They can't write ?! 3 more words too much ? FO feat : "It's a Trap"

So, this will be a ranting post, i guess.
I went into GA, saw : " Win a Grand Arena battle with a squad containing three First Order Military characters".

As a naive player,i didn't think i was supposed to head to forums, find an obscure post about this new GA, find the part where they discuss the new Feats, pull up my glasses, and notice the tiny part between parentheses ...
FO military are any FO except Kylos.

Yea, i didn't know.
So i went into battle with 3 G8 FO (1 kylo), my Malak, and won.
But feat didn't register.
So I head to discord to discuss it.
And there, people enlightened me...

Now my question :
"Is it my fault that i didn't know about Kylos beind excluded" ?
Or
"Is it CG's fault, for not informing me about it ingame" ?

Because, i lost 12 banners to do this feat (i went from a 64 banners fight to a 52 banners fight).
So this impacts me seriously for my GAC.
And i still haven't done my feat, which could cost me 80 more banners, as i'm not sure i'll be able to do that feat again.
And even if i do, it'll cost me another 12 banners.

So who is responsible here ?!

How hard would it be to word the feat as :
" Win a Grand Arena battle with a squad containing three First Order Military characters, excluding both kylos "
3 more words.
that's all i would have needed to understand.

So, WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE ??

    Tbh, my first thought when I saw the feat said "First Order military" units was "So does this mean no Kylos?" But with that being said, it is not reasonable for them to expect that players will go check the forum for clarification. This is a mobile game, only a fraction of a fraction of the player base even knows the forum exists... most players have never checked the forum for anything and never will, and game developers should know that.


    If you can't be bothered to check forums, discord, reddit, or even ask in guild chat, you probably aren't playing at a competitive level anyway.


    This doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of players will not do any of those things. A smart game developer should understand that most players are not going to run to the internet to clarify the wording of a minor achievement in a mobile phone game, the easiest solution for everyone is to add a couple words in-game so that such a clarification is not necessary.

    What is that even supposed to mean? It is a minor achievement, one that I did complete because I assumed correctly that Kylo was not included based on their unclear wording. No matter how minor it is, they could have very very easily avoided any potential confusion by adding 2-3 words to the description. From the perspective of good game design, that is a fail on their part. If you think it's reasonable that players should HAVE to check the forum for stuff like this, which could easily be resolved in the way described above, then you are the unreasonable one here.

    I also misread the feat and made the same mistake, used an undersized FO squad with the Kylos and 2 other FO. Saw the feat didn’t register, reread the feat noticed it said First Order Military characters. Noticed my mistake immediately, while it hasn’t been stated before what ‘First Order Military’ means it isn’t that hard to draw the conclusion of what it is. My own fault, CG could be more clear, but this is on the player

    You point out the triviality of it being just a minor reward in a game...but at the same time argue that its such a big deal as to require in game notice.
