Collection events gambling started the slow death of this game.

Gambling packs have single handedly given this beautiful game the lethal injection. It seems like apex comes out with many innovative ways to take people’s money, collection events are the only reason they update the game, everything revolves around money. I understand it’s a free to play game, I’ve spent money on this game but I cannot get myself to crank the game on and be forced to play the same sweaty games regardless of the mode over ad over. No sandbox no other option to just crank the game and have a chill time. No fun ranked experience, no innovation in the ranked rewards for my time spent grinding. 5 years later no one cares about a badge, the community outgrew badges.

EA made respawn betray the playerbase by forcing to bring back old skins just to make more money even collecting event skins, soon they will bring back the buster sword, they said it was only a one time opportunity and it will never be back, lies.

People will spend money if they are having fun, you just have to have the shop open and people will buy, you can’t force collection events after collecting event to players for 5 years forcing them to gamble and spend $260+ if they want a heirloom and expect them to keep coming back.

Abuse of the player base and milking them to death have caused anyone that had love and passion for this game to just lose hope and move on.

The only reason I stay around is because of competitive ALGS but I see the decline on that because respawn and ea won’t supports orgs like they should.

RIP
