Rant on why I'm beginning to hate this game

I don't know if I'm in the same boat as anybody else in here but I was watching some clips from about a year ago and things were pretty different.  I don't know if I'm getting worse or others are get...

    "You are asking somebody to pay as much money for a skin as you would an entire AAA game."

    But that's kinda the point: they're ASKING. You don't have to buy the skin to play the game, and if you do you won't play any better. Game play is still free. Always has been. Always will be. Buy cosmetics, if you must at all, because you want to support the developer. Not because you're looking for some kind of value proposition. There isn't one, no matter how cheap they get.

@ematt84 It's possible the caustic you encountered was tap strafing. Some new quick strafing technique that's only available to pc players.

    @XxColdFangxX I don't know if you are being sarcastic but it wasn't tap strafing. It was moving fast while he was crouching. Faster than you'd think but not super cheater fast. It was as if he had an octane stim or something but crouching.

      @ematt84Wasn't being sarcastic at all so..
      It's just something new I've been hearing about, I don't know much about it yet.

      All I know is it makes you strafe quickly. Didn't know if it could be applied to crouching or not, because you said "he was crouching and strafing."

        I think it's valid to not spend on cosmetics while still taking issue with predatory costs at the same time.  Personally, I'm quite put off by this month's gimmick of offering nice new skins while bundle locking them to make them cost a bare minimum of 2500 coins.  The skins really ought to be also sold stand-alone for 1800 as usual.  Also, the glacial pace of change in this month's store is really annoying IMO.  I didn't need or want entire pages of the store devoted to one single legend for a whole week at a time.

        I coughed up for the Ash skin bundle, but it didn't feel good being forced to take it along with 10 Apex packs for $25.  If the bundle locking had been less emphasized, I might have spent more this month.

        A reason to "hate the game," though?  That's putting things a little strongly.  Nothing here is PTW like in several other games I could think of.
