New Season, Same Terrible BP System
So, as we all know, nothing really changed with the BP since that S7 update to this new system. And, well. It's still terrible, in my opinion. If you're not burning through those challenges left and ...

@JonStriker126 If it is a game you like to play, no it doesnt seem grindy. Most gamers game more than that in a week.

Fair enough. But I would argue that one of the things to "like" about some games, find fun/enjoyable, is leveling up and earning things (in Apex's case, BP levels and cosmetics).
There are players that like playing games that have a good sense/pace of progression and rewards for doing so. And I just don't feel the new BP system's sense of progression is well paced. It feels sluggish/grindy to me.
And, honestly, for me, thats an important part of a game. It's not just about the "shooty shooty bang bang" for me. I feel like everything in Apex matters. Core gameplay matters, lore matters, cosmetics matter, etc. If they didn't, then we would just be playing grey blobs with no looks or personality (basically, Fire Range dummies). But, we're not. It's all there for a reason.
And I have issues with one of the "puzzle pieces" that make Apex, Apex, to me. And, as much as I like the core game play and the comics and the Legend personalities and voice lines and all that, sometimes the game just doesn't feel good to play, because the progression on the BP feels sluggish. And I don't like how it's done.
Basically, for better or worse, I do play this game partly for the cosmetics. And I don't think that's a bad thing. So, when there are issues (in my opinion) with the system in which we aquire said cosmetics, it impacts my liking of the game and the enjoyment I have with it. It's just how it is for me (and some others) that play and invest time and/or money in this game.
