So I have a couple of ideas on how to make things a bit better for the community and to make the game stand out and be more appealing. In this post I will try my best to share my thoughts as best I can.

First and foremost is the issue that I, and it seems many others I've random queued with have with legend tokens and crafting metals: You simply don't get enough crafting metals to use them and once you hit rank 100 you don't have anything to use tokens on really. Sure you can use them to buy the new legend when they come out in the new season and on recolors of existing legendary skins but you need that legendary skin already and even then its not always worth it.

My solution to this? I have two actually.

OPTION 1: Make it so you can purchse crafting metals with legend tokens(like 1,000 tokens for 100 metals or something.) This way the community will actually remember legend tokens exist for more than the three seconds it takes to use them to purchase whatever seasons new legend.

OPTION 2: Remove crafting metals from the game and use legend tokens to ourchs skins, quips, banner, poses, etc. This would make a less superfluous system and give legend tokens a use, you could refund the players their crafting metals at either a 1:100 ratio(1 crafting metal equals 100 tokens.)

The next issue would be event/battle pass limited skins for legends and weapons: Now this one is pretty plain and simple. As much as we all love having something that only was available for a short amount of time, let's be realistic. Not everyone can spend all their time gaming. Not everyone wants to send their time playing Apex or any other game. So here's what I propose to make it so everyone can have a the ability to get goodies they missed out on.

After an event or battle pass has ended give it a short time(for example after the iron crown event you said you would add those cosmetics into the apex pack pool after six months) and add them into circulation in the packs and/or add them in with challenges to unlock those skins(for example 100 headshots with the triple take to unlock its season 1 legendary skin.)

This way players can still earn these items through skill and/or luck.

Lastly a 2 part idea to help make the game stand out and become more appealing to a wider audience:

This one has actually been the most talked about grievance I've heard and it also seems like it would draw a larger audience from other FPS games. Map selection and adding in old event exclusive modes.

I can't even count the amount of times I myself have both said and heard that I wish I could play on original King's Canyon and the Season 2 version.

Respawn developers, I firmly believe that if you take anything from this post. Its that you add map selection in and also bring back limited game modes, whether its through cycling the different modes out every week or month, or just keeping them permanent.

Also custom matches would be cool so me and my friends can mess around and use old hop ups or have it so theres no hop ups and so on. Custom matches shouldn't level you up though
