To be honest the amount of money I have spent on apex packs has been £350 it’s not a great decision it’s a win or loose situation Apex has u hooked on a addiction until u win basically and it’s wise to not spend all ur money on something because like I said it’s a win loose don’t make my mistake, so all I have to offer is Apex really needs to lower the price of the heirloom cost it’s overpriced and is a bad habit for the younger audience also for a free game they shouldn’t make it a gambling game for a rare digital item it’s ridiculous.edit: I understand that it is a bad habit gambling I do not encourage anyone doing this I only did this because I have the money left over I just went into some money I shouldn’t have, so do not buy as much as I did it’s a scam, overpriced scam.

@TostedToast5I once spent $10 on this game, to reward Respawn for the first Winter Express LTM. I don't remember or care what they gave me in exchange for my ten bucks. That wasn't why I gave them the money.So what I don't understand, and have never understood (so please help me out here if you can) is why anyone would spend money on a free-to-play game for any reason other than to support the developer. What are you getting for your money? The right to complain that your rng "rewards" were not the rewards you wanted? That your "digital trinkets" were not worth what you spent? How could they ever be? They're worthless on the face of it. They make your character or your guns, who no one but you can see, look different. You can't eat them. You can't trade them. You can't sell them. Their value after purchase is ZERO. Why do people do this? I don't understand it.

@TostedToast5 So you knew that gaming loot boxes are a form of gambling yet spent large amounts on money on a "chance" of getting an heirloom? Please be careful next time with your financial decisions or you might need help if this is an urge that you can't stop.

@TostedToast5 Um....you received digital packs.....that's not nothing. Each pack contained digital rewards....that's not nothing.

I'd love to see how you feel taking a girl out on a date the first time and not even get a hug or kiss goodbye.

I Appreciate peoples attention to bad habits but something has to either be done about the prices or the chance of a rare item to avoid people giving a ridiculous amount of money for one thing

If I am permitted to share my opinion.
The information was there, you should've been aware of the risks.
It's not even an investment, there is no trading market so you wouldn't even be able to gain any money back from it.
It would've been reasonable to put it in stocks in an attempt to get more money back, though you decided to just gamble it away for digital content.
You should only gamble with money you can get rid of, if you start using money that you need for daily life then that's an issue.
Typically this is due to lack of knowledge, rationale or because they're addicted to gambling.
You decided to play extremely risky and you lost, this is nothing that the company should adjust for.
Though I do hope that you learn from this experience, life isn't always fair, make sure to make rational decisions when it comes down to money.

@TostedToast5People need to expect they won't get an heirloom until pack 500. This is the price of an heirloom.
This is like complaining you don't win megamillions.

@TostedToast5 spending $500 to get an heirloom is not a win. It's more like regret lol.

@reconzero You might not enjoy it, but tons of people do it because it's fun. It's like going to a casino and gambling, people do it because it's entertainment. I'm like you, I don't care for rng. I like to invest and receive a reward in return.

Maybe we should just all be a little more Belgian and go: "Pay for loot boxes in video games? Naaaaw, son, that **** ain't gonna fly no more."
Although I agree with recon, I too have only spent them 10 bucks and see no point in paying for something that has no value, at least not as long as it cost those ridiculous prices. Again: Friday the 13th, costume pack for ALL characters: 2.5 euros.
