So......... you spent money into the game and now you're crying because their bussiness model is "unfair" ?

Hell yes it is ! Lootboxes are cancer ! It kills games ^^

But one thing we can't blame them for is false advertising, you knew what you were buying so what with the whining now ?

@Braergor

Such dialogue has no genuine benefit. Attempting to berate someone for a consumer complaint only highlights your personal toxicity. As whether or not it's "false advertisement" is irrelevant as that was never the point being made. (Although some have taken into question their ratios being valid after not receiving epic items after 30 boxes)
The point remains the same. There was not fair value for the money spent. It's a pretty straight forward concern.

  Ok, please stop me when i become toxic :
  1 - you spent money in the game, knowing exactly what you were buying, lootboxes
  2 - you come here to oppose this game's unfair bussiness model
  I may have been sarcastic, but you should be able to see the logical error in your approach. You're the kind to drive a Hummer and support ecologists against global warming ?
  Some could also argue your topic should be named : "Apex store - Another discussion" considering the high number of topics blaming Ea / Respawn for their bussiness model. 😛

    Your first point is a mere assumption. I bought the founders pack and didn't realize how little content $40 would provide. The latter point is correct.
    
    Your analogy is in no shape or form relevant to the conversation at hand. As I didn't purchase the in game currency to help support the this specific business model and was unaware of how drastically low they provided for what you paid. Hence the post and me vowing to not spend any further funds supporting such a model.
    
    Lastly, If there is indeed many people with similar troubles boycotting the store may prove effective long term. I will ignore a game I enjoy to help squelch a big companies greed.
