As the beta for Star Wars Battlefront II is closing, it is apparent that the sequel surpasses its predecessor in so many ways. In short, the relatively fluid game-play and the stunning graphics are key contributors as to what make this game the game we loved to play during the beta. However, there is one major flaw to this game that is impossible to overlook. The progression system is based on the dreaded "Pay to Win" elements we have come to despise as a gaming community. As we all know, the progression system is based on receiving crates through leveling up, and upon opening them, you have three chances of obtaining cards. These cards can be equipped to their specified classes, thus making them stronger. Despite already trying to come to grips with the fact luck is not on your side, it is revealed that you can pay real money to purchase more crates. Giving the person more opportunities to get more loot, and thus, better loot than the average player. This crate "Pay to Win" system is a tumor in the gaming community and it appears the backlash of the community on YouTube and Reddit is not enough. With your signature, you are supporting the fact that you probably would have bought the game if the 'Pay to Win' crate system wasn't implemented, and a more linear progression system took its place. The crate system can still be there for things like the MVP stances, or flashy armor and cosmetics for your soldiers on the battlefield. As a community, it's time to formally stand up against this business model, and show that we as a community will not put up with this blatant disrespect by game developers.

In Conclusion:

By signing this petition, you are condemning the crate "Pay to Win" business model and would like it to be replaced with a more linear progression system. If said changes are made, you will probably/consider buying your game a lot more than just simply blowing it off due to said poorly structured business models.

P.S. Dear EA,

If you get the chance to read this, I heavily enjoyed the open Beta, and thank you for giving us that opportunity to test the game out. As a Star Wars enthusiast, Gamer, and Battlefront fan in general, I would like to be given the respect I, and I am speaking for the community, deserve when purchasing a full priced $60 game.
