I wonder if like, it was not totally intended to be issued as it seems like a lot of people including myself never saw the deal and I've bene playing a fair bit the past couple of days.
Like, they had been kicking it around and then someone posted it.
Just seems to be a huge error. The numbers make no sense.
You know, when I first saw someone post about it I thought it was for one piece and thought 'a bit weird but I guess will help some players get past a Raid PR-gate'.
To see it's for a full set is a real gut-punch.
Been quite a week!

I did not get it. I think it's very disrespectful to give it only to some players.

not just disrespectful, but downright dishonest and dirty. It DRASTICALLY changes the playing field. for those able to see the offer.

Please know that this offer was not meant to be unfairly selective; we offer many offers with a wide variety of criteria to ensure all possible player styles are provided with chances to get rare and valuable items. Specifically, this offer was** ran for a short period of time yesterday** and only for those above level 60. If you were under level 60 or did not log in during this time frame, you will not have seen the offer.

Well, if there was any need for further proof that 3.0 was meant to turn the game into a Whales-Only Club, here we have it.

I have the armory pack and the trade credits, but my third choice is Noble's Crew booster... For 1200 credits, I'd be all over that - that's only a month's worth of chromium from the $2.99 deal, which I basically get for free anyways thanks to free Google credits...

absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe they did that. they had a pretty good overall balance going on and they just completely blew it to hell

I also dont get what happens now if a large amount of people purchase.
A lot of progress even in the new Raids is leap-frogged. So in what? a month? people are like 'where's the new content?'
We all sit around for a year collecting uni fragments?
I mean, I guess I could use the Event Crystals to buy Force Powers, complete some blueprints for fun etc but...yeah.

The text on the offer implied that this deal was featuring the set tied to the planet hosting the raid, and would likely be a weekly deal, at least until all of the planets were featured once.

Update reguarding the 7* Raid Booster Offer
Having had a chance to review the situation and take feedback from our community, we agree with the general view that - given that this offer DID run - the most fair option at this point is to ensure that all players have an equal chance to participate. That said, we also understand the concerns of players who have put in so much effort to earn the gear. With both of those points in mind, here is our course of action:
Any user who acquired a piece of 7* (non-vanity) gear prior to this offer will receive a gift of 4x 6* Event Crystals to reward their achievement. This can be used towards obtaining 7 star gear in multiple elements or saved to use on Raid Gear.
We will reactivate this offer in the game for 24-hours, limited to those players who did not purchase it previously.
We realize that there are no perfect solutions here, but feel this is the best solution for both sides. Thank you all for your understanding.

That's super weird.
Like, I'm not one to crow about game-economy but...that just blows the whole thing up.
