Hi @DEOVONTAY!
What a brilliant, well constructed post!
The loot box system in games is such a hot topic of debate. I think Apex and the battle royal game mode were specifically designed for the loot box system.
It's essential to have eyes wide open when going into these types of games.

I couldn't agree more with you. I am a past player of LOL (played from 2009 to 2016), and I also agree that Riot's economy system was the best one I've ever seen. It would be marvelous if Respawn was going to follow Riot's lead, but I expect them to mimic Fortnite's economy. If they do nothing, I do agree that the game won't be able to monetize enough to survive for more than a couple of months - maybe one year.
However, I have a faint hope that they will change things significantly as the season starts. That's what a season is all about, right? I think that they never expected the game to be successful in the first place, so they just put a rip-them-off-as-much-as-we-can-type economy, knowing that the game would have died in 3-6 months. Things proved to be different, and I foresee they will change the entire system ASAP.
Kudos for the great post anyways! - 6 years agoThe loot box topic is only the subject of debate because AAA companies are still trying to press the blatant lie that loot boxes are somehow good for customers. They're not. They are objectively bad for customers and only benefit the seller.
This isn't a case about keeping an open mind, this is a case of corporate greed, just like every other AAA title in the last five years.- 6 years ago
You spent $200 on lol! Really?
As for the skins I disagree. If you are level 100 you will have enough scrap to buy atleast one legend skin you want. You should have got others for free.
All of this for free in addition to other skins. If we want them to be rare and wow moments they must be hard to get. You can buy the skins for £15 if really desperate on rotation (if you are that crazy).
Also we don't know what the seasons will bring and what access to new skins. It's very early to complain about something you got for free because you can't have it all for free. You do know they did work to make the game.
Finally I'm personally quite happy with this system super fans will pay $200 and support the game meaning more content is added and the game gets better. If no one buys items they will be forced to diversify into a new way of getting money in game so ultimately it's all player driven whether you like it or not.
