A fix for Breaking Points

No, I can't help the programming issues.  But I can help your relations with your player base.

As an apology for the incomplete game update, maintenance issues, and flaws in the matching algorithm, you should give the Rishkar's Expertise prize to everyone who participated in Breaking Points.

Won't be happening.
I second this.

They'll have to acknowledge the problem, but the question is what action will they take to rectify it? They let the event run over the weekend, which means everyone was out of the office and couldn't be responsive to the issue in real time, and now it's too late to pull the even until matchmaking is fixed.

In previous related experiences, they ran the event again with the same prize, however, that was when a progression reward was unavailable due to errors, not when a ranking prize was made unnessicarily difficult to obtain. I seriously doubt they'll just give it to everyone, and I don't know that running the event again will be worth it either since we'll get into a station where more people than they intended will get the card for free, and potentially many of the same people will get it twice just to make sure others don't get it at all.

I admit I don't know of a solution that is both realistic, and fair to the player base except maybe to change the reward brackets so that more people per bracket get the card.
