Should Kabam extend the trade-in store until after the gifting event ends?

I’ve been playing this game for 6 and a half years and this years trade-in store is in my opinion a terrible design. They offer for end game players an opportunity to trade-in 5 generic 5 star awakening gems
(way too high should’ve been 3)
For 1 6 star awakening gem crystal.
In addition they end the opportunity to do this trade right before allowing ppl to trade GGCs which will most likely drop 5 star AG crystals by the buttload for anyone going hard in the gifting event. This is a slap in the face to any player who actually uses their resources like AGs and sig stones when they acquire new champs. In the future all I have learned is that I shouldn’t bother to invest in anything less than 6 stars and to hoard literally every other resources for the chance to exchange it years from now.

I'm with you in that I wish everyone could get it. At the same time the nature of acquisition in game is rng so I just did what I could to get the best possible chance of getting the gem. I'd be kicking myself if nothing changed then got a cosmic gem after this trade in store went away. If I didnt get the cosmic gem I might have explored another variant... not an option for everyone as some have explored all but just sharing my experience and thought process.
I truly believe it should have been gated to TB only.
I would be more pissed if after all this your next crystal has a 6* white mags..
That way, you could give everyone an equal chance at getting the AG eventually. While it's possible that we could get another generic gem during the gifting event or enough class-based ones to trade them for a generic gem, I think it's more realistic (at least for me) that I'd get enough of them in maybe three or four months' time.
From a money-making perspective, I also think it would make offers containing generic 5* AGs a lot more valuable to a lot of endgame players that missed out on picking up the 6* AG this time around. After all, one of the problems that I think a lot of people ran into was viewing those gems as significantly less valuable once they started focusing on 6*s and leaving the 5*s behind. And when something's less valuable, you're less inclined to keep it in your stash for a rainy day. However, now that they have a newly-defined value, I hope it won't take Kabam a full year before they allow people to cash them in again.
