Anything CG says at this point will be immediately dismissed and the complaining will just shift focus.

What about legitimate concerns of players who spent money or crystals due to CG's error, and have been told that those items will not be returned (only the actual gear will be returned). Isn't that a concern? No one at CG has acknowledged that yet or made any statement addressing it.

No, that's not a concern at all. You spent money for crystals (or gear if you bought a pack). You spent crystals for gear. You get that stuff back. They didn't take anything you actually paid for. You just aren't using it the way you want, because for some reason, you thought a change to the way epic confrontations work that wasn't communicated from the devs was somehow by design. Forum and reddit posts were "OMG MALAK EVENT GIVING EXTRA SHARDS DO THE EVENT BEFORE IT GETS FIXED" and people spent money, what, hoping CG wouldn't be able to reverse it? Even if someone doesn't read reddit or forum posts, why would you drop real money on this game to gear up a toon that won't make that big of a difference to your arena payout since shard chats and mod luck are things?

If you aren't reading the forums then you are clueless sir. It's the epic confrontations and the requirements then only passing out a 5 star. I got Malak first time. Waited Months to 7 star him I got him 7 star when relics hit and G12 and G13 the same day. I hoarded Gear for months. It was a complete waste for such a hard event. I got GAS and it was stupid hard. 5800 people unlocked him. That's insane considering the amount of players and then he sucks at 5 Star against Relic 7 Darth Revan. and, yea, the list of other complaints that are never addressed but are instead pushed under the rug! So there is no whining per say but a frustration that has been mounting since Malak came out and this sent people over the edge.

I've read the forums. It's all whinging, and in the cases of Malak and GS it boils down to "CG is consistent about events and I'm mad about it". Malak was a 5* unlock. Why would anyone think GS was any different? The devs said a while ago they were definitely doing another epic confrontation. Why wouldn't you hoard GET? The second round of Malak rewarded no extra shards. Why did anyone think extra shards the third time wasn't a bug that would be rectified?

But I'll ask: What reasonable response from the devs would make you all happy? Seriously. At this point, nothing CG does or has done has been met with any sort of fan fare. Someone is always mad about it, and they think it's a huge issue because they are shouting about it and others agree... even though they're ignoring the fact that this game (probably) has millions of users who aren't on here complaining.

You read the forums and it's all whining?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?

Okay.... let's talk about this. Because we need go no further.

IT'S ALL WHINING - -- okay, if it's all whining then clearly, the community at large is not happy.

Just look at that.

And you can dismiss all of this whining if you want. Fine. You aren't making the game.

And the more people you turn off on the forums dismissing their comments like you work for CG/EA, the more this game is going to hemorrhage players. But, you don't think the game is.

Trust me. It is. When another games has 15k downloads in the last week and most of them saying they're coming from here. And another game also is getting a huge uptick.

You're right. No whining. Everything is good. But your behavior directly affects the health of this game. Keep telling people that they're whining and that they're wrong etc..
