Yeah but I don't think you can really blame people for not sitting down and figuring out how many hours play it would take to unlock everything... and tbh I didnt see that mentioned anywhere obvious in the passes advertizing ot sales pages. I think that is what the OP is upset about, not the content but the fact that it takes a lot of hrs in game to get it all.
Balancing battle passes is difficult, you have to accomodate the streamers who play 8hrs a day and the casuals who may only get a few hrs a week. I can understand that someone who purchased the pass and will only get to level 60-70 by the time it ends may be a little upset, especailly given the majority of the content isn't exactly wonderful.
I think when selling these things they should make it clear on average how much playtime it will take to unlock everything.
@kartikins
Let me explain a few points:
-Battle pass: will require certain amount of hours to level it. It's obviously a fact so I don't think it's necessary to mention anywhere. In fact, I don't know if there is any game tell you " this battlepass need xxx amount of playing time to achieve" . If you know,please tell me.
- I really don't think it's grinding. I work from 8 to 5, I usually spent few hrs everynight to play this game, I had to share my PC with my gf, she plays the game too so I dun have much time left to grind. I only play Path and Octane and ignore weekly legend bonus. My BP level is 97 or 98 now.
- About my gf, she joined BP much later. She's also a terrible player. By "terrible" i meant: she has never used the mouse/keyboard to play PC game before. She got like 1 kill every 3 matches now. Her Apex level is 73, and her BP level is 53. She still got 50 days to reach level 100 if I'm not wrong
To prove my point, this is her stat:

I dunno, but grinding has different meaning in my book.It's sth wrong If someone plays 1 hour per day and expect to reach level 100 by now.
Wanna know what the real grinding is ? Make a quick search of PUBG most recent Battle Pass. Here is some facts:
- Majority of players can not reach max level by the end of the season.
- On my local PUBG group , Some people offer PUBG leveling service.
- One example: One BP mission requires you to drive 500km using vehicle. One person test it, he drove 50 km for 4 hours. 🙂

- Another example: require you to shoot 300 mags with a Uzi. Uzi is an early game weapon FYI.
This is grinding in my book.
In Apex, you just play the game normally, don't need to do any specific quest that potentially affect your gameplay and you will eventually reach max level. It's easy af and I like it.
In PUBG, I really hate the Battlepass. Imagine when you try to play a normal match while your teammate run around shoot everywhere with his Uzi in order to complete 300mags by Uzi quest. It's annoying af. Or another teammate get on the vehicle and run around the map to complete the 500km quest. It seriously affects my game, no one wants to fight or win the game, they just want to do quest.
Despite the lack of content, I'm still ok with Apex BP1. I still can play normally without worrying the quest.
