Daily Deals Remaining Unavailable To All Players Is Unfair

DespoticDanks

Today I discovered via a friend who has them that Daily Deals are available in the in-game store. This was a surprise to me, because I had never heard nor seen these special offerings before. Searching both these forums and the Bug Reports forum reveals that CG has been "testing" these Daily Deals for close to 4 months now, offering discounted items to select players who were randomly chosen to participate.

I can understand the need to test changes to the store. However, my feedback is that continuing to offer these deals to only a limited amount of players further provides an unfair advantage to them over the rest of the players. For example, my friend was able to purchase relic materials at a well-discounted crystal price than that which is commonly offered in the Shard Shipments. Surely it has been long enough to test this new "content" and decide whether to implement it or remove it.

Not everyone was getting daily deals ? I've truly enjoyed the offers. It's like the game almost knows what I need and offers it to me.
It's quite annoying seeing most of the rest of what the store offers being either maxed character shards, or pieces I have thousands of. When are they going to incorporate new character they've recently released into being able to get them using non crystal currency?

Well I hope they incorporate this for everyone, paying 800, or 1600 crystals for a handful of character shards that I don't have is amazing. Never saw shards offered that I didn't have yet, its really nice, plus a handful of pieces I need to get relic gear.

I get them on all my accounts. Three accts over 5.5M and one lvl 58 acct. It's usually stuff I am farming and the value isnt really that great.

I agree the daily deals need to open up to the rest of the player base, or rotate to the players that don’t have access now if testing is still required. It is unfair for part of the player base to continue to have access to extra and discounted relic materials, zetas, etc.
