I think everybody remembers greatest Kabam's fiasko with 7* base pool update and the best compensation ever provided to the community.
When announcing this compensation it was said that dupes from affected crystals will not count toward RER rewards.

Now with announce message it is said that these shards were made from 7* duplicates between the launch of RER and this week.

There is no mention that 7* base pool compensation was excluded.
As there is no explicit mention of that, I cannot ignore situation that Kabam may silently save some time for excluding the dupes from affected crystals. Were these dupes excluded? Were these dupes excluded from affected crystals, not from compensated ones as was stated in original message?
