@crumpsly I mean, it sounds like you are complaining about the prices. An heirloom is basically priced at $500.
It sounds crazy to me, but there are lots of games where highly exclusive cosmetic items are the main money drivers, including Warframe, for example.
Did you buy all 4 of the $25 skins for ALGS?
If not, then you're really just complaining about the pricing structure for completely optional cosmetic items. I would tend to see that as invalidating your argument. You don't need any of them to play the game, therefore spending money to buy them is something you either decide to do or not to do.
If you don't like prices, it doesn't mean they're a scam. As far as heirlooms are concerned, the devs have been VERY clear that you shouldn't expect to get one without opening up to 500 packs, so it's not like you can claim you didn't know how rare they were. Not getting what you wanted is also frustrating, but not a scam.

@LaughingSharko Your missing the whole point, the prices themselves are not the scam... the scam is that you have to pay $30 just to get a $25 skin
- 5 years ago@TheApexLegendNub You don't have to do any of that. You don't have to buy $30. You don't have to spend $25. You can just not buy the skins.
A scam is advertising something that is false or misleading. With Apex coins, you know exactly how much you things cost and how much you need to meet that cost.
If you choose to spend $30, you can buy one skin and get something else worth 500 Apex coins. Or you can buy $50 worth of Apex coins and buy 2 skins. Or $40 worth and by 1 ALGS skin and another legendary skin and other items.
If you feel the ALGS skin isn't worth buying $30 of coin for it, then don't. It's not that complicated. If you don't feel Legendary skins are worth purchasing $20 of coins and having money left over, then don't buy them. The same thing goes for battle passes.
You have all the information needed to make your decision, what you decide is not Respawn's fault, and most certainly not a scam.
