Doubling relic gear requirement madness
This game is near unplayable since they doubled the cost of relic materials. Why do it? Among the library full of bad decisions cg have made over the years, and this is the worst. I'm amazed it gets s...

They should have %100 sent ingame notice a few times leading to this period. I also didn't want be forced scrap all those gear. Now I ended up getting short of haat gear that wasn't a smidge of a concern before. It was cg's responsibility to figure out a way so that people didn't get double the gear (since this is something cg doesn't want) but also retain the value of what they had without having to do anything. Neither of these things happened. And I'm rather sure that nothing like compensation or even a response about an issue they incured on some unlucky portion of the playerbase will happen. My suggestion would be to either bombard support or just come into terms with happened.
While I agree that an in game notice would have been a good idea, I disagree with everything else. CG is not obligated to do anything you seem to think, especially since they posted it in the forums. If people choose not to get or be involved, then they also give up the right to be personally notified. This mentality that CG needed to notify everyone is like saying they have to mail everyone the event calendar, or the roadmaps.
If anyone is upset they lost half of their unused relic scrap hoard, then tell them to start checking the forums so they know what is coming up.
Many notifications send you towards forums "to check in more detail". There doesn't need to be wall of text in game and there never is. If there is nothing such, is it really a normal expectation to check forums at random times -just in case-?
And ofc social diffusion of this information covered a good portion of the playerbase, especially the regulars. This is not akin to a calendar or road map. Those things doesn't actively do any changes to what you have. Since no such notification happened, what would you propose to the effected population being unaware due to something cg didn't do? I'm guessing "git gud" is incoming.
To your first question, yes. That’s what being involved means. You stick your head in the sand, fine, but then don’t complain you weren’t notified when it was posted. A lot of things work this way, most notably government. When they pass a new law that you are expected to obey, they don’t mail you a copy. At least not here they don’t. They post it publicly, and after that, including in court proceedings, it is your responsibility to be aware of it.
To your second question, see above. Guildmates can spread the word, or people can get involved at least reading the forums. And, as I stated before, it would have been a good move to do an in game mail, but it’s not CGs fault if they made the information publicly available ahead of time and a group (whatever size) chose to skip it. Definitely not a compensation thing or even a screw up on CG’s part.
