Apex Legends cheaters stopping me from spending my money on the game!
Okay so you're probably wondering what I mean by "stopping me from spending my money on the game". What I mean is that the second main reason that I don't spend any more money on Apex Legends is because it feels stupid giving money to a gaming company that poorly manages the cheaters in the game. Why would I spend my hard earned money on a video game that charges me anywhere from 10$ to 300 freaking dollars for a skin in the game. Are you kidding me?! You guys have had over 6 years to take care of the Strike Pack and Cronus Zen situation. If you guys decided that you wantvto allow people to use these cheating devices, then why don't you just make an announcement encouraging people to use them. Let me tell you something that should mean the world to any investor, employee, developer, gamer, and marketing team. A guy like me makes above average money. I manage my money, and time well enough to be able to spend some of it on Apex Legends. I have put over 6000 hours of gameplay into that game because I truly wanted to be one of the best in the world and I wanted the world to see that I had a predator badge. I have hit predator over 5 times now. But guess what. I don't have a badge!! I have spent my time and money on this game. Every single time I stopped playing this game for a long period of time, it was after grinding long hours trying to secure predator. After spending way too much money for a few skins. After seeing the amount of cheaters in the game. I absolutely refuse to go and buy a Cronus Zen like everyone else. I refuse to buy a Strike pack. It blew my mind finding out that most of the top 20 predators on Playstation right now are using these devices and blatantly show them on stream! How are they not getting banned?!?!?! These guys are literally showing off the devices on their stream. It's insane. Why am I working so hard to do things right and earn what I deserve just to get slapped in the face with a masters badge and get ego'd away by dudes who are using Cronus Zens, Xim matrix, Strike packs, scripts. They act like they are the sh**. They talk so much snack to everyone as if they aren't cheating. They are over here getting hundreds of views on Twitch because they are ranked so high but yet they are cheating. There are discords with their accounts talking about the mod packs they have. Here's the other thing. These guys are boosting accounts for money. Do you realize what that actually does to the game from a business standpoint? It actually drives the community away. People like me see that 100+ people are out there using cheats to boost other accounts to Apex Predator rank therefore making it impossible to actually make the rank. They are each doing this with multiple accounts. 100 people will boost like 1 to 3 accounts to pred easily. And will boost others to master. I used to know a guy who was making 100k a year from boosting acounts. All I'm asking at this point is for you to make an Apex Legends 2. Fix everything. Either tell people it's okay to use the Strike packs, Cronus Zens, and Xims or tell them it's bannable and detectable. Actually make it detectable like Fortnite did. Also stop selling cosmetics for an arm and a leg. Sell like this and I guarantee you will make way more money. All commons should be free but earned. All rares should be one dollar or earnable. All epics should be 5 dollars or earnable. All legendaries should be 10 dollars or earnable. All mythics should be no more than 50 dollars and should always come with extra stuff. Btw before I end this rant I wanted to let you know these cheating methods are just the tip of the iceberg and I have lost over 5000rp in a single split to getting DDOS, killed by aimbotters, strike packers etc. FIX THIS SH**.
