Advantage for Bifrost Side Event Overcompensation

Member Posts: 104 ★★
Background
There are some players who have received extra Uru and Raven feather due to an initial bug that caused them to lag behind the progression with the rest of those who are U/C and above. However, these players were over-compensated which placed them at an advancement advantage. While most of the Odin's rewards are good, this article focus on the Tier 10 and above rewards.
Some of the players have expressed concerns about the advantage this presents - this mathematical calculation focus only on the T5CC crystal fragment which is the rarest commodity in the game currently.
Date and Earliest Tier Achievable
We know the amount of Uru that is required to unlock each tier of the Odin's casket.
Casket 8 requires 75 and 9 requires 100.
While each run of tier 8 gives you 10 Uru and tier 9 gives you 11.
Based on the calculation of a regular U/C and above, the earliest that one will be able to reach Tier 9 is 20 Mar, after which, it will be another 10 days on the 30 Mar that will allow him to start in Tier 10. The event ends of 7 Apr, which means that a regular player will be able to do 9 days of Tier 10.
By comparison, someone with the extra Uru would be able to start as early as 17 Mar (ref: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/254880/odins-bifrost-gauntlet-tiers-8-9-and-10#latest) . This means that he will be doing Tier 10 runs for a total of 22 times. This translates to an extra 13 days worth of Tier 10 and hence 13 more T5CC fragment.
Evaluation and possible next steps
Again, the purpose of this calculation is to demonstrate the magnitude of the advantage that the extra Uru have created.
Possible and most direct solution is for KABAM to provide the rest of us the same amount of extra Uru and Raven Feather that the other players have been provided so that we are marked to the same amount of rewards.
If this means that I would need to return a couple days of Tier 6 packaged rewards of 1050 T4B frags and 250 T1A frag, please confiscate it as required. As long as I get the T5CC that would bring me close to my next 6* R3, it does feel less painful by comparison.

Asking for fairness is not the same as asking for free rewards!
Only to result in people once again saying that there were still a subset of ppl that once again had an unfair advantage.
And on, and on, and on.
For, if they were able to exactly know who all got extra stuff (and I don't believe it was the exact same ppl who got the legitimate compensation feather as to who got the extra set of URU), the game wouldn’t have mistakenly sent the extra stuff to begin with.
So what makes you think they would exactly know who should or should not get a 2nd round of stuff to even it out.
That would prevent those that were overcompensated from "exploiting" it. It would be nice to also get extras, but that's unlikely.
I agree with what people said, limiting the number of entries would be an easy way to solve this. I don't think Kabam would want to give the extra uru to everyone.
Hopefully this turns into the intel event
You're probably not getting affected so easy for you to say so.
A progressive term, “Equality is not a pie” states that by providing more rights/rewards to certain disadvantaged parties will not result in the current advantaged parties suffering a loss - hence, more for all doesn’t lead to less for any subgroup parties.
In this case, if we the majority who do not have the Uru/Feather to achieve the extra 13x T5CC frag, then we should be provided the ability to do so, as it does not lessen the ability for the minority group to still achieve the extra T5CC.
By saying that “more for them, doesn’t mean less for you”, it is a misuse of the actual essence of the phrase and turning it into an oppressive statement that would states that those who are not treated equally should just live with it.
