So cyber weekend t5cc couldn't be included in the offers for cavalier players because of balance. This weekend not even a full week later we again see this. What are cavalier player's thoughts on seeing this offer today?

Yes Cav players were fairly shafted on Cyber Weekend deals but doesn't mean anything other than Kabam making a bad choice.
What does concern me, however, is what has happened to the 4* Challenge objective. That thread was closed and there has been no word since to my knowledge.
If the TB titles and gifts come out before there’s a reasonable shot at the 10% crystal in the 4* Challenge objective, I would interpret that move provocatively—that is, as a stick in the eye of veteran Cavaliers.
There’s no need for that.

Which means—if you’re close—you’re not hitting a R3 before the gifts go out (assuming a bit of luck on T5c pulls).

My guess is that they have a “surprise” side quest lined up for the holidays and it will be tied in with that.
If they haven’t released it yet 99% sure it’s not going to just be a case of clearing each map of EQ with a 4*
I’m going to compliment Kabam on something here: to date, they haven’t super-hyped the gift or the holiday calendars. That’s wise. Expectations management is a grossly undervalued skill in life, and they would do well to overdeliver on a reasonable promise versus underwhelming customers after undue hype.
As a long time Cavalier, my expectations are fairly tempered at this stage. My account needs a little nudge, but I don’t expect it to arrive via “gifts.” I also fully expect the disparity between Cav and TB gifts/freebies to be somewhat galling to parts of the community. That will offend some, motivate some and harden the resolve of others.
Ultimately, we have the great luck of being able to spend an inordinate amount of time playing a game with our thumbs and fingers. Allowing that game to cast any kind of pall over one of the most incredible and meaningful seasons of the year is something I don’t plan to do.

However, people are holding off 100% exploration because they don't want to have to run 6 paths twice and we have no idea what the objective is going to be. So @DrZola has a very valid point. It's holding up 2 different chances at T5CC.
People get mad because Kabam has an infinite supply of these virtual resources yet makes us pay ginormous amounts for tiny trickles of them. CW deals were an insult because they shoehorned Cav players into only being able to rank up 5 star champs, for the most part, vs the offers they had in July which gave us a choice. This deal is just another example of a terribly priced deal, based on RNG, asking for large amounts of money for almost nothing in return.
Just because YOU do not understand the logic doesn't mean the logic is unsound, I hope you know.
These deals have nothing to do with logic, anyway. I cannot say more without upsetting the management, apparently.
Who disagrees with the last few posts, including yours and mine? Seems petty, in my opinion.
Second, why not just announce there won’t be a 4* Cav challenge? What’s the harm? But if there is going to be one, what’s the harm in announcing that? Why delay or obfuscate?
December 10 is the day the holiday calendars begin, including the TB calendar. Announcing additional gameplay options to get T5c shards after that point seems disconnected.
If it’s all to make TBs feel special as long as possible, just say so. Over the next couple of months, it’s hard to believe T5c shards won’t become easier and easier to come by. The Cav challenge is a random 10% crystal and unlikely to be a major game changer for anyone who hasn’t played and/or spent a fair amount in game over its 6 years.
Just make an announcement—one way or another—and get on with it.
