I may be over simplifying it, but with regards to there being a technical issue with Bronzium packs and the ability to convert shards from those packs into the new economy type shards...couldn't you just instead double the drop rate on the shards in Bronzium packs? Wouldn't that in essence do the same thing by doubling the amount of Original Rate currency received to then be converted?
I could be wrong, but it seems like that would at least be a band-aid fix until the Brozium Packs could be brought up to work like the rest of the currency in game.
