Upcoming FF7 Event Pack Price
So for people who don't know, Apex posted a short video summarizing the rewards of the upcoming Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth event. And in it, you get a glimpse of what it will look like when tracking ho...

So That Punch Kid who has enough disposable income to justify buying the heirloom gets it for free from EA. Respawn & EA are the absolute bloody worst: They released an absolutely terrible heirloom for Ash & then release the amazing Buster Sword for a bit under £360!!! 😤 I saw some streamer on twitter get it in his first pack as well, when he also could have justified buying it. If the event only had the usual 24 items & I could craft all the epics & buy the legendaries for 7500 (the two bundles in heirloom events) than I could definitely justify getting it, but I am on disability benefits so over £300 is just excessive to me. I know no one is going to care, but I just wanted to rant about the state of the cosmetics becoming even more pricey. I opened my free pack, didn't get it, bought the pack for 100 coins, didn't get it. I know there's another free pack next week or the following, but I highly doubt I am getting it. Sucks that I'm close to heirloom shards & I won't even be able to get the sword with them after the event because it's limited. All the streamers who didn't get it for free are just buying it & encouraging their greed.
I understand your frustration and think that the prices should be a bit lower.
I will not begrudge those that get lucky with getting something from the free pack/s no matter their income, they get lucky good for them.
As for streamers or PRO Apex players they pay just like any one else, they have the disposable income from the job that they do, just like any other person it is a choice they have to make if they are going to spend their hard earned cash on a cosmetic or not.
Me I would love to have the Buster Sword for "free", and I do have the disposable income to by 36 packs to guarantee getting what I would like to have from the event, will I do that no because I chose to do other things with my money.
Will I buy a few packs and hope I get lucky, probably yes.
The choice is ours whether to purchase or not.
IMHO I do agree that the prices are way to step and if the prices were lower, that both EA and the Consumer would have a win win situation as more people would purchase if the price was lower, which would mean more income for EA.
heh in belgium the only way to get the sword is to pay the whole event full price so around 500€ since you can't buy packs and EA didn't give any other alternative.
I forgot about packs being banned in Belgium, that's even worse! Do you just get scrap in your battle passes then?
- @flakeeey0304 I'm with you on the part about the cost being higher and not buying it due to that. If this was a regular event I'd have bought. If crafting packs was 1000 mats instead of 1650 I would have bought. I've got 25k crafting material.
these are the interesting things for EA, create events of this type not fix server hit registering or cheaters because there will always be someone with the possibility of purchasing expensive items and there always will be...
This is business...Free game with expansive object...years ago you bought games for around $70 and that was it then big company understood is better this way you earn a lot more even if people complain.
sorry for my engrish
shame because it's actually the only heirloom i wanted to buy but i can't even buy it for 360$ in belgium lmao
