Apex Legends is facing some serious issues that have players worried about the game's future. Let's break down the main concerns that fans have and what it might mean for Apex.
Cheating Problems:
Live Hacking Issues: High-profile incidents where top players were hacked during live events have not been resolved effectively. Many feel that the game's developers, Respawn and EA, aren't taking strong enough actions to stop cheaters, especially on PC.
Troubles in Ranked Play: Cheating is a big problem in ranked matches, with players on PC facing hackers and console players dealing with teams that cheat to boost their rankings. Players are asking for tougher penalties like hardware bans to stop repeat offenders.
Money Matters:
Increased Costs: The game has introduced new ways to spend money, like exotic shards for buying special skins and milestone events that feel like gambling. These changes make it expensive to get the items players want.
Changes to Heirlooms and Battle Passes: Recently, Apex made heirlooms (special items linked to characters) less personal and changed the Battle Pass (a way to earn items by playing). Now, you have to use real money instead of game currency to buy the Battle Pass, and there will be two passes each season, doubling the cost.
