Re: The Flaws of the Battle Pass and Overall Economy

The battle pass is ok, nothing great but worth the price.... the economy is definitely broken though, not so much on character skins but weapon skins is horrible, no one is going to pay 18 dollars for a alternator skin then spend legend tokens for the exclusive that's the same dang skin but different color....lol... fortnite skins cost 8-20 bucks depending on variant so that's pretty par for the course but weapon skins should be no more then 3-4 dollars. Also the item shop doesn't update fast enough, literally i play lifeline as a main and the option to buy one of her legendary skins has only been in the shop once since the game came out, having the chance to buy a skin in the shop shouldn't happen every 2 months... and there's no way I'm buying anymore apex packs just to get 1 of the 4 million intro or kill quips for a legend

Agreed. I dont know if they make more or less money going the loot box route, but it sure feels worse. And having people spend $500 to get a knife? That is just wrong.
I've probably spent $700 on league of legends over 7 years... But always $3-12 at a time - for something i actually wanted that made me happy. Like buying overpriced coffee from starbucks.
I spent some money on apex packs, and decided they only enjoyable thing i get from that rng fest is the fun of opening a box.. so i really cant understand why i would spend any more on them. Plus, most of the cosmetics are boring recolors of other boring skins.
