Can I just get an answer as to why?

New Years Kabam releases the cards for shards and ranking, sorta. There was a pretty large outpouring of the forums and a vague use of the word “garbage”. So then a few days later a worse deal is released for a value you can get by doing solo events. If it’s for packages to lend to in game rewards why not add 5* awakening and signature stones to the solo quests? I think a large part of the community would love to see the signature stones and awakening gems in the solo quests or why not have uncollected solo shards that award sig stones like you have for the lower levels. We can easily obtain 3/4 awakening and skill gems if you put effort in the daily quests. Why not add 5* awakening and signature stones and an uncollected shard with the rest?

5* Awakening and Sig stones are rewards on much of the end game content...if 5* awakening stones were in solo crystals....what would be the point?
As far as the crappy New Year's deals.(I certainly didn't buy them)..they were pretty much the same as the crappy New Year's deal the year before. The only people who decided the New Year's deal was going to be some epic set Cyber Monday/X-mas specials are those that always work themselves up before every holiday on these forums.
This is actually a good point. Offering premium end game content at rock-bottom prices would not push us to complete to 100% things like LOL and Act 5.
Well do you think the 4* sig stones is to much? They were out when Act 4 we’re out? They were end game at that time. I’m not asking for anything free. Just why be limited when the rewards can cover all tiers. You still have to do the work to receive the prize.
If you are taking 5* Awakening stones out of the equation, I have to agree you make a valid point about 5* Sig stones. You are probably correct that they would not screw up the progression curve too much. Though if they took you up on this idea, I can almost guarantee that the number of shards it would take to get a "Uncollected" solo crystal would likely be pretty high...since solo crystals are really easy to accumulate. (as you already stated)
They did make 5* sig crystals much more available this past month with Modok's lab.
People have all kinds of reasons for doing what they do, and that includes the developers (and the monetizers making offers, who are not the same people). But people normally don't sit around thinking about why they don't do what everyone else wants them to do. Its even harder to speculate about why people don't do what they don't do, when they don't put much or any thought into it.
If you want a real answer to why Kabam makes the offers they make, its because unlike us the people making the offers have a huge amount of real data about what players need, what they want, and what they are willing to spend money on, and target their offers based on that data. That data tells them something different than what you believe the situation is, so they act differently than you would expect them to. That's really the only answer you're likely to get, short of applying for a job with Kabam in the monetization group.
