CG could please reconsider the boundaries at which you can play the event. My friend has 5 shards too many to do the Hera tier.
Also I would like to give negative feedback about the lack of communication before this event. Had we properly known what the boundaries are, maybe we wouldn't have stopped farming her during the double drops. Also, stop and realize that it was best for her to NOT farm during the double drops event, which doesn't sound like what any of this was intended for.
Welcome to the proving grounds club. We are punished by Red Crate'ing every conquest by being walled off from playing some of the most challenging PVE content they develop, even if for no rewards.
i really don't see the problem with everyone getting all the shards. people with huge collections probably won't notice a few extra card-shop currency. people starting out will be thrilled, the same as now.
but there are a few stuck in the middle simply because of bad timing (that they had no chance to avoid). while i understand that this only affects a minority in any negative sense, this group does exist and i fail to see why some would need to be excluded from this event and it's (for some, quite generous) benefits. it's not like giving everyone that shards (or card-shop currency) will unbalance anything.
i fear this plead will be pointless, but it would be nice if the rules of this event could be reconsidered. at the very least you will generate a lot of goodwill.
in the future maybe give out some information in advance, because weeks of farming strategy would have been different for some. for those people affected, the loss is quite bad.

We are not punished any more than new players are punished by not having access to end game content.

So, if everyone is being punished - doesn't that mean no one is being punished?
F2P since the last time I bought Kyros, Crystals, or the Conquest Pass.
I think they want events like this to be for newer players to get them involved in the game and so the whales at the end game don't get even more resources to keep moving the goal posts further away.
But if there were no rewards for people that already had the characters - or even very meager rewards (say, credits instead of shards) - the goal posts wouldn't be moving.

i agree. but there is a group of players who have been playing for only a short while and are still being punished by investing energy into farming phoenix. they are punished for doing that! if you started a few weeks ago you are still "a newer player". yet, if you went just above the threshhold for this event, you are punished for... playing the game?
maybe this factor was not considered.
me, personally, i am a bit miffed, but not really fed up. i am maxing out my thrawn/emperor-squad right now. when i think about how i could have played more efficiently i am not happy. i wish i'd get a few cardshop-creds out of it. but if i consider people who simply farmed them and are now a tiny bit above the threshold... they are truly crinked.

I am in that boat.... It's really not that big of a deal, I will just continue farming and be glad som eother players got a leg up in the game....

But we actually have the rosters to complete and enjoy that content? IMHO there shouldn't even be relic requirements. The supposed difficulty of proving grounds should be a sufficient gate for newbies.

that's very generous of you, but we cannot judge such situations on a personal level. considering the huge player base, there are probably several thousands of affected players (not counting accounts that are simply too big to care ), a lot of whom are probably less content than you are.
now, if there is good reasoning for why it was done this way, i'm all ears. maybe i just don't see it. that's quite likely actually, i have little experience in the game. but i have not seen any good arguments being made towards that effect.
i don't see a balancing angle. i don't see an economic angle. sure, they want people to spend money, but will a few shards or currency make people not spend anything or less? it can't be a coding issue. what reasons could there by? the rules for this event seem arbitrary (and pointless) to me.

It’s just FOMO with a roster capable of Red Crate you would complete the mission at 3 star easily no issue. Each Tier just requires a specific counter. The reason it’s challenging is because players needing to do it do not have a roster capable of red crate in conquest and often do not have the most effective team. You could always recreate that if you wish by restricting what teams you use for next conquest like a Nuzlocke Challenge and figure out for yourself why you are not missing anything special.
