My biggest issue is 100% the pricing.
The amount being charged for a skin that changes just the model is absurd. 14$ can get you a skin in league of legends that changes the Animations, Model, Taunts, Jokes, Quotes, and Splash art.

Why don't you guys give out more crafting materials in crates? Isn't purple mats like 15 or something ridiculously small? It takes FOREVER to get enough crafting materials for a gold skin. It's absolutely ridiculous. Especially seeing how the majority of the skins are really really bad to begin with AND it's a first person shooter so again theres no reason to have skins so expensive when we cant even see them
Just have another way to get crates besides leveling up

So uninstall then and stop crying. The game is free to play and the only thing that costs money is the very optional cosmetics, i.e. things that "make you look cool".
This game has given me 600h of entertainment so far. Total cash spent = $10 to buy the first battle pass. Cash spent last weekend....on the taxi ride to the bar = $20..
Geez so many angry kids here who think Respawn is in their debt because they play their free game..

@EA_Blueberry I think if there was one free legendary legend skin and one weapon skin to be unlocked through play during these wallet killer events, it would lessen some of the rage ranting especially considering the sheer amount of skins they release at once...would throwing one or two in as a freebee really hurt?
But as long as they make these skins expensive as hell to unlock there will always be complaints. Many players might be willing to splurge £170+ on one event but the more this continues the tighter peoples wallets will get.
I feel respawn will only hurt their profit margins in the long run with the pricing scheme. That being said as i stated earlier nobody is forced to pay and the sheer level of aggression over the matter is really not needed.

I am okay, with such events. Now one is forced to buy overpriced skins.
When you like a skin it is your decision, to buy it or not. Surely, prices would be still high even if they give us 50% discount, but unfortunatly this is online gaming in 2019.
What you should not do is play lottery and buy those 700 Apex Packs (unless you buy all of them) and hope to get your desired skin. You mostly will not get it or pay even more than 18€.
Before the A&D event I told myself, I would never buy a skin for 18€ - but then the Ghost Whraith appeared and I could not resist to buy it, as I had no good skin for her so far.
But what I don't like about this event is them obviously stating, that you could get legenadaries for free, while it really costs not 1.200 but 2.400 crafting materials. This rise is just pure greed.
It took me a while to get over 2.4k in crafting materilas and now they want me to spend it on one single skin? Nah thanks.

The pricing is most likely set based on normal market principles. Enough people are willing to pay those prices for those goods, which Im not because the importance of cosmetics is close to zero for me personally.
I would, however, gladly have paid up to $10 a month if that guaranteed servers without prediction error problems and high ping players. THATS a good that I value highly.
