$20 per skin?

Isn’t $20 per skin a bit expensive?

    Agree.

    Currently legends token is pretty useless.

    If they change to:

    1. $10 + 12K legend token  for character legendary skin 

    2. $5   +   6K legend token   for weapon legendary skin  

    That would be more reasonable. 

    Or run special offer/promotion on big days, such as Memorial day, July 4th, School holiday, etc.

    In one of my topics where I gave some feedback to the developers here in the forum I said that no one is going to give money for old skins and content. We need more easily acquirable crafting materials and Apex Packs for the match winners. This is the only way people will keep playing and even considering giving money for new skins.

  • Well that could be hit registration. I mostly run the same guns r99,r301,peace keeper or a long bow there’s a few guns I won’t pick up even if it’s the only gun around like wingman or a Mozambique is rather run away.

    It's not expensive when you think about the advantage some of the skins give. 

    Look at Pathfinder's legendary skins making him look bigger than he normally is. His hit box is much smaller than his normal skin even, so when you fight a legendary Pathfinder skin, you see tons of shots literally just passing through him. I've had head shots go directly through his face and miss. The only spot you can reliably hit him is in his chest monitor, and that's just a load of garbage. 


    No Skin is meant to actually give an advantage and this microtransaction system is definitely not intended to do so. If that is even true it's a clear oversight. Cosmetics transactions are not meant to be pay to win.

    Funny thing is I'd end up spending way more if they were reasonably priced.

  • Especially, the skins they are currently offering is just a recolor of existing skins. There is absolutely no creativity behind the designs. That makes the $20 that harder to swallow. It's just another one of the many issues they need to resolve with this game.

    This backwards in-game store could be much better if they let us spend the Legend Tokens first and then it unlocked a cooler skin we could buy.

    Or at the very minimum get away from this garbage system that incentives you to buy lootboxes. I can't wait for the day when they finally ban this shady business practice.
