Hyperdrive bundle

You got value from those previous purchases for whatever time you had in advance of the hyperdrive bundle. You pay for time in this game which is exactly what you got, and there's no reason you should get any other refund

I am not sure what game you are playing, but we are not paying for "time" in this game, we are paying for character shards/blueprints or upgrades. If your explanation is true that we are only paying for "time" then are you saying at some point all the purchases people do will be taken away?

Look at it this way, If someone was to purchase the hyperdrive bundle first then the character packages, then those character shards and blueprints would stay in your inventory. Buying the hyperdrive bundle afterwards wipes the character shards and blueprints from your bundle by a flaw in the bundle description. The bundle description first says it does not add any shards or blueprints to your characters, but then later says it "tops up" those shards and blueprints to the intended level. So if you purchased a character bundle for Jedi Knight Anakin and get 40 shards and then get the hypdrive bundle at a later date, those 40 shards you purchased for cash gets wiped and you are back down to 0 shards even though your JKA is now at 5 star. If you have purchased something, then you should still have it, not have it taken away. That is my point.

Anything in this game is available for free, if you are willing to put in enough time. So when you pay for a toon instead of grind it out over time, you’re spending money in lieu of time to get it for free - hence “paying for time”.
You’re paying for early access to it, in other words.

The argument is, “you paid to have early access to JKA, and you got it”. So nothing is being taken away.

Saying all that, I’d love to get the shards to all the included toons/ships. For an end game player, that’s a LOT of shard shop currency. Which is why they structured it this way I believe, as that much currency would throw everything else out of whack.
