**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Full disclosure: I weighed the offer last night and decided to get it. So while I think compensation would not be unreasonable in this situation, I would be a beneficiary of that compensation so I have some vested self-interest that could introduce bias.
C'mon man.
All Kabam can do is address the problem, if it really was an error, for those who bought it.
They are not as good as people were thinking they were, but they aren't worse then basic Cav crystals.
I never got the impression that it was a huge community drive that resulted in us getting drop rates. How we got there probably doesn't matter in the end.... we are where we are.
However, it does provide some insight into what is the crux of this discussion, which is assumption. Before there were ever drop rates, we "assumed" certain odds based on experience. We now "assume" certain drop rates on named (i.e. cavalier, grandmaster) crystals based on previous information. Just like generally we "assume" we aren't legally binding ourselves to lifelong indentured servitude when we click agree on TOS in every piece of software without reading them.
There are arguments to be made on both sides i.e. precedent or patterns, good faith versus the "contract" (specified drop rates).
As it stands, mathematically (and I posted it in another thread), they are almost equal... this crystal versus new cavalier 6* drop rates. If the bait and switch was intended, I personally would classify the marketing as misleading. However, since I can't know their intention, I am willing to accept that it's an error.
I didn't buy the crystals, so it doesn't affect me either way.
My expectation is that they will respond in due course given the furore.
We - specifically some players in the community - did fight for disclosure. Players had been asking, sometimes demanding, drop odds for years in this game. We didn't get it because we won that fight with Kabam, the fight was mooted by Apple. But players did fight for drop odds disclosure.
Apple decided to get ahead of litigation and regulations. There was, maybe still is a massive anti-gambling against micro-transactions that involve chance. Most tabled regulations seem to have lost steam. I liken this to "violence in video games causes violence in real life..." it has an ebb and flow of uproar.
