I wish you could. I have RC & CAT, but I don't see why they should be kept so exclusive after more than a year. I don't even really see why there has to be a gate at all, since most squads are getting trashed in the event, but if there has to be one, why exclude people that would have been eligible for CAT shards on Normal Mode.

I think that was only for RedCrate on Normal, but whatever it was, if people had attained that crate in the past (even if their first time accomplishing that crate level was after RC/CAT left the rewards), then they've reached the level where they're eligible to earn shards of that toon...so why deny them the chance at Proving Grounds?

I mean, I guess slowing down a whale who can buy their way to SEE the moment that they hit level 85 might be something that they want to do? But previously eligible folks should be currently eligible. There's no getting around that.

Thought there would be more outrage over the fact that players with them at 7* can still get shards. Huh.

I'm not surprised. There's always outrage when people can't play something. The last time I remember outrage over people being eligible for extra shards was the Malak event mess-up where folks like me got to replay the event for shards (instead of just for fun with no other reward). I hadn't purchased my way up to 7* yet, but some folks had, and I got my last needed shards from replaying the event, which saved me what was at the time the most valuable currency in the game (GET1). The difference between what a few thousand GET1 meant in game to what a few hundred ShardShop currency means in-game now is pretty huge.

I doubt many people will be at all upset that I got a bit of ShardShop Currency (even though I didn't deserve it, or at least we were told that it wasn't intended I would get it).

Yes, there can be a lot of outrage around here, but it's not usually focussed on something as petty as shard shop currency.
