The way we can get items during each event has been improving from event to event. Way better than other games. For that reason I'm sticking to Apex and saying goodbye to the COD franchise. There's just one issue I have now that I would like to see changed in the near future.....
Once you've made it to level 100 and we make it all the way through the battle pass there's no way to continue to get cosmetics. There are so many cosmetic items (character skins, weapon skins, tracker stats, backgrounds, now key chains, etc.) and no way to get them unless you purchase loot bots and get random items. This needs to be changed IMO. Having the loot bots being random items we should be able to get them in game for free somehow. I feel it should be changed so that once you make it through the battle pass, every time you complete 10 daily challenges you get a loot bot. That would make me want to get on every day to complete some challenges so I can get that loot bot as often as I can. I've been at level 100 since season 1 and after I make it through the battle pass there's nothing else to really work toward. I still enjoy playing but I like working towards a goal. There's so many cosmetic items that it would still take a very long time to unlock everyone, and more can be added as the game goes on. Having crafting metals in the loot bots would make it so that not every single item is random, after we save to what we want we can use our crafting metals to unlock something specific. Also making it so that you get the loot bots by doing daily challenges there is a cap on how many you can get between battle passes since there's only 3 daily challenges a day. Getting 1 loot bot every 4 days at best is not unreasonable for someone that gets on and plays daily. And this only being after the battle pass has been completed would probably make me be inclined to purchase the extra 25 battle pass levels so I could get through the battle pass faster to get back to the loot bots so I could maximize the amount of items I'm able to get between battle passes. Right now there's no reason to purchase the extra 25 levels because even with missing days I can still make it through the battle pass and still have to wait weeks before the next one.
Some people have mentioned that we need the leveling up to go on past 100. I thought about that too but some people play so much that they would level up so fast that they would unlock everything so fast that they would eventually be back to where we are now. Getting loot bots by doing daily challenges keeps people coming back daily, even if only for a few games to do those challenges, and has a cap on how many you can get. This would stretch it out further which is giving to the community but also not forcing the devs to constantly make new cosmetics to keep up with people getting every cosmetic in a short amount of time.
