I meant you get full shards enough to upgrade completely from 4 to 5 to 6 star from just completing the event. So you naturally think the 7 Star is gonna be the same way. No I never checked the rewards beforehand because last time it came around I wasn’t ready for it. It’s deceptive. It gets you to build the event up in your head and then hits you with the reality that you’re not going to get what you have come to expect. Then it preys upon your frustration which turns into you spending money on an item with a terrible drop rate to kill your hope and bank account even further. If you don’t think they plan to things out like this to manipulate you psychologically, you’re crazy. And all you trolls can make fun of me saying I should’ve checked the rewards beforehand, or you could side with the players and agree with me in solidarity so that maybe they’ll stop committing unfair practices like this in the future.

You could subscribe to the conspiracy theory that CG is trying to "manipulate psychologically"·

Or you could look at the history of the event and see that it first ran just weeks before the first Chimaera event. If it gave 100 blueprints then huge numbers of folks would have unlocked Chimaera on the first go. So, yes, there is a monetization aspect to it and that aspect is pretty transparent. Not nearly as nefarious as you're painting it.

Also, as has been pointed out, you're basing your expectations of the event (Fleet Mastery) on the rewards from rotating challenges (Capital Ship Upgrades). They're two different things and expectations should be different. If the final tier of the challenges have 15 blueprints you'd have a stronger argument.
