Wrong. According to people's posted buys, slot 2 is apparently the only slot where u will get the desired characters people want. Which means it is possible to max any of the advertised toons if you throw enough money at it. They never promised you every slot has equal chance at every potential toon. So again you are assuming/hoping for something they never promised.
Actually they clearly stated that duplicate characters MAY occur. That statement can only be true if there is a chance for duplicate characters NOT to occur. If a casino used this sort of wording with this sort of setup they would get sued, and they would lose.
Just so.
Mind you I'm not saying it's illegal in this case. I don't know the law, I'm not a lawyer.
But I do know that how it is currently laid out is misleading, and either the text should be corrected (boo) or the drop rates should be modified (yaay).
I love this game, and (unpopular opinion incoming) I think CG does a good job in reacting to the playerbase. Whether this was an oversight, or intentional, I'm calling it out to say it needs fixing; and if enough of you do the same hopefully CG will respond to their players accordingly.
Bottom line is: the text on the pack description suggests we are buying something that we are coming to understand is impossible.
Thanks all for sharing your research and information. That advertisement seems to indicate so many shards per 7 of those Rogue One heroes, but above posts reveal and warn otherwise.
Wish there was another way to get Chirrut shards need 15 to get 5* level. Plus Baze shards are kind of rare in other sections of this game.
I find it odd that Jyn is not included. Need 7 of her shards to get to 7*

You are brave to say that they do a good job reacting well to the player base! I'm still waiting on the explanation for lowering the drop rates on new chromium characters when Baze and Shoretrooper were added. The rates were changed and no one told us, $300 later I thought I had really bad RNG but then later realized something changed.
This is neither the first or the last time something like this happens.
The thing is, we are all more or less familiar with the average prices for a single toon. Even if we don't think the bytes are worth that absurd amount of money, we agree, when we want to "buy".
So at the beginning it started with about 200-300$.
Droprates were pretty much accurate and also well-known (not because EA/CG told us about them, but rather because we've learned to know them, by buying and calculating).
Now, with Baze, we've reached prices north of 2,000 $ for one char.
We also have learned about the droprates and what can be found in those 1,190 crystals pack.
But the current one, has just the picture of chirrut on it and claims to contain imwe shards.
With the statement "can be multiple times...Blabla..Same character" you might think:
"Hey, if I am lucky, maybe I find several imwe shards in one pack...".
Truth is something completely different.
Odds went from
1:3 over to 1:10 and 1:33 to 1:100 and are now at 1:1000
If you still feel, this company cares about the players, you are wrong.
They just added nice graphics around an app with a dir t Link to your CC aka wallet. Nothing more.
Just tap, swipe, waste time and please burn more and more money
There was a time, when Rx/SunFac were released, you might have thought: "hey, at least I have these overpowered toons earlier than others".
Sorry bro, today? You just bought parts of an useless toon from tomorrow
I just sent a message to everyone in my guild to save them from this pack.
Also, I really want to know CG's logic in this. Nobody will buy multiple (pretty much after 2 anyone with common sense can figure it out), so what is the point at all? Make people buy it for confirmation?
While we are on the subject of low shard drop rates, I'm missing 10 chewie shards from earlier in the year. I was promised 30 shards, but only got 20. Can someone please look into this ASAP?
proving once again that refreshes, resources, and direct shards are the only things worth spending crystals on unless you have thousands in disposable income to make the other stuff worth it.

I'm a company man myself so I get it. Some people on the team care a lot, and some care less.
It takes a lot of resources to change something we might think of as simple, and a consensus.
Consider how many meetings must have happened over modifying the tank raid: They first need to pull the data and look at the numbers, analyze it, and then write a report/presentation.
Then they need to get the go ahead from the boss(es) to start testing Balance changes. That needs to be tested, they'll need to iterate. Then that goes to QA...
There's more obviously but I'll stop there... at the end of the day, they're a company who cares about the bottom line. I don't fault them for that.
If there weren't team members who cared about the health of the game and players we wouldn't see compensation for the tank raid changes, or old character reworks.
It is serendipitous when care for the game and players joins hand in hand with them earning money. So I'm telling you CG, correct the behavior of this Rogue One Pack, or modify the text description ASAP, and you'll get more money and happier players.
@SnakesOnAPlane after thinking about this today I'm really disappointed in CG. I pulled my packs to confirm for everyone. Those who pull till it's to late is upsetting.
What is the comparison of worth between shards and crystals anyways? In shipments 50 to 80 crystals is worth one shard, so the expected amount of shards you get from this pack are 24 to 15, it does sound pretty fair
Those are only "worth" it if you get to pick your character. You don't in this case, and only get 2 slots of rare characters.
If it is intentional, CG or EA or maybe both are too greed. What we can do is just to stop investing even one penny in the game. I feel really sorry that this was a great game until the greed guys took control of the game operation. Shame on them!

I couldn't agree more @JJBagger . It's thoroughly disappointing. EA/CG throws us winners occasionally on this game, but all too often that's becoming less and less. Even us "Multiple $1K" players are getting disgruntled by such actions.

Disappointing that it was so obviously under-handed and shady.
And shame on you, CG.
