Okay, i have read your entire post and i agree to some extend and also disafree
Agree
1. SOLO IS AWESOME AND SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED
YES YES YES YES.. a thousand times yes we do need solo not because Theres no teamplay but because its fun.. i love solo in Fortnite and i would love it in APEX, lets get solo games implemented!!
2. Bad teamplay
this is true, Theres a lot of * players/people out there that will do anything for that loot or a like, they will also leave for like no reason at all, i do however experience a more friendly approach and if you play with a mic 6/10 you will get a good experience with the random squad.

Disagree
1.Please, don't give me that "this is a team based game"
I completely disagree here and im pretty much lost for words..the entire game is build around teamplay and i see no reason for this to be an argument for having solo games what so ever.
respawn beacons, revive, abilities, ping system, legend roles and in my opinion the way the map is build it gives you so many tactical options with 3 players.
2.Keep the server at 60 players
i dont think this is a good number and it must be decreased, my guess would be 45
if you look at the map i see about 16 places to drop with mediocre to good loot chances. thats 3,75 players lets say 4 at each location.. left to fend for them selves, i dont think this is a good solution, some dislikes the fast paced start and would like a more suttle approach.
i like to do bunker which is almost always fast paced and action from the first second and this was something i disliked very much the first few weeks because i kept dying,, and if we dont make some room for new more newbie players to drop a little further away and loot up a little slower, they will grow bored and drop the game apex that we love so much.
3. people that pay for, and support this game
This game is free and although you can choose to pay for some content such as BP you are not forced in any way so no i do not agree with you that players who tell other players there point of view here should be banished, i dont agree with them, but ban is to harsh.. free country and all.
i do know what you mean, but perhaps a less extreme statement would get you further.
MY TAKE FOR A SOLUTION
Perhaps something like a ranking system for the match finder?
have you ever played games like LoL, HoN, Dota2 or CS:GO?
they have an MMR.
so lets say everyone gets 1000 MMR points from the start and the match making will pair people from 900-1099 together and 700-899 and so on, in the same matches.
15 points for winning a match
10 for second place
5 points for a revive
5 points for a respawn
1 points for a kill
-5 points for for placing below top 10
-2 points for loosing a teammate (all dead)
this way we reward teamplay and not solo seperating players who dont play nice from players who do, it will also seperate more skilled players from the lesser skilled.. they will however be able to work themselves up through the ranks and at the sametime give people a sense of progress which will keep the game fun and interesting.
Maybe im right maybe im wrong i just dont believe we should have solo for some of the reasons that you state here.
all and all we agree solo should see the light of day, but who knows
See you in my scope 😉
I would die of boredom with 45 players. With 60 players you can easily drop in a place without a team get ok loot and move on to a place with a team. Not even play fast paced. I get bored with 60 players sometimes. If you drop in hot placed it will be fast paced. That's how BR games work.
