HoundofShadow said: I think we are looking at things from different angle.The frequency and difficulty of the crash will affect the amount of shards. Also, favourite shards are worth more than a LT.So, you have to deduct a certain % from that. If they were to give favourite shard, you have to deduct even further. Because the ability to choose where you put those shards is more precious.The max number of 5* shards given for T1 placement is 150, and you need to unlock SR120 to achieve that. If not, you are stuck with SCL 9 which gives you 50 in progression and 50 for T1 placement.If there are 6 5* crashes a month, that's 600 5* favourite shards. Realistically speaking, they are not going to be so generous. You need to pull 200 LTs or Classics to gain 600 shards. No player can accumulate 200 such pulls every month. Probably whales can accumulate 200 pulls a month or 6-7 pulls a day.If you expect them to give 75-100 5* favourite shards per crash running every 5 days and players with 6-8 covers of that 5* can win one node to get that amount of shards, you will be in for a huge huge disappointment. Edit: Another way of looking at things is , how much effort do average players need to spend to gain 250 specific 5* shards in SCL 10 pves? About 45-60 mins each day or 2hr15 min to 3 hours per event. How many nodes do they need to hit to achieve that? 81 nodes for a 3 days event. Then, ask yourself, after considering the above, what's the probability of the devs giving you 600 5* favourite shards for spending a total of 20-25 minutes or clearing 6 nodes? To me, it's impossible.

HoundofShadow said: I'm using existing data to support my point of view. Data which you can verify for yourself. Those are the places where you can find 5* shards. It's also a fact that f2p uses effort to reward ratio to determine the reward levels.
HoundofShadow said: Why hasn't the dev put 5* shards in pvp, shield sim and pvp season in progression rewards?
Sekilicious said: They are well aware that the developers only address concerns on this forum when they are overwhelmingly negative, like shardocalypse or UI gate.
