking for a legendary item can still obtain it just by leveling up.

@ZydecoWRLDI don't think Respawn/EA (mostly EA) would do that. However, I much rather see Heirlooms cost legend tokens to unlock as an alternative to the heirloom crafting materials. Although even if they go for 30-50k, players like me can easily get 12-21. (I have 635,800) I don't know if 100k would work either, as I can still get 6 heirlooms. While this sounds great on paper, I feel like it would degrade from those who randomly got heirloom shards, then again... people had bought most of their heirlooms, and the game seems to reward new players with heirlooms more over long term players, so I don't really care about that "degrading of value" for heirlooms.
I recently got lucky enough to finally get the heirloom shards, and I wanted to get Lifeline's and such, but don't want to start maining the one I pick. So, I'm waiting for Valk's. I just wish I didn't have to decide so much on a cosmetic item, that only changes what I punch with, adds a voice line, and a banner pose.
I don't think this will ever happen. It's a neat idea (I like it) but everyone and their dog would have an heirloom then (I have no problem with this by the way, but for the community it's the "exclusivity" of it that gives its appeal). Many of us are well over level 500+ with no heirloom and with the amount of these legend tokens I would probably easily be able to get what I want (For several legends) right now. There are so many players at this level without an heirloom it would break the exclusivity of it.
I also don't believe it's "easier" for new players to get one; zero evidence to support this. The only reasoning I can find to justify this is the fact heirloom shards weren't a "thing" when many of us started so we had zero chance with many packs we've opened previously.
It'll come when it comes. I don't worry about it.
It, however, *would* be nice to be able to do *something* with these tokens as I have a ridiculous amount of them and they really have no value. I get the impression they did not really think it through with what they wanted to do with these or just changed their mind.
