Underlying all of this..Kabam remains Kabam
After numerous assurances and efforts to talk about how they are working on changing especially after Battlerealm Brawl, we get:
1) Another basic error. No one expected perfection, but they can’t even populate a crystal pool correctly still in 2025 (almost 2026) And it has MASSIVE implications with the amount of shards hoarded.
2) Kabam’s error necessarily brings harm. At baseline, you either harm those affected by giving them no comp, harm the rest of us by giving an insane comp with all the benefits of 7 star crystals (sigs, titan shards, etc) to a subset of players, or they harm themselves by providing just compensation and suffering item devaluation for a bit by making sure all summoners don’t feel wronged. Or they harm themselves by devoting time to an equitable comp that takes effort.
And this last one is the problem. You made the mistake Kabam. Not people opening early, and not those opening later. You did. And you are taking the lazy way out while making sure your sales and items don’t lose value to the detriment of us.
Please just quit preaching about all the changes you plan to make, how you want to hear from us, how previous bugs are unexceptable, etc. It’s still the same old Kabam method. No consistency, no testing, not effort, and no actual responsibility taken. Someone has to pay the consequences for your mistakes.…. But we know it will always be the summoners.
