Have you bought a loot crate yet

I want to but the big issue with this game is now it punishes players for investing more and more time in the game. With Apex Packs first given out every level to eventually every 3rd, 5th, 10th and when you're at level 100 you no longer get any. This feels too much like pushing players towards in game purchases and thats a huge no no

No and I will never buy loot crates and support gambling, skins and other cosmetics would be fine if they weren't so overpriced.

Come on..10 euros for a banner thats usable only on ONE champion?

Yes. 
Spent about $80 on Apex coins thus far. 

Well outof the free 20 pack i opened, litterly nothing is being used so far.  Everything is for legends i have never used or simply dont use.  

With such crappy rates [ which isnt RNG ] I dont even think about spending money on it.

And to be honest, its stupid things like this that will make this game fail.  Nobody with a healthy mind with buy that crap...nobody.

And your experience with determining the success and lack of with games is attributed to...?

no it doesn't.  I got 1000 coins for origin access.  I unlocked mirage with the 850 or whatever.  Then I played till level 23, and had enough to purchase caustic.  

The only real reason to spend money would be to get a character.  At least, to ensure you get some form of return on your investment right?  

I'll buy a pack when they release the next wave of heros or the new map.  I'll do it because the game is F2P and I've certainly gotten my moneys worth out of it, so I have no issue dropping $20 or $30 to support the devs.  Otherwise, there is literally no reason to spend the money unless you want the sparkly * that has ZERO impact on the game.  That isn't "pushing you to purchase packs".  It would be pushing you to purchase packs if exclusive guns were available or something like that.  Not just skins.  I have 25 hours and several wins into this game and haven't spent a dime.
