Sorry, saw this now. I do apologize if I my tone sounded a little inconsiderate, I may have been a little cranky just at that moment, and considering the painstaking effort I spent collecting the previous rewards.

However, that doesn't make the point I'm making any less valid. I'm not saying I necessarily despise people who didn't manage to get the previous rewards or that BFS should go out of their way to punish them. But if there was a difference in effort, it's only fair that there's a difference in outcome, for both players who've put in effort in the past and all players who will put in effort in the future. It's as simple as that, and I assume you wouldn't disagree with that in principle just because you want to earn a free pass now.

This matters because negating the need for effort at any time, by simply making everything accessible later on, negates the value of effort, and undermines most of the purpose for playing this game with any amount of sincerity. If you forked over cash or sacrificed buying an omnitat to get the limited Tidal dragon just a few days ago, and BFS made it available for purchase at 10 gems for everyone else in a later event, wouldn't you feel a bit betrayed? Wouldn't that teach you NOT to put in effort at all, since it indicates everything will be much easier to get later on and the ones who sacrificed more early on are effectively punished? This is an exteme example, but the point is the same: there's a need to distinguish and value effort, and that's done by maintaining a difference in outcome. In the case of this event, that would be making it unavailable to get all the new content if you want to spend on old content.
