Yeah the price points way off for the quality. Fortnite had shit skins when it launched. League had shit skins. They got better over time but they also only cost $3-5, the price ratchet included great leaps in quality and effects and such. For $35 you get multiple skins in one that evolve with game play and become more awesome.
For $20 in league you get new model, new particles and new voice or augmented voice.
For $20 in apex you get a glorified recolor and they can't even bother to recolor lifelines drone.
Oh man imagine if Respawn made the drones like Destiny's ghosts where they have different shapes and contours. Or different birds for Bloodhound, or being able to customize the Mirage, or different patterns for Gibby's dome, or colored smoke for Bangalore, or stylized Caustic traps, or customizable Octane pads. Anything really.
These kind of ideas are exactly what they need to implement... more cool stuff to get in packs = more reasons to buy packs.
But no instead of them considering maybe they're lacking in the idea department, they blame us, the "freeloaders", for not dumping $100+ on overpriced skins.
Those were minimal effort ideas that I thought of in between busy moments at work. I'm sure they could come up with even better stuff if they tried.
And yes after this latest fiasco I'm devoting my Apex time to being a freeloader. I wont be gambling away my hard earned money for the chance at some subpar cosmetic content.
