Please add a counter for the amount of packs opened out of 500

It would be nice to see the amount of packs i've opened and how close I am to the 500th pack. Seeing something like 200/500 in the apex packs screen would help a lot in deciding how many packs are n...

@MoNosDirtyGaming I highly doubt it would ever happen. They most likely use this as a ploy to have more spend money. Not allowing a counter means people then have to keep buying crates to get to 500. Not knowing means someone could buy 100 packs and they only needed 8 more. It is a sales ploy imo how i see it. Cause if i knew i only needed 8 packs then i wouldnt buy 100 hoping for it.

    @MoNosDirtyGaming would be horrible thing to allow from their stand point of marketing. In the end this will result in less crates being bought from knowing exactly how many they need. So with loss of revenue which out of the millions who play would be a loss that could bankrupt a company. After all those crates are 98% of the games income. Knowing marketing myself it just would be too big of a hit i believe,

      @E9ine_ACLmao MATE, each event they get 150 from certain players, and events happen at least once every 2 months. They hardly fix any bugs, there's still a buncha glitches which they refuse to fix. Some players think they're 100 boxes away when they're actually 350+, this would increase revenue not decrease it as players know how much they need to reach the 500 mark. I also know marketing, it works both ways. The players who don't purchase boxes because they don't know how many they need would instantly jump at a chance for their heirloom. Have some hope, seems depressing reading your comments.

        @MoNosDirtyGamingandf still millions buying crates. bugs mean nothing to some. Not to mention if someone see they only need 10 more crates verse the 100 they was going to buy cause they didnt know how many they needed so yea. Its a loss of revenue.

      @E9ine_ACI'm pretty sure they stated in the beginning, that they wanted to be open and honest with their prices or marketing though? Like, they said something to the extent, that the prices are reasonable/fair for the quality of what you're getting- which is true, I mean I'm happy with game.

      It was a good read; I remember reading it a long while ago
