Where is the actual gameplay besides looting?
When I play an FPS game, I just want to shoot other players and develop my combat skills. In Apex, however, I find that I am spending all of my time waiting for a game to start, waiting to land, loo...

@Tad844 Well, you see it the way you see it, but I have to say that I think the developers understand their game very well. And EA's announcement to shareholders that the game is a cash cow suggests that most players don't hate the formula. What I don't understand is why players who crave a simpler and faster-paced game don't just go and play a simpler and faster-paced game, from which there are so many to choose. Including an arena mode in this very game. Honestly, if this game feels like a loot simulator to you then it's time for a little Halo. And trust me when I say, unless you have a legit adhd diagnosis or an IQ in the double digits, then you'll be back.
@reconzero Apex has some core elements which elevate it above the rest, such as movement, gunplay, ttk. Once you've played apex, everything else feels like garbage. I just want the devs to stick to the fast paced fps game that apex is. But apparently they make more money out of it if they keep building on the loot simulator/ pve aspect of it.
It is easier and more profitable to add a new legend, a new weapon and a ton of new skins every season instead of fixing game breaking bugs/glitches/servers or the sound.

Sorry, not seeing that at all. The thing I personally like about battle royale is the flexibility it offers the player - it can be any kind of game you want it to be - fast or slow, hot or cold, shooter or looter. If you try to make it all one way and not the other then suddenly it's just Call of Duty with a different aesthetic. Or so says me.- @reconzero there is content videos of p2w apex skins.
you need to relax a bit, and back off thinking respawn cares about you or how much fun you have@Gatorbaker
1. Please feel free to link to that video.
2. Thanks for the call to relaxation.
3. Thanks for helping me to realize that a for-profit company cares more about profit than about my personal gaming experience. I didn't already know that because I'm a teenager who isn't a psychologist.
What I do know, because I'm both older and smarter than you seem to think, is that no game developer cares about the experience of any single gamer. They care about the aggregate player experience. You could look that word up if you're unfamiliar with it. And their ability to fine tune that aggregate experience is why Andrew Wilson is a millionaire many times over and you are not. Oops, did I just make an assumption about you based on absolutely nothing whatsoever? My bad....
- @reconzero But this is the issue with the new ranked. Theyve made it so you need to play it slow. Fighting before top 8 is dumb so you loot for 15 minutes before fighting.
- @hayhor You can't do that because once you get to top 8, everyone will be with red shields and full loot waitting to 3rd party someone. Unless you get really lucky by 3rd partying someone yourself then you aren't going to win a fair 3v3 against similar skilled opponents with better loot/shields than you.
You need to fight at the start until you have enough loot to last you to endgame.
