It's impossible to keep everyone happy, short of giving everything out for free. Then the developers don't get any money, then the game shuts down and nobody will be happy.

ThaRoadWarrior said: I wonder if Shards hadn't gone live across a 2-day sub in front of an event consisting entirely of 2-day subs, if the more regular flow of resources would have contributed to a better sense of earn rate?It took me 3-days of pulling as I go, progression only to get my first 3* to to 300 shards. With Shield Training live today, and a 1-day sub, i'm already halfway to another one one day later. I'm curious to see what my shard rate will ultimately average out to be over time.I'm still not halfway to my first 4*, and I have 24/500 for Okoye with an accidental 3/500 to lumbercap from a mis-click on the roster screen.
A tale of two organics...3*... Organics probable (not rage inducing)4*... Organics Rare, but still possible (could be annoying in some rare instances, but not likely).5*... Organics almost impossible, depending on Feeder status. The real crime with this tier will be unannounced feeders hitting. Give a month notice COOL! Give two days notice NOT COOL.

This entire “devs can’t win” conversation conveniently ignores Latest 5’s, where there is no dilution and organically covering a 5 in a single series of consecutive pulls has been the optimal strategy for years - and the situation where both the wasted shard problem and the reduced cover rate hurts the most.
HoundofShadow said: If the players here can't behave rationally and choose to behave like it's the end of the world, then I think it's much better for the developer to keep quiet and post only when they have the full details of updates to come, rather than giving partial updates.I think it's a mentality and attitude issue.

They're random for each player. You may see Hawkeye, someone else has Green Goblin etc...

OJSP said: If a 5* character has some shards already while a feeder is announced for them, wouldn't it be better to continue until we get the cover? Considering we'd get a steady stream of covers from the 4* feeder, I'd argue we should continue until we eliminate any left over shards. Then, we could move on to the next one. I understand it's going to be a very slow process, but recycling a 4* or building a duplicate 4* is an option if we play long enough and we will get more 5* covers from the champion rewards. That one cover for the 5000 iso from lvl 452 reward could be what gets us faster to the next LT.
