Why can't you get packs after hitting level 500

So it's not worth rewarding those players that put time and effort in apex and forcing them to buy packs or making a new account to have hope of feeling having heirloom. When the only thing left rewarding is to get a team that actually plays like a team it really doesn't feel inviting anymore. Apex legends is the best battle royale by far but taking away the purpose/grind behind the paywall isn't the right thing and hopefully there is changes coming to that before or at season 7.

    @DoYaSeeMe They add a new legend every season. They added a new weapon this season. They added holosprays. Lots of stuff has been added you can pack.

    @II-LAZZARUS-II"the best loot out of these apex boxes, is from lvl 1-300 after that, crafting materials are in 2 out of 3 boxes"

    This. They barely have the loot pool for these boxes to make the current system worth while. I think, like Overwatch, they should be granting an Apex Pack per level. Overwatch goes up to level 100, then lets you prestige 4 times...so basically 500 levels. They have the loot pool to support this though. Overwatch loot boxes aren't loaded down with common skins and stat trackers.  I think at top level you keep cycling a level and getting a loot box, but I'm not sure about that part.

  • @hayhor Well, a legend has like 40-50 skins (exclusive ones included), a weapon less than that. 100 packs( for climbing 500 levels) require up to 300 rewards. Some Apex trackers do count the uncapped level and some players are well over 3000 by now, that's more than 630 packs. Add the extra LTM, battlepass and quest packs, then factor in the chances or guarantees of receiving higher tier rewards... Already feels like this would affect sales seriously and make the content draught feel much worse.

    Another thing that very few think about: performance costs. There's more and more stuff to be loaded for each match. In theory, a match should have to hold up to 60 legend skins, up to 60 banners, up to 60 skydive emotes, up to 1440 weapons skins (24 weapons x 60 players), hundreds of quips, countless charms, badges, now sprays... I'm beginning to seriously doubt that the minimum requirements PC is able to run a fully loaded match without making it a slideshow or die with a BSOD at the moment of the drop. I stopped wondering a long time ago why there are so many issues with the game.
  • This game is fun and all but seriously yall stop rewarding us after we hit 500?? Like seriously we put hard work into this game just to get tokens for skins?? That’s stupid because we spend hours upon hours grinding this game for literally nothing now. They need to start rewarding us after we hit 500 because I’m beyond sick and tired of getting nothing after hitting 500.  They need to fix this because I’m so close to giving up on this game because now we play for nothing. This game needs better content and better nerfs for guns. They don’t listen to the community whatsoever and it’s dumb. They only pay attention to the pro plates and no one else. Fix the leveling system because I will not spend money just to buy packs when I grind this game for hours per day. I’m now level 620 and I haven’t seen a single apex pack besides the ones from the battle pass. And honesty if this doesn’t get fixed I’m done with apex. This is bull crap and they need to start rewarding us with packs after 500 because seriously we play for nothing now and I’m sitting over here with over 130,000 legend tokens.just for nothing I level up every 2 games and it’s honestly a waste.

    They used to, but someone complained about getting apex packs when they didnt need to have them anymore (back in the day of one heirloom), shortly after there were no more apex packs after lvl 500, sad yes, very sad.... A bit of reality needs to kick in because people wont by all the Heirlooms, its just too expensive - only streamers will do this or people who get it granted from EA/Respawn. If you keep ticking thousands and thousands of hours in the game you are contributing to keeping the game alive so I think it would be fair to get an apex pack every 5 or 10 levels or so as it was in the start, most of the players at 500 spent a great deal on the game already and should be awarded for their loyalty so yes I agree.
