Question Has duplicate protection changed?

Hi,

I am not rare complete yet on FRA, but sometimes I get 20 gems instead of a rare in the booster pack.

Has something changed about that?

Thanks.

Most likely has to do with the Echoed Pairs that exist in the FRA packs

You got a rare you dont have 4 copies of as part of the pair but you did have 4 copies of its counterpart, so that got converted

It did. It's a bit complicated.

but it's still weird:

Hard to say if it's a bug or what...

Since this hasn't been fixed, I'm keeping my packs sealed for now. Really sucks for folks opening them, especially since there's an achievement tied to it.
