Players will soon be
able to purchase XP boosts from the Fortnite item store, which some of the
community don't really like.
The XP boosts in
Season 2 are the subject of strong criticism from the community. Those who wish
to receive all their gold variants for season 2 must reach level 350, which is
almost impossible without meeting all the challenges.
Epic Games would like
to sell XP bonuses in the Fortnite item store.
When you combine that
feeling with the lack of additional challenges, players get a little frustrated
with the current state of Fortnite Season 2 cosmetics.
Of course, it is not
as difficult to reach level 100 as in previous seasons, but it is much more
difficult to unlock all cosmetics.
This is why some
players were angry to learn that Epic was going to sell XP upgrades in the item
store towards the end of the season. They've already done this in the form of
Battle Pass levels, but this time it's more "dirty".

"XP boosts will
soon be available in the store"
In past seasons, reaching
level 100 has always been easy.
Now, however, when the
most dedicated Fortnite players have not reached level 350, selling XP boost
seems a bit manipulative. They set a goal that is almost impossible for most
people to achieve, and then consider selling additional support to help you
reach that goal. Whether you like or hate old combat passes, they never
included anything like that.
For this reason, some
Fortnite players are calling for a boycott of Item Shop XP in season 2. "I
think it's important that we talk to our wallets and let Epic know about
it."
I think it's important
that we speak with our wallets and let Epic know "Hey this isn't ok".
We shouldn't need to spend more money on the battle pass then we already have,
to unlock everything. Let's not make impossible enlightening skins the norm.
Let me explain forward in the comments. from r / FortNiteBR
At the time of
writing, this post already had over 2,200 positive votes.
The Fortnite community
does not tend to be taken over by developers.
These players are
taking a stand against something they consider the first step in a wrong
direction. Epic made it difficult to reach the Octuple variant last season, but
it was a reasonable task with the length of this season. This time, the players
revolt.
Now, it remains to be
seen whether Epic Games wants to reverse its decision to sell XP boosts in the
store or not. This choice is ultimately theirs alone.
