Why do we need this forum?
The game is at its worst spot Worst cheating abusing, Worst Ranking Mode, Worst Queuing Experience in pubs, Worst player drops since S15 Audio missing issue still exists, guns are still unbalanced,...
Forum Discussion
To provide a place for the community, to get feedback, idea's and to see what's going on with the game.
Playcount has been a bit lower on average compared to last year, at least on the Steam platform.
Possible that players have moved from Steam to other platforms though, with cross progression releasing it's entirely possible that the amount of Steam players will drop even further.
The issues that get shared on the forums aren't always so easy to fix, they're usually a tad more complicated to resolve.
Cheating issues, Matchmaking, Balancing, Audio issues, all of those kind of things... well, they're quite major issues that take a lot of resources and time to resolve.
It's not that they aren't aware of these issues, these forums definitely help a lot with that! But it's mostly that they're not so simple to fix sadly enough.
@XHelperZ
So why have these problems not been resolved for so long?
They say it is not that easy to solve the problems, but if we could see some efforts to improve the situation, we wouldn't have so much to say about it.
How many years do you think have passed since apex was released in the first place?
A "normal" game development team would have made some improvements after such a long time, even if the game was in such a bad state when it was first released.
But what about apex?
The problems that have been mentioned since the first release have hardly been improved.
If the reason is that they have been working hard on these problems since the first release but have not been able to improve them, then factors such as lack of resources can be taken into account to some extent, and there is nothing to be said about this much.
In reality, however, these problems have hardly been improved since the initial release, and all that is done instead are updates that are not supposed to be done until after the problems have been solved (e.g., the current revamped rank system), or money-raising events.
The posters are expressing their dismay at this lax attitude, which is not being addressed because resources are being allocated to other things, and the problems that should be addressed with all their effort are instead being addressed on a one-sided basis.
Furthermore, if the problem can be improved to some extent even if it is a one-sided effort, but there is no sign of improvement at all, and all they are doing is making excuses that "it is difficult to identify the cause and fix it," so it is only natural that users are angry and dismayed.
It is because of this spoiled attitude that users are getting fed up and leaving the game.
The decrease in Steam players is not due to migration to other platforms or cross-progression at all.
It's purely because players have become disenchanted and left the game itself.
Not easy to fix, huh? Then you should do all you can to fix it.
Don't turn your back on the fact that you've been getting so much crap because you've been spending so much resources on unnecessary things and not making any progress.

I look at it like this -
Apex is like an old apartment building falling apart, barely livable. Yet packed with residents.
The owner of the apartment building is lets say EA.
The manager of the complex is... well, Respawn.
Owner (EA), raises the rent for the residents by 3 times. Owner has increased his income from the apartment triple fold, and is racking in cash. All while the apartment is falling apart. Pipes leak, elevator has been out of service for a year, the base heaters barley work, no water pressure, mold on the ceilings, termites and * roaches have made a home within, no fire extinguishers, poor lighting, fire escape routes too dangerous to use and.... well, you get the point.
Owner (EA) is making triple the money off the residents, and as such, has made a small fortune - yet refuses to put any of that fortune (not even a tiny percentage of it) back into the apartment building for the residents to feel, safer, happier and secure.
Residents knocking on the Manager's door (Respawn) to no end, trying to get the building issues dealt with.
Manager (Respawn) behind his door, while an angry mob of residents demand fixing of their home.
Manger (Respawn) says quietly from behind the door - "Nobody's home, go away."
My interpretation of Apex Legends in a nutshell.
: )
It has all become a bad joke.... EA are now dead to me as publisher, they can't uphold communication with customer. All they do is producing heaping amont garbage skins that has way to high price point.... fed up with the poor customer service game developers have today. Now even bethesda are claiming customers in some sense to be ignorant, stupid and unrealistic for demanding better qualiry for the high price paid. Honestly EA made huge profits and they have money to invest. At this point I am more encouraged to teach the younger generations coming after me that, my favorite hobby, online gaming with people from all over the wolrd is more or less becomong a lazy scam with extreme inhuman behavior towards each other....
