I see a lot of comments in here, but I don't see anyone bringing up the real issue. I have a 6* 75/100 Malak. I did the DS event and got 75 shards. I then bumped up Malak to 7* and converted the remaining shards to shard shop currency. I didn't have time do LS before it was removed (and they told us not to go for the shards), but I would have gotten an extra 1125 shard shop currency from that. Now I don't get that when other people do because you only get it if you had 7* before the event. So between the fact that they asked us to not to attempt to get the extra shards and that I would have got them had I ignored them, they should be giving me the shards on the same grounds as those people who already had 7* Malak are getting them.
If you had Malak before this event, they should grant you shard shop currency based off of the shards remaining to get Malak to 7*. If you were more than 75 away, you get nothing. If you were less than 75 away, you get 1125 if you didn't complete one of the events.
