Maintenance Compensation Level Depends On Your In-Game Story Quest Progression - Fair or Not?

Maintenance compensations are out and it seems the compensation level varies, depending on whether the player is Cavalier, Uncollected, Conqueror, etc i.e. story quest progression although all the players were affected by the same hours of downtime. Is this a fair way to give out the compensation or not?

I'm only uncollected but got screwed EXACTLY as badly on AQ/AW as my teammates. I'll get EXACTLY the same AW rewards, so shouldn't my compensation be EXACTLY the same?
Want me to hit caps for exactly again or do people get where I'm coming from?
The simple explanation? Let's say everyone got the Cavalier maintenance compensation package. Then let's say that 2 people made new accounts. One made their account on November 7th. The other makes their account tomorrow (not even 10 days later). Now you've got one person with a 5-star champion (that might be a corvus or a domino or something insane) and another person who doesn't. Is that fair? No. And so I think it's very reasonable that these sorts of compensation packages vary depending on your progression title...
I mean sure I would have loved to get a 4-star crystal as well, but hey beggers can't be choosers, as they say.
Also agree that new players shouldn't get same rewards as the higher/longer playing summoners though.
But on the whole it seems Kabam have done a good thing and finally compensating their loyal players.
Not happy that didn't get compensated for all my lost rewards though even though some of my ally did 😔.
Kabam can you please let us know why some people got their rewards back and some didn't?
My time in the game, well out of the game is worth more than those who are under uncollected. On the flip side, it’s worth less than those who are Cavalier. And let me explain why.
Story rewards.
Those working on 6.2/6.3 who could have been working towards 100% of those acts/chapters would have lost more rewards than me who is working on my first run of 6.1 or even 100%ing act 5. Those rewards from each chamber and subsequently each act are far more valuable the higher up you go. The people with the next title over YOU, their time is more valuable.
Also those playing at cavalier and uncollected are usually in alliances that are in higher AW tiers, and run harder maps. So they again should be rewarded more for the time loss.
I missed my chance to do an arena grind for Cull. I had a small window of 1 1/2 days to grind and spend to refresh to get to the 4,000,000 I wanted to secure him. I had boosts all set and enough units to guarantee him. After the servers went belly up, I lost all drive to even attempt him. And his 2nd run I couldn’t even do because of RL. I’d have liked Kabam to issue everyone a 4* Cull who was over rank rewards line, but it is what it is. And again those at cavalier and uncollected usually have more diverse rosters so their time again is with more in rewards.
People can disagree all they want. It won’t change MY opinion on the fairness of the compensation.
I am very happy with what kabam gave as a compensation
8500 5 star shards was the best part 😂
Take it as a gift since it is free.
An example, there were players overseas that most likely slept through the entire downtime. But if they had already became Cavalier they would get more compensation? It just doesn’t make any sense.
Don’t get my words twisted here, I’m glad that we got this compensation, my expectations were extremely low. But I would love to hear from the Kabam team as to why the compensation had to be tiered the way that it was.
