The Iron Crown Event: Just a predatory monetisation tactic?

I as always was hype for the event and still am, but i do have to admit the tactics to get my money here is very cheeky.. The forth currency is just blatant EA looking to grab cash because we already have a 3 currency in place Apex coins (hard cash), Legend Tokens (in abundance for levelling, but cant use) and crafting materials (cosmetics). If they were listening to the player base.. We have been banging on about how to use the Legend Tokens and whats the point of them.. This event should have been set up to use LT instead of these CROWNS rubbish...

For me; it seems they did not think about events at the beginning to be able to set the 3 currency system up properly to take the events into consideration.

i.e Capping levelling at 100 so no one gets any more apex coins, however still letting you level up to get LT to no end (limitless). Coupled with them not giving anything to spend them on (apart from the odd new legend or after spending hard cash) for so long players now have them in an abundance rendering them useless to EA from there perspective (big mistake of theirs imo)

If they new and had worked faster releasing content they could have set the events utilising LT and still had them behind a paywall just as they are now.

Or they did know and they are just looking to roll out constant what i would call "smash and grab" events.

Its probably the latter!

@dtOddity92 : you say the Blood Hound set is just a preview, is that right? it says this on google when i searched:

"You’ll have to unlock all 24 items in the Iron Crown Collection first, and after doing so, you have the option to buy the heirloom set for 3,500 Apex Coins."

@anyone - Also does anyone know why its called a "Heirloom set" if the set consist of one item? the word set implies more than one item to me.. as i'm not sure what these items are can someone say?

thank you
