Heirlooms

@ALLGREY001  Well i appreciate the insults you've just fired my way, as all you've actually managed to do is shine a spotlight on your own ignorance.

Had it not occurred to you that some of us have enough excess cash that we can afford to buy these heirlooms without any financial concern?

If you don't agree with the prices that's fine don't purchase content, but demeaning others just because they're willing to is pretty ridiculous frankly.

@MandatoryIDtagI am not trying to offend thats your own fault. I am just telling the truth. Thats clearly the marketed target audience for these type of things. Do some research on whales and relieve your own ignorance rather than be defensive all the time and not self aware.

@ALLGREY001  The market is anyone who will pay it the same as anything else. I'm sure you've made an abundance of impulse purchases in your life that would not be considered a necessity so do me a favour and jump off your high horse before you go making stupid remarks.

Anyway i'm done with you, don't bother replying lol.

@ALLGREY001 You don't need to insult to get your argument across, especially when you're partially wrong.

While the Apex model does target whales that doesn't make them ''stupid, weak or impulsive'' because as @Jimmahwd stated, some people have enough money to burn and paying £50/60 for a new game to get 80hrs enjoyment when many players have had many hundreds if not thousands of hrs in Apex then throwing a couple hundred bucks Respawns way isn't entirely unreasonable. Especially when that portion of the player base is effectively paying for everyone else to enjoy it for free.

My issues are three things mainly,

1, The ONLY way you could get wraiths kunai was through  ''surprise mechanics'' loot boxes whatever you want to call it, it's still gambling. 

2, Paywall structure. To purchase loads of rubbish to get the one item you want is ridiculous.

3, The game is a ESRB rating: Teen.  Which affectively allows minors and vulnerable people to gamble as the only option to purchase said cosmetics. Which is wrong. Period.

That is why laws in several countries are changing to face this reality.

If this was rated 18+ my view would be totally different.

Now both of you play nice! 

@apostolateofDOOM  No need to play nice, i blocked him lol. Pretty sure if it was in reverse and i was calling non paying players freeloading scrubs(not my opinion just an example) he wouldn't have appreciated it.

I do agree that the fact that wraiths heirloom is purely dependent on surprise mechanics is BS though, especially with the ever increasing pool of possible heirlooms. You've got something ridiculous like a 0.25% of actually getting at the moment i think? Which will only get worse with each progressive event.
