There’s a difference between the words ‘offset’ and ‘compensate’. Crumb used ‘offset’ when discussing the missing GA rewards - in his post (OP copied). Therefore I believe it would be unfair to be compensated for the rewards; not ‘offset’.

Thank you! I've been pointing that out for a while now, and most seem to just glaze over that fact. Offset does NOT mean compensate. Then again, concurrently means exclusively so.....

"Offset - a conversation or amount that diminishes or balances the effect of a contrary one. "

"Concurrently - at the same time, simultaneously"

To offset something does not mean you will receive equal amounts to what was lost. We are receiving double drops to offset the lack of GA rewards right now. This was an appropriate usage of the word.

Concurrently has nothing to do with exclusivity. The Hoth and Geo Territory Battles WILL be running concurrently. Guilds will not be able to participate in them concurrently though. Much like two football games on different channels, they are happening concurrently and you must pick one to watch. (Yes it's not a perfect analogy in a world of DVRs and commercial breaks, but it serves to illustrate the point). Concurrently was an accurate word choice to describe the TBs.

It's fascinating how many people argue incorrectly against Crumb and TopHat's word selection, when they are probably being very careful and accurate in their word choices.
