Duplicate rares for event rewards

It's one thing to be getting duplicate pulls from the packs and boxes. But when you've finished the grind for the max progression reward, with ridiculous secondaries like the current 10 HP or under on Turant of Valakut, all to get a rare that is another duplicate. It's kinda discouraging. Not sure how others feel about this? I know there has been lots of talk about the pull rates but I think that the events should give you a final reward that is actually rewarding.

    Exactly the reason why I got to the 2nd progression pack and stopped. Waste of time!

    There have been multiple threads on this event being a chore due to a certain event encounter. I'm going to refrain from making any suggestions on whether or not to bother with this encounter as I was tagged as being "unhelpful" in the prior thread, so here goes:

    Event rewards should be valued based on the effort required to obtain them. If a certain encounter that will remain unnamed in my post potentially requires a significant effort to complete, then the reward obtained after completing said objective should be valuable.

    On the other hand, if they leave it the way it is, I don't have to waste time trying to obtain it. I can get more runes from QB than from converting the dupe Rare.

    if you've got all/most of the exclusive rares from fs event
    then doing the maths, a guaranteed kld rare will have a
    reasonable chance of being a dupe. especially if you've
    got a few kld rares before this. exclusives are the only
    guaranteed new cards.

    I personally have 27 of the 61 rares from the KLD block. It doesn't make sense that I have less than half the rares and every rare I have received as a max progression reward is always been a duplicate. Lately there isn't even an exclusive event reward rare, which generally tended to be something you couldn't have a duplicate, because at least you couldn't have pulled it from a pack before. But even those I've seen them use the same
    Exclusive for more than one event. If you've already won that exclusive before... it's not really exclusive XD. Like others have posted, it doesn't give us incentive to play the ENTIRE event, just win one battle on each to get up to the last booster. I know I would do the grinding more regularly if I knew that in the end I wasn't going to get a smack in the face XD

    I have all the KLD rares, except the referral ones.. That's what happens with 10 big boxes and only 1 mythic

    this is exactly how I feel after hours of play to get all the secondary objectives and all I get is my 8th Aethersquall Ancient, not to mention that the event rewards or Big boxes are also all dupes. The Devs really need to do something about the duplicated cards, converting them into runes is a joke, I'm getting nearly 400K runes already, why do I need more of them?

    I definitely don't think someone should get duplicate Social Cards for referrals. That is the most egregious form of RNG bending you over the barrel...

    @Mainloop25 - that's exactly why I haven't pushed to have people join up yet. I'm waiting for them to fix it... then I'm going to spam the invites at that point in time XD

    @majestyk5 all I seem to keep pulling is Arborback Stompers or Cultivator of Blades' haven't seen a rare that wasn't green in over a week...
