Yup, I really don't know what the answer is. I've played Marathon which is about 80% looting and 20% fighting and I absolutely hated it - though not exclusively for that reason. And Apex has shifted over the years to about 10% looting and 90% fighting and I hate that too. Maybe even more. Don't know why 50/50 is considered undesirable or impossible. I would have said that early seasons proved it was neither, but here we are with a meta that makes looting virtually meaningless and the only thing you need for success is blinding speed and the kind of accuracy you buy. And truth be told, if you've bought your accuracy then you could probably even get by without the blinding speed. It's a sad pass.
