Maybe 4k shards isn’t that bad…?
EA, if you insist on making it 4k shards to exchange for one of the Greatest Captains, then fine, keep it at 4k. But since there’s still no information about Week 5, you’d better add content then that allows players to earn a significant amount of shards.
So, for those players who feel upset about the 4k requirement, let’s wait until Week 5 to see what happens. In the meantime, just focus on completing the other chapter tasks and collecting rewards. We should show EA that we’re willing to compromise — that way, they’ll be more likely to choose to compromise as well. Simply complaining won’t solve anything.
I have to admit, except for the Greatest Captains chapter, the rewards in the other chapters are actually a bit better than before. And since EA has changed things in response to feedback before, there’s still a chance they’ll adjust again if we approach it the right way.
