So will uncollected get the rewards?
No, this information was incorrect, which is why it was deleted. Sorry for the confusion there.
Just look at Realm of Legends as a sample ..
back then, it was RARE than anyone completed it .. in fact, I recall Kabam mentioning at the time "we didn't think anyone would be able to, it was sort of a joke, really" ..LOL
Now, everyone's completing it .. and fairly easily as well ...
So ... no ... it wasn't easier then ... same content in the story Acts 1 - 3 then vs now ..
different, more powerful champs (ala Power Creep), now ... and more readily available 4* and 5* ..
ergo, "easier now" ...
That wouldn't work. If you've already finished the Content, you can't do it again.
There are lots of games I've played where adjustments to the rewards of permanent content were adjusted, and generally speaking older players who did it in the distant past didn't automatically get those rewards. Doing so defeats the purpose of reward inflation. I've also seen cases where those rewards were retroactively awarded for a short period of time, generally back between 30 and 60 days or so, usually as a compromise measure to avoid having to provide advance notice to a game change that obviously would be tricky to announce in advance of the change. This all seems entirely ordinary to me.
As a veteran player you can choose to see better opportunities for newer players as a sign the game continues to try to attract newer players and slowly improve gameplay over time, and consider the advantage you have over them to be the much longer period of time you've had to build up stronger rosters and resources. Or you can choose to see better opportunities for newer players as a sign of unfairness, that as a veteran you deserve at least as much if not more than newer players. You can see the time you spent with the game as something that should permanently provide an advantage over all newer players: you get what they get, you get what they don't get, and you get what they never could get. As a veteran player, I vote the former, because its the option that helps the game rather than hurts it.
You're still overall gonna progress much much quicker than the players that are able to get the new rewards
The rewards are being updated to the current level of progression of the game. At the time that many people here completed this content, the rewards they contained were very valuable for the Champions and Roster that you could get at the time. 4-Stars were rare, and for some of you, 5-Stars didn't even exist yet.
This is no longer the case, and the rewards that they contained no longer help Summoners progress in the way that it did when we completed them. Many of us got our first 4-Star Champion from mastering Act 3. With the addition of lots of new content, this is not the case for many new Summoners, and the rewards they gain from this content need to help them progress their current roster.
While we wish it was possible for us to give these rewards to all players that have passed this progression point long ago, it is not possible. We wanted to give a short buffer for those that just completed this content, as they would have been most affected. We stretched this out as far as we could in a range where we still felt safe.
We do understand the frustration for those outside this window, but hope you now understand the reasoning behind these changes.
