Re: Nerf the micro-transactions

All six Heirloom sets worth $3000?????
A single Legendary skin costs $20???
And the worst part: a single collection event apex pack costs 700 Apex Coins ($10), meaning the entire store is $240?
Come on Apex: you're better than this! These prices are reasonable to both the players and developers:
Legendary Skin: 1000 Apex Coins
Collection Event Apex Pack: 400 Apex Coins
Get an Heirloom every 250 Apex Packs: they're not worth $500
I mean, just nerf the micro-transactions somewhere in between a minor and moderate amount. EA make my favourite games and I don't want them to have a reputation as a micro-transaction loving company like Activision.
That AND not everybody can afford these ridiculous prices.
Yeah. I logged on and was excited to play my first event, then I started reading into it more and holy microtransactions, Batman.
Don't get me wrong, I understand this is a F2P game, but really? Hundreds of dollars to get some Epic and Legendary items? That is insane
And, there really is no free way to earn them. Apex Coins cost money, the packs cost money and even crafting materials technically cost money, because the packs they come from eventually "run out", when you hit a certain level. At least without paying for them. And, even the crafting materials you get from battle passes cost you money at some point.
This is ridiculous.
Don't get me wrong, I have no issue spending money on a F2P title, but again, hundreds of dollars for items in one event is ridiculous. And a single Epic should not cost $10 (1,000 coins) nor should a single Legendary cost $18 (1,8000 coins)
Again, don't get me wrong, I don't mind spending money, but the prices should be reasonable.
And, honestly, I find the title "collection" event, to be a bit misleading. It's not collecting, it's buying stuff. The only one "collecting" anything is EA "collecting" money from people's wallets.
