Reconciliation Plan!?

I for one think it's incredibly bad behavior of CG to take back anything people have earned in the game. It's not the players' faults that this happened; it's completely CG's fault. I already had Malak 50 shards away from 7*, so it doesn't affect me too much personally, but it still really upsets me that they're going to take away Malak shards, and sometimes entire characters (for those that only completed, say, the dark side part the first time around) from players.

Imagine you do work for an employer, they pay you, and then you go out and spend the money. Then they come back and say, "sorry, we've decided we didn't mean to pay you that much for your work". Ummm, no, that's not acceptable.

One of my guildmates suggested, and I agree... CG should turn this into a positive by letting everyone keep their Malak shards and make this the norm going forward: these events should always reward character shards. There's still a serious gear crunch in this game, and that would help players a little bit towards that end. CG will still make loads of money either way. Also, right after unlocks, for players that need the GET1 for gear, they can sacrifice a lower level toon for a while until the event rolls around next time. Hardcore players will still spend their GET1 on the toon shards.

I'm seriously considering calling it quits over this if CG follows through with their threat on Tuesday.

If you have learned anything from the past, you should know that CG doesn't care about players' feelings when it comes to make up for their mistakes. In fact, it's already very generous of them to give away 2250 SSC. They could have given you much less, like 3 CWC shards, or 1 credit. Their ToS basically says by playing this game, you have to abide their rules and accept whatever they put out.
