Over pricing, gambling, economical ethic's, consumerism for skins and add-on ect

I'm legitimately not trying to bag cause this is such a great game and I know they gotta make money this way seens it's free... However!

9.99 for only 1,000 gold material coins.... And any legendary skin on it's it' to buy separate is 1,800 gold coins even unique is high.

Then there's the 19.99 package with give u 2,000 plise extrea 350 or 250 gold coins.......basically u want that legendary skin that 1 and only legendary skin.....gotta spend 20$..well * that's a straight SCAM....and safely EA your going off people ignorance on economical fairness inside this legit gambling n over priced items system EA uses, with no real reward for our earned real world  money.

Also when you first started the game the True APEX PLAYER who played and still do to this day from day one and Maxed out level they don't even get any creates ....{Plus the upgrade on rewards for newer players now max m I mlayer didn't even get chance nowto get!) Now the Hunt Event was a beta for the mission completion for said item.... Even doe that's gonna be implimented we only got 4 items for ???X??? Amount of time in-between has to be a weekly challenge board to give us something to go forin game... or atlease 2 weeks (not recommended for ea).

Saddly all of ea has been doing this for almost all of thier games... And other company's like epic and fortnite for example.... however fortnite got its rewards system pretty 👌 cause how much u get and because you can get and the ONE AND ONLY IN-GAME CURRENCY $$$ that can get u anything in game if u earn points in game due to somwhat skill n mission completion even get anouther season pass if you play enough n grind on some quest to get next season battle pass, n get Alot of skins or emotes ECT.

Basically EA u need to drop the prices or make it so we get Alot more gold coins currency from buying APEX CHESTS! Then gambling on ticks witch is gambling FACT, and in casinos they have 7-10% win rate setting always on idk if ea does with 10% win rate or just blowing 20$ for 1 skin.... All of this is like getting Cancer but u only get a cupcake...lol... It's a greedy system and it needs to change

Give max level plays loot tick for every 5 extrea levels you earn  maxed, lower legendary and uniqe prices down by a very decent amount....but also make it so we can go higher then the current Max level

Apex chest over price with no real reward back...it's a rip off sorry. Season one battle pass was rush and didn't give you much wasn't even worth the over priced buy...can't even earn alottle in game currency to go towards new season pass even though u GRINDED THE WHOLE SEASON 1 PASS....

Yet again not trying to bag but this is targeting ignorant players, rich, and kid players.... And no normal person me included is gonna spend 20$ for 1 freaking skin a SKIN......  Also used in basically all of EA games...

Check out this link about this topic he better then me at explaining it!!! Lol https://youtu.be/RSyUgTCIkA0    still love apex but this is not ok on a economical, consumerism, and ethical point of view.... Lose 100's of dollors for a cupcake or 2, https://youtu.be/PTLFNlu2N_M

  • @heme725Lol I know long comment if you watch the link it will explain it better then I could over this, but yeah I'm one of them.  However I \ we\ decent amount of player got real world stuff to Spend money on cant be spending unreasonable amount of money for 1 skin, no that no matter how dedicated I am to apex.  Also yeah like the mission's in the HUNT Event I do hope they continue that next season atlease to start 👍

    Don't get me wrong some companies are doing these boxes in a very rip off manner but I don't see it in apex.

    For free you get close to 50 boxes to fill out your characters, that's plenty and if you want a few more put some money in, seems fair to me.


    Any lootbox system is a straight ripoff, especially if there is no form of being able to buy what you want straight up at any time beyond the "weekly featured shop". They are designed to incentivize you to gamble in the lootbox system in hopes you either get the item you want or get enough of the random materials to be able to buy one. It's shady crap and it's time we stop supporting these garbage practices.

    Why is it shady? That's the system some games use. Pay for a choice or pay for a surprise..Like @Huntinwabits  said...Don't want it, don't buy it...plain n' simple. Nobody is getting ripped off 'cause they like that format. Some whine cause they can't choose exactly what they want. Well tough S@@@, That's the ways it is and that's how the game is implementing it.  Is your mother gambling when she buys you that box of cereal with a "SURPRISE INSIDE"?  🤔

    @Katsura_KokoroThey might possibly offer that in ranked as well...who knows...it might change

    If you can't see how lootbox systems are shady, then I can't help you bud.
  • It seems to me that the skins are no less important than the game itself because it is the skins and characters that complement each game with the brightness and juiciness of the plot. This happens even in a casino if you take it as an example. Last year, my friend was very interested in poker, slot machines and roulette, so he got me involved in this activity. I really liked gambling, especially I like to play at a good online casino with a wide variety of games and fast payouts. If you are interested you can find more here
