So I think of 2 things when you mention this.
1) Anytime I am enjoying a game, I will put money into the game. If you make it to level 100, you clearly are enjoying the fruits of the labor to make this FREE game. Why not throw some money at it?
2) Because it is free for us, doesnt mean it is free for them to make.
I understand some are under mom and dad's wallet but I just can't stand this way of thinking. The season pass comes out in March, who knows what that might bring in the form of Apex packs. I personally enjoy the grind and know as long as the game seems to be supported by the devs and responses made to hacking, etc. I will 100% put money into this game.
In the grand scheme of it all, this game has been out a microsecond. Would you have rather paid $60 one time for this? Overall, this game has a lot to offer us in such a short amount of time compared to its counterparts.
I generally agree with you. I am fine paying some money for a free game I like but Apex packs is the biggest scam in lootbox history. They are clearly lying on their % chances since I only get a legendary after 30 boxes and 1-2 epics at the same time. After getting to level 55 i purchased around 45 packs + 5 today from Twitch Prime. I got 1 legendary. And if my calculations are correct I will get my next pity timer legendary in my next lootbox. This is beyond ridiculous. Also so far, through all my leveling and payed packs I got 700 crafting materials. Not even close to enough to buy a legendary banner of my choice. I play bangalore and don't have a single epic/leg item for her. This is the video of my first 21 lootboxes opening that i paid to see that I am not lying.
I see a lot of points on both sides of the discussion, I'm very glad that the game is F2P as that lets people hop right in and see for themselves if the game is worth it or not. I'm eager to see what the season pass options are going to include, in particular I want to know if there will be any kind of changes to the time investment aspect of the game. I love this game so far and I plan to play till 100 and drop some money here and there on pay day BUT one thing that is very important to me is feeling like you're earning or accomplishing something each time you play. If there was a lootbox for every X that you take the game after 100 that would keep me much more entertained than hitting 100, realizing that there's not very much incentive for putting time into the game other than just playing the matches. I know there are a large amount of people out there who feel that games with a carrot on a stick approach like that keep people interested much longer than simply playing the game as is with no incentives other than paying for them.
The store is overpriced, and people enjoy the game and want to unlock content (skins for the game) but it is a rip off. That is why their complaint is valid. Your comment however is pretty dense. You're stating "It is not pay 2 win there for a company should be able to charge whatever they want for the unlockable content". That makes zero sense. Companies can charge whatever they want for their product. And customers can also complain about the prices. I do not see the issue here. It is just cause and effect.

- Jesus you suck at rng. I'm about level 40 had a few epics and legendary and got 700 crafting and spent 0 on the game so far. Ots the best fun I've had for 0 pounds in my entire gaming life. Epic game. And I look forward to seeing what the battle pass offers so I can reward the guys who made the game by buying it.
- And to the comment above me no one loves being ripped off and exploited. If you feel that way about a free to play game with 0 pay to win you need to take a look at yourself. You are clearly getting upset about not being able to get a pixel outfit for your pixel character. Get over it or buy loot boxes to support the game. No one's breaking your arm to do it.
