I've noticed as some players have been hitting level 100 the common complaint has been there are no more rewards like Apex packs after hitting level 100. At this point the only way to continue unlocking skins or Crafting metals is paying for loot boxes. This is something I believe to be an incredibly bad idea. Here are some suggestions i'll add below to give level 100 players rewards to still work towards. I've bought the Founders pack, Starters pack and played for 100 hours already and feel i've barely gotten too many skins and not even enough crafting metals to make a decent skin yet.
* Daily challenges - Much like every other BR these days except rewarding Apex packs 1-3 packs depending on difficulty of the challenge
* Either keep the level cap at 100 for each season but allow players to grind XP to unlock Apex Packs while at max level. Either that or allow them to "Prestige up" and reset their level to 1.
* Add "Legend levels" where you can level up your favorite legends to unlock character specific skins/poses/banners/finishers/stats etc.
* Reward players for winning a match with 1 Apex Pack, 50 Crafting Metals, 100 Legend Tokens - Champions deserve to be rewarded right?
Leave your thoughts and feedback below and hopefully the Devs see this feedback and make a few tweaks. Share any ideas of your own, they don't have to implement them all but hopefully if we throw enough mud maybe some will stick.

Firstly, I agree, we need something to do once we hit level 100. There should be no cap, just a prestige where it resets and you can work towards earning apex packs again. That by itself would be more than enough imo for a free-to-play game.
I don't think rewarding an Apex Pack for winning is a good idea. However, rewarding something like 50 crafting metals and some legends tokens (after all, your legend just won the apex legends BR) is a great idea. This would allow you to slowly build up and purchase the cosmetics and new legends that you really want.
With those two aspects, it should be a slow stable income. After all, people have to grind out stuff, once you hit level 100, you feel like you're not earning anything. Earning EXP and gaining levels in itself feels rewarding as you progress when that stops a few players will burn out because they're playing the same game without the same rewards.
Edit:
I also agree with having individual legends levels, it would be cool to have some skins unlock or features at certain ranks and also being able to prestige the legends so that you can have infinite progression. Would be really nice to be able to show off, especially when you're the Champion or the Kill Leader.

Yes, very short sighted.
It's one thing to let people speed up unlocks by purchasing them versus people who put in time.
It's another entirely to force people to pay for unlocks eventually.
Frankly, the Fortnite Battle Pass system is pretty good by comparison. And there are other ways. We all understand its freemium, but the way it is now, people will probably buy less as they feel they have a figurative gun stuck to their head about it, and nobody likes that.

Legend levels would be fantastic. I think the reason they kind of cant do this is that the cosmetics are quite limited and you could get them all quite easily, for free, at this point.

Maybe the reward is the fact after your almost 24/7 gaming grindfest for the last 2 weeks you are finally free to give your body and soul a rest and take a look if its still winter out there.
For real dude, get some fresh air.

I agree with OP, as I have written here
The individual level per Character idea is great!
Frankly, I wasted a bunch of Crafting mats on 2 trackers, because I figured the non-character-specific trackers were account wide... I was wrong
So now, with only 1 pack per two levels past 20 and none of them ever containing materials - I cannot actually save up and buy the skins I want.
I would even be fine with paying 5 bucks for a few skins, but I can't. This is my main concern. You can make it super grindy - thats all fine. Its a free to play game.
But if the only way to spend money is on packs... sorry I wont buy any. If I can buy skins directly with premium currency, that I might do. But none of that gambling *.
