Shouldn't this entire discussion be moved to engineering section?
That's what I thought from the start, but as a general rule people don't report bugs that benefit them. The cashier gives you too much change back at the store? Ah well that's their problem.
You don’t give the extra dollar back if they give you bad change (if you notice right away)?
Dude, that’s bad juju. You know the person at the register can lose their job for that. But hey, you got an extra dollar...
My point exactly. I didn't buy the offer, but apparently a lot of people did. Instead of reporting what was definitely not intended, they either kept it a secret or (even more dishonestly) told people in chat or discord to take advantage. Now some want compensation because they couldn't exploit fast enough? If this was a secret test of character, then I'd say the community failed.
So, I guess the character of the people who made the mistake is not up for review?
"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."
It does disturb me in a general sense that ppl’s character, morals, and values are now being attacked in this thread multiple times. Not everyone was taking advantage of a glitch or acting out of deviousness when buying the pack for the hidden annorax. Some ppl have said they got the annorax copy before, or without purchasing the 10x10 offer.
As shown above, this annorax was in a combo offer for $9.99 previously so it is not a stretch to think a freebie hidden reward was being given or included. DB has been quite generous lately. Campaign free track is a good example. Many free items or rewards go un-announced. Did they tell us before hand about 5 free slots? No. They were just given. Did they tell us in advance about prince bashir? Several 5* have suddenly appeared as a gift in the game mail to celebrate trek holidays or b-days. They dont always give advance notice, when notice is given the in-game mail often comes after the fact of a gift and everyone already noticed and msg their fleet. new ep 10 has a 5* and alot of di winnings. They did not advertise this new reward system before activating it?
Maybe some ppl took advantage of a glitch if they had been aware of prior glitches doing the same. But not everyone. The vast majority of players dont even go on the forum regularly so they would have no way to know it was a malfunctioning offer from prior reports of same glitch.

I wish to echo the bit about attacking character, that is uncool.
I would also like to add that not all the objections raised by players in this thread were made by players complaining that they couldn't take advantage of an exploit (not even certain that group is 50% of those dissatisfied), many of us were expressing concern that giving away a good card to some people, but not everyone, was unfair, and I'm not sure how one could argue against that point.
For the record, I bought that offer BEFORE I heard about the glitch, and am in no way asking for a handout. I simply expressed concerns about the fairness of turning off a glitch partway through a bugged offer.
I don't think its the fault of any of the players who bought the pack and got the free legendary, how can you take advantage of an exploit you don't even know existed. Even if they did find out about the free card, how could they know it was an exploit, with no word from db on the subject which is basically their MO now.
I do think however it is completely unfair that DB thinks its okay that some people can get a free Annorax and others don't when they purchased the same exact offer, not sure how that promotes balance, They should make it right for anyone who didn't receive the same benefit for the same purchase.
