Solution for double rewards on Boss Rush

The most logical solution I can see to allow everyone a fair crack at the same rewards is to do the following:
- Send an in-game mail with a reset token for the boss rush challenge
- the in-game mail should be sent everyone except those that have two boss rush titles or have one boss rush title and have their current progress in the challenge at 0% (because they've already been reset).
- it assumes that you have to collect a different title each run (you can't have only one title from two runs... I don't know if this is true)
- the reset is one use only. It sets progress back to 0%.
This solves the following issues:
- People don't lose rewards for content they've legitimately completed.
- Everyone has a chance at the same rewards with no one getting "free" rewards for content they haven't done. In other words, zero runs = 0 shards, 1 run = 10,000 and 2 runs = 20,000 and that's it.
The only concern is whether Kabam have the time to get something like this in place before the boss rush is over (or if they will extend it). And whether or not they want to appease the community.

A lot of similar things happen with other business. A store might have an error where they sell an item for less than cost due to error for a period of time allowing a group of people to save money but this doesn’t mean the business should continue to sell those items at less than intended price so that everyone who did not benefit does not feel left out.
I get your point about mitigating errors. And in that case some companies will "honor" an incorrect price or cancel the order, but obviously don't accept new orders.
Thank you for taking the effort to reply, instead of just hitting disagree.
1) Take away the cheaters rewards! (Which is not representative at all, since it wasn't an exploit)
2) Give me free rewards even though I didn't do the work
3) Do nothing, because a 5* is not that big a deal. (Which is relative, because a mid tier player could benefit a lot from a good pull).
When the new Final Fantasy 14 expansion released I decided to buy it, when I went to the online store I saw they had the Complete Edition (had the base game and all expansions including the new one) which was priced £35, they also had the Complete Edition Collectors Edition which came with a bunch of additional items, mounts which you would have to buy separately usually and other exclusive items not available to those who didn't buy the Collectors edition, also priced at £35.
I purchased the Collectors version for £35 (it should have been priced at almost double that at £65) and after my purchase I revised the store to show other people and they had already fixed the pricing issue back to its intended amount. There were people who missed out on the cheaper price but it's not the companies fault that those who didn't get the cheaper price earlier.
TL;DR it's not the companies fault, nor the fault of anyone who benefitted from the mistake, that people who didn't get the same benefit missed that opportunity.
It is up top you to establish that there is a problem needing to be fixed. You have not done so. the best you have done is said that there was a "mistake" to which you agreed not all mistakes create problems in need of fixing.
You have invoked "appeasing the community", but have not showed that there is a community lacking appeasement either.
It seems to me that when you say community you really mean yourself and maybe a few others.
Same goes for the 2015 rank up gems that turned in regular class gems. Did everyone get them? No did people complain? Yes. That’s life for you. I didn’t get a crack at those. Do I care? Nah would I have wanted them? Sure
Yes, because I saw a bunch of people who were hurt about not being able to go for the extra rewards and the solutions offered seem to screw one party or the other. Give rewards to those who don't deserve it (i.e. just double the rewards on completion) or take away rewards. So I had an idea an posted it. The outcome of whether or not they implement the rewards I'm not invested in. I was invested in trying to provide something back to a community I'm part of.
Interesting question, if we were talking about rewards that would personally impact your situation would you be saying the same thing? For example, if the rewards were a generic 5* awakening gem or T5B, I don't care what you pick specifically, but something that would potentially affect your current playing experience. My impression is that a lot of those that are saying there is no problem to solve, it's because they have a 5* roster to which a single 5* champ is not going to make a difference. That is certainly not the case for everyone. Where at some point a single 5* may not make a difference, but for their current situation.. the right 5* would.
And yes, if it impacted my situation my answer would be the same, In this situation I missed out on 10k shards myself, but I chalk it up to missing a sell at the store for something I like. Something out of my control so why complain and worry about it. You are implying my statement and others here is self serving btw.
It sure would be nice to have the same opportunity available, tho im not sure i personally would go through it again as i used a few resources and im trying to save for other contents.
I also find it worthless to go again for titles, they have no value for me.. one is enough to have on record.
But i get you.
