Hyperdrive Bundle

So I am a moderately long time player and a recent buyer of the Hyperdrive bundle.
As per the wording of the bundle it says that it doesn't -give- shards. However nowhere in it did it say that it would -take- shards if you had them! Hence my problem.
I decided to put in the leg work and gather enough shards to get characters to 7stars after this Bundle would supposedly set them to 5stars for me. Characters like Veteran Han Solo, Veteran Chewbacca, Tie Silencer, Nightsister Spirit, and several others. You can do the math on how long it took to hit those numbers....It was a good while.
I even bought energy refreshes to get those shards. All to be ready for after I bought the hyperdrive bundle! Imagine my surprise when my 170-200+ shards just vanished.
Instead? Instead I essentially paid $100 for EA to click the Upgrade button for me a few times. Because it literally consumed all those hard earned shards.
Nowhere does it state, clearly, in the bundle that it consumes your shards. It simply states it doesn't GIVE shards. It states that instead it puts them to 5stars for you. It -DOESNT-...
Never, ever, ever would have bought this bundle knowing this. The wording on that bundle dances the border of false advertisement and has clearly left a sour taste in my mouth. I hope that people see this post and take it into consideration before they buy this Bundle.

"For a New Player" they will received 600k GP in characters and ships. Its a statement of what they get, not a cap of 600k GP.
What exactly do you think is dishonest/falsely advertised about the bundle?
The way merges work is as follows:
If you have a four star character unlocked, and are at 45/65, the HDB tops up your shards to promote it to 5*. Your shards are consumed.
If the same character is at 70/65, those shards are consumed and you will be sat at 5/85 towards 6*.
It uses the shards you have already to activate/promote characters, then tops them up as needed to reach 5*. Anything you shards you had over the 145 total needed to bring a character to 5* are retained by you.
Even if you have all the characters and ships in the bundle at 7*, it's still the best value pack we've ever had in game. The gear alone comes to way more than the price of the bundle.
Can you point out the exact bit the you feel is vague and misleading?
I don’t know how you can interpret “up to 600k GP” as a minimum. Good luck convincing the ASA that that part is misleading.
It’s a pretty commonly used term that suggests it might be fewer than 65.
If any company says “up to 65”, it would be wise to check the fine print to see the details.
“Up to 65 characters” and “up to 600k GP” both seem absolutely clear to me.
