Legend character give-away

My son wrote this letter to express his feelings about the new give-away of the three Apex Legend characters. 

To Whom It May Concern:



I’m writing to express my thoughts and feelings about your anniversary give-away of Octane, Wattson, and Valkyrie. I don’t think it’s fair that people that just started to play the game get to have the same characters for free that I had to work hard for.  Everyone who earned them had to work hard and spend our apex coins or legend tokens and didn’t get any sort of refund or compensation.  The people that spent time trying to get these characters did it for the advantage in the game and to remove that advantage without any compensation is unfair to the people who worked hard for them.  My biggest problem with it is that many more people will be able to play as my favorite Legend, Valkyrie. When she was more rare, I could still be the third player to choose and still have a good chance to get Valkyrie. Now it is much less likely that I will be able to play as the character I worked hard to get.

Although refunding apex coins doesn’t help with some of the issues I addressed above, I think it is the least you could do to make up for this decision. I think we should be refunded 750 apex coins for every Legend we already had that was given for free. I had all three. 

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Sincerely,

Charlie DiMeglio

  • @ykgcnhIt’s better for the game for more people to have more legends to pick from to complement other legends (hypothetically). Respawn also made a good selection of legends in my opinion to give. 

    Lastly, other people gaining things doesn’t mean you lost something. This also applies to other things in life. Next time just don’t pay for legends using apex coins Charlie and Dad/Mom. Hope you’re enjoying your day. 😄

  • @ykgcnh This is a good lesson that many times things you buy go on sale or giveaways. This is a way of life. Use it as a teaching moment.

    Right now he is probably frustrated people keep picking his character to try out. This will not last. Eventually people will get bored and go back to other characters. He should have backup characters he enjoys. The other option is no filling into the game. Then he can always be the character he wants to be.
  • I actually agree a bit, they could make is so if you had the legend from before you got a legend legendary apex pack instead, and you would be compensated because you put in the hard work to unlock the legend in the first place :D Perhaps you could get a sweet skin instead ^^

    Or rather I dont know if this is the case or not as I pretty much have more legend tokens then I know what to do with atm. But in general get a little good job credit for already opened the legend in the first place. I have to admit (yes I opened all mine with legend tokens) Its quite a bit of work opening each legend when you do it the proper way. avg around 50 kills pr unlock it seems.

    But yes dont use apex coins to unlock legends 🙂
