So much for consistency when Kabam messes up

Anyone else remember a few months back when they had the deal for a 5* gem with only a select few champs in it, but originally they issued the wrong crystal and people got champs who weren't supposed to be in the crystal? Instead of saying "Hey, we'll only correct it for the people who got the wrong item", you went ahead and changed it so that ANYONE who bought the deal from that point forward would all get the benefit of getting both 5* crystals.
Weird now that the course is changing. You tell us "Hey look, shiny new permanent quest so no need to hurry up and bang it out right away", then the normal whales exploit a specific Kabam mistake and we're told "Hey, remember when we said you don't have to hurry? JK, those who spent will get extra reward that none of the rest of you get".
This is a blatant slap in the face to the community whom you have been shady and inconsistent with for a long, long time. Either you even the playing field for all and give us all access to the same rewards or watch as more and more people who were already leery of your practices start to take their money elsewhere.

Consistency, no so much a thing around here.
They actually let everyone keep the mistake crystal but THEN changed the deal so that everyone who bought it after the fix got the correct crystal AND the mistake crystal. They didn't say "Well those who got the mistake crystal will be the only ones to get both crystals", they did the right thing and made sure everyone got the same treatment. Contrary to what they're doing here.
I'm picturing more of a hamster wheel
The operative word in this post is "bought". The folks who spent too complete this content will still spend when deals come around. Making this fair with reversals is not cost-effective which is basically the point of stating the .008% of players who got the bugged crystal. It costs them the same to fix whether it's .008% or 10% or whatever of players.
Changing the rewards so that more get the upgraded rewards could have a definite impact on future spending on deals as less likely spenders meander through the content much slower.
TLDR: Kabam sez, "Where my money?!"
So yeah if this situation has tought people anything its exploit any bug u find if there devs think it's too much work nothing will happen to you
Well, Kabam Habanero is... He/she is on fire! Pun intended.
"Fixing" would entail correcting the mistake. They didn't do that. They patched it but still allow big spenders to keep rewards that the rest of the community won't have access to even though they themselves said "Hey, it's permanent content so no need to rush"
Stop and think of how imbalanced the game would be if they made all the Gems apply to all Champs. A handful that slipped through the cracks is one thing. Every Gem free to be used on any Champ would be a major issue.
So, in keeping with your ongoing stances, you have no problem with Kabam being inconsistent with their prior practices of either A) removing rewards gained through exploit or
