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...

@chrisragnar I am talking about the proportions of time spent looting versus the time spent in combat, and what that represents in terms of valid gameplay, to each player and as a community as a whole.
To me, it represents an enormous amount of time spent looting. What I come here for is combat. Because it's a BR, I expect to do some looting. But in Apex there is far too much of one and not enough of the other. The balance is grotesquely disproportianate towards looting for the majority of players, I would think.
If you stacked all the loot you had collected up against all the dead bodies you'd made, you would see a planet-sized stack of loot and only an aircraft hangar full of corpses (at best).
I actually checked our stats, and as long as I was looking at the right accounts, we are actually quite similar. We are each nearly level 400 and each have less than 1,300 kills (lifetime stats). Which is even worse than I thought.
What are we doing with our time whilst in-game? Oh, yes - looting.
But looting can, and frequently does, ruin teamwork. It often leads to teams being split up or players get annoyed about loot for some reason, etc. We've all been there.
I just want the balance redressed.
For all I care, they could have a game mode where all you do is collect loot - if that's what players want. Then whoever collects the most stuff wins. Perhaps, in a way, we're already there.
And, as I said, I'm going to be persevering with Apex for the time being. I've played lots of games and I know they differ. I like Apex and would like all this looting condensed a lot.

@warslag But that just sounds like a player culture problem then a game system problem. As I said you decide how much you loot.
I usually just pick up a gun and ammo then I head to my first engagement.
