Crafting materials
Can you please make it so we can get crafting materials easier and faster? I've been playing for hours today, and don't even have 100 crafting materials. Why? Is it so people spend real money on Ape...

@TheTechGenius Well EA makes their money off of apex packs and selling cosmetics. If they give away to much for free, EA won’t make any money.
You can get a ton of content for free. If you make it to level 500 you’ll get 180 apex packs for free, that’s $180 worth of apex packs. You can get other premium content by completing the various events. You’ll get some legendary content from 180 packs. That is actually a substantial amount of free content for a free game.
The Battle Pass is fairly inexpensive and packs a ton of premium content for the price.
EA has to generate revenue some how. They have to pay the dev teams, support staff and maintain servers, among other things.

@DarthValtrex And what about casual players that dont have that much time or money to invest in a game?
I already bought the battle pass. But for new casual players to reach level 500 is an INSANE amount of grind time. Hell, most players won't ever reach level 500 because they will probably move onto a different game before they reach level 500.
This is the problem with free to play games. They are really not for the every day casual player. They are more for the hardcore player that spends 6+ hours on the game every day.
Me personally, I rather pay for the game upfront, and have a great experience with unlocking stuff and getting rewards for how good I do in game.
And don't get me wrong, gameplay wise, Apex is a great game, and its extremely stable. And its actually pretty well balanced. Other BR games seemed to be rushed, updates feel rushed, and other BR games just feel very unfinished and extremely buggy. Apex feels complete as a base game, stable, and very fun.
I just wish there were more rewards based on how good I do per match, that's all.

- @TheTechGenius Then I guess you won’t get premium content? I don’t see the issue with the current system.
The game is not for casual gamers because they can’t/won’t get enough premium cosmetics for free? I don’t see how, it’s just cosmetics they have 0 impact on game play. You can be just as competitive as someone who has most of the in game content unlocked.- @DarthValtrex It's not about the cosmetics giving you any kind of gameplay advantage. Its about getting rewarded for playing and doing good.
That's one of the reason why people like COD and Battlefield. Because when you level up, you get rewarded. When I started playing the new COD, I unlocked items and cosmetics every other match. That's what keeps people playing, getting rewarded for playing the game.
And I'm not talking about premium items you can only buy with premium currency. I'm talking about Rare, Epic, and legendary cosmetics that take so long to get up the materials to unlock them. Forget legendary items, it takes forever to get up 1,200 crafting materials.
I can see why some people dont play apex for very long though. Playing the game day in and day out for a year, and still dont have many things unlocked. It takes the fun out of the game after awhile. A game like this should be rewarding players for doing good, not dangling the rewards on a hook. Idk. I think this game can be so much better if they just reward players with more stuff.
And I'm not saying make it free. Have players play the game and get rewarded with crafting materials after each match. That's not giving it away free. That's players playing the game to grind for it in a fun way. Anything that costs the players time out of thier day by just playing the game, isn't free. They are taking the time to play the game. And a lot of game studios have lost sight of that fact.
They could just play another game and leave Apex alone. But they decided to play Apex. So players should be rewarded more for thier time.- @TheTechGenius You have to purchase COD and BF... this game is FREE and you do get rewards for doing well, you’ll level up and get apex packs which give you a chance at premium content and crafting materials.
