All uncollected accounts should qualify for Highest Experience Bracket.

Anyone with half a brain knows that prestige has no bearing on "experience". Correct this logical error immediately please, and maybe we'll pretend it didn't happen.

Fair enough. However, being uncollected has no bearing on experience either, so you are suggesting an equally nonsensical change.
Kabam is being their usual eloquent selves, but it is common for MMOs to gate this kind of reward based on the existing strength of the player's resources, which in our case is our roster. There is no perfect judge of roster, but prestige is a reasonable metric for gating higher strength roster components relative to the existing strength of the player's roster. It generally has nothing to do with whether a player is "ready" for those rewards because that's an impossible to judge metric.
You're seeing this as a case where if a player has already achieved the goal of gaining some 5* champions then by definition they are ready to earn more in an event like this. And that would be true, if that was the logic behind the gating. But the expressed logic is, frankly, Kabam-sensical as it often is. The actual reason for a game designer doing this is generally so that the reward strength relative to the existing strength is not higher than a certain (sometimes qualitative amount). To vastly oversimplify, if a player has one 5* champion, then giving them the opportunity to earn another one in this event is giving them the opportunity to double they 5* roster, which is a huge relative reward. On the other hand, giving that opportunity to someone with twenty 5* champions is a proportionately less valuable reward. The prestige gate is there to very roughly ensure the relative value of the reward doesn't exceed some value.
I don't think the majority of players disagree with the fundamental concept of gating, but the criteria they are using is absurd, which is why there is such an outcry. I just made the uncollected suggestion because it's a common current gating system system in the game. The point is there are 100 better ways to determine account "experience" than an average of the meaningless random number they gave each hero... Use your heads.
Milestones should not have any cutoff
Let people grind as much as they want and get their hard earned rewards. Those that have the 7.5k milestone are getting more infinity dust and DA in the long run so where's the balance there? When a majority of the player base can hit that milestone?
Prestige already determines the tier of crystal to be available for purchase. It should have no bearing over milestones.
For an event that was marketed at NOT requiring you to play with your alliance and as something that would allow solo players to be involved it makes no sense to base the rewards on a metric that is only of use in one part of the game that isn't this event.
Having said that, someone has to be disappointed and no one will agree on a method anyway
Two other tidbits that have been garnered (based on reddit responses) - if you pass 5500 prestige one day, the next day, you'll have access to the higher milestone for dust.
While it is true that there are plenty of accounts with 4* 5/50's that have become Uncollected (that are usually around 4600-4800 prestige), Kabam has to pick some sort of delineating line. Whether or not this was the right one is a matter of opinion.
Most if not all players who’ve completed Act 5 100% have a r5 5* champion and other r4 5* champions. Act 5’s exploration rewards combined with Act 4’s exploration rewards provide the bottleneck resources (T2AC, T4CC) to take one 5* champion from r3 to r4 and one 5* champion from r4 to r5. The T4CC rewards are random and both Acts can be explored with max 4*s but Act 5 has been out for close to 5 months.
5 months is plenty of time to obtain the remaining resources (T4BC, T1AC, T4CC, T4CC shards) required to r4 and r5 5* champions from AQ. Different players will suggest different types of justification for why a prestige of 5,500 is an unreasonable cutoff to obtain more milestones. I’m only addressing this one because I think it’s valid, and will add that I can’t think of any players in my alliance or on my friends list who have explored Act 5 and currently have a prestige lower than 5,500.
I think 4k prestige was the cutoff for that
You can still make it
i mean technically they already have. You’ve all seen the dumb responses from them, they could care less about us. just give up... #boycottkabampart2
