Fortnite Faces Backlash Over Removal of Cosmetic Rarities

Epic Games' decision to eliminate color-coded rarities has sparked concerns over skin pricing and game simplification.

Epic Games has removed color-coded cosmetic rarities from Fortnite, causing widespread player dissatisfaction.
Players fear this change could lead to arbitrary pricing of skins, especially after the release of expensive Avatar: The Last Airbender skins.
Epic Games claims the changes are meant to simplify the game and remove outdated systems, but many players see it as a complication.
The removal of rarities has been criticized for making the game's locker UI harder to navigate and less appealing.
Despite the backlash, Epic Games plans to add features to the Item Shop to help players know when items will rotate out.
