Serious Problem about Guaranteed Heirloom Shard for 500 Packs During Anniversary

I'm facing a serious problem about my heirloom shards. I'm a player start playing apex since the release of this game two years ago. I quit at Season 1 (0 purchase at this time) and return at Season 7 on Steam. 

Noticing the anniversary activity, I bought my EA membership on steam and bought more than 300 packs before the anniversary. With no heirloom shard opened, I bought the heirloom shards form the anniversary activity and exchange for my first heirloom. Then, I continue to open packs for my second one. However, I purchased and opened once again more than 300 packs and get nothing.

How Strange! I was told there is a guaranteed heirloom shard for every 500 packs. I shared my situation with my friends and they never saw such a situation. I then searched for the same problem on the Internet. It seems that many people have facing the same problem and participating the anniversary have reset their pack count for heirloom shard!

I then opened another 120 packs. Finally, I got my second heirloom shard! This means I open more than 720 packs to get my guaranteed heirloom shard for every 500 packs, without even counting my free packs from the game!

I view the response on this topic and also contact eahelp to get my answer. They all denied this situation and suspect my pack count. I hold all my purchase record and more than 220 packs is not kind of deviation people can get wrong. 

By the way, I am a master student in Computer Science from USC. And all these evidence shows that programmers in EA reset the heirloom shard count after buying the anniversary activity.

Other players and myself have wasted so mush money on this problem and the EA official still deny their mistakes. I wish more further investigation into this problem and give us a fair response to remedy our loss!

Thanks!
