RP and AP Thought
Apex is a team game with lots of plyer individuality. Emphasis is currently placed on individual skill. RP is awarded for Kills and assists and of course placement. How many times have you had a gam...

@Asmodeus566 I only say it in terms of how easy it is to exploit. Currently farming kills to get RP requires you to get into the same game, collect mobile beacons and Respawning itself takes a lot of time while also signalling to the whole map that you are using multiple beacons. And that's a lot of time.
Farming revives is so easy compared to that. Revive, get knocked, revive get knocked and so on. Effort and time wise, it's a lot easier. You don't even need a second squad to get into your game to do any of this. Just use nades.
Maybe RP for only Respawn can be the middle ground here, I have been chased from Skyhook to Epicenter in the name of retrieving banners so I understand it can be quite stressful and time consuming to go find a safe location to Respawn, more so when enemy teams are spread out across the map.

Now that sounds reasonable. I see your point with exploiting the revive and how only allowing for RP for respawning would work.
Considering that FF is turned off for weapons wouldn't it also be possible for friendly nade damage be turned off as well to negate your mentioned exploit. I am sure EA could do that. I don't know if that should be done though but well it is a possibility.
If EA ever considered my suggestion for awarding RP for revives and respawns and incorporated it into gameplay they should most definitely consider the exploitation factors you and others have voiced concern over and the suggested ways to nullify and or absolutely minimize the risk.
Thank you very much for the very interesting exchange of views and argumentation BaldWraithisHOt.
