Is Anyone Else Concerned About The New S7 BP System?

Yes, I know we don't know everything about it yet, but I can see how going from our current XP system to this "simplified" and "streamlined" Challenges and Stars system could be problematic.

You see, as it stands right now, you can complete a Battle Pass by just playing the game. You don't need to do Daily or Weekly Challenges to finish the pass. Do they help? Absolutely. But they are not necessary. Apex rewards you for just playing the game, no matter what weapons or legends you use and I feel that's a good thing.

This Challenge system could potentially ruin that. Imagine in S7 the only way to get BP levels in game is to play legends you don't like, use weapons you don't care for, and/or have to complete really grindy tasks (such as "10K damage with X weapon", as we've seen before). 

While I will reserve judgement of it, until we see it in action (obviously), the idea of it does concern me. While the amount of XP needed can be a bit of a grind (Especially at those higher 45K and 54K levels), at least every time I finish a game, I feel like I'm working toward my BP. It doesn't matter what legend I was playing, what weapon I was using, if I placed 20th, 15th, or 1st. In the current system, every time you play, you are at least earning something. Challenges just helped the experience along.

But, in a Challenge only system, I could easily see someone getting frustrated or discouraged if they are given challenges with weapons they don't like to use, legends they don't like to play, and so on. Making them just feel like they've wasted their time (and potentially money) on the game.

I don't know. Like I said, I will reserve judgment until we see it in action, but I do see the potential pitfalls of this S7 BP system. They say they are doing this to make everything more "simplified" and "streamlined". And that may be true, and it might work out really well. But I can also see how a system like this could lead to frustration and discouragement. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what they do with it.
