@recker291 There have been suggestions for various uses of the legend tokens. Perhaps we'll see something in the near future.
That said, the game is very fair. None of the premium content impacts game play. The game is literally free to play and you don't have to spend any money to play it. They also give you a TON of free apex packs from levels 0-500 which will get you at least some premium content. You'll get 199 apex packs completely free if you make it to level 500, those packs alone are worth $199. You should get a few legendary items out of those packs. You'll also get a decent amount of crafting materials.
You can also get free premium content by completing the various challenges in the game (you'll get some nice skins if you complete the treasure quest).
The premium content is how EA generates revenue to support the game. It funds everything from the servers, to support staff, to game development. Keep in mind that EA/Respawn have to pay people to make this content.
