No because the vets earned those covers by spending years and $ leveling said characters. So vets deserve more than I do?

Bc it means it isn't the same for all players. If one is upset about getting 2 covers instead of 6, they should equally be upset if some get double rewards and others not.

captainheath said: Yes, the vets already earned a token at those levels. But that token is not always a 5 star. Without the vets, this game would probably not have lasted this long. We are invested in our rosters in both time and money. I remember the time when all players got a potential windfall of iso depending on their rosters. I imagine many of us were looking for something at least fair to vets like that time was. IMO, a company should value their current customers at least as much as their newer customers. Especially since the current, long-standing customers have already shown an interest and are more likely to have built up a habit of spending.The comment that it is just free stuff goes in both directions. It really doesn't cost anything to give out in-game prizes. But it does build rapport and loyalty.
The problem with that analogy is that when all of that iso was handed out, it was for retroactive Shield rank. If your amount of play put you at rank 60 that day, you earned all of the ISO that you should have earned for every rank up to rank 60. But the new players start from rank 1. After much playing, when they reach rank 60 they will have received the same amount of ISO rewards that you earned on your insta-rank 60 day.
Retroactive level rewards is not the same cup of Kool-Aid. When a feeder gets introduced, people with a large 4* Iceman will have already earned an LT for every tenth level. Then you expect additionally the retroactive 5* cover. Whereas a newer player will not receive an LT and a 5* cover when they receive that rank.
It's funny how much the Unfair label gets tossed around now that it's us on the short end. But when we were double dipping those rewards while the newer players could not, there was no mention of it being unfair in our favor.

The same for everyone isn't always fair. What we're talking here is a reward proportional to the amount of time and money a given player has spent on the game. Y'know, the same principle as how someone who works 40 hours a week makes more money than someone who works the same job for 30 hours a week.
