Why can't you get packs after hitting level 500

Most people that play often have reached lvl 500 by now so I wouldn't be surprised if we see some progression changes soon.

@tictacg2  "it's not worth rewarding those players that put time and effort in apex"  time and effort for what?

"Apex legends is the best battle royale by far" fortnite and warzone are ahead on twitch, by far

there's no point to play 24/7 and that's why most players are faaaaar from reaching lvl 500 = that's why there's no need for a lvl cap increase

@NaRnIaaaThe current max level is 500 and has been out since December 2019 this took them 8 months from release to increase the level cap. Therefore, Apex Legends players are due for another increase as they have waited even longer than when the original increase was set and is around 10+ months.

@MajesticClaw  I wouldn't assume there's a logical timeline in play with this to be honest.

Back during the previous level cap raise it was incredibly rare to see a player below 100, so the cap increase was kind of a necessity. 

We haven't yet reached that stage with the current cap.

@MandatoryIDtag 

If you are earning around 3000xp per 15mins you can get level 500 in 35ish days and that is assuming you are only getting one level per day, I am sure enough that there are loads of level 500s just as much as there were level 100s It is more of a case of newer players.

@MajesticClaw  As it would have been back then lol, the point is there is still quite an influx of new players and 500 takes much longer to reach. So the necessity for another cap increase will be quite low on their agenda.

Not that I'm against a cap increase or anything....who doesn't want free loot packs?

Level cap is meant to prevent content burnout. They will probably come up with a cap increase in the near future, when there's enough content ready to cover the extra free packs awarded.
