Those guys can't read the main topic where I was complaining the fact localization messages stated things unclearly, in the FAQ there's even stated they would have given less Blue essence from shards. So how can I get it will be orange essence too? Also if everywhere they state it's just blue essence I have no reason to think they are lying about it, but they apparently did. The example about riot's right to get back what they gifted is pretty hilarious, in real life when the company who's giving you a service change something in the contract has to inform you well enough of the changes, if they are not clear enough they even get fined. You're just another person who can't read, it's not a complain about free content and the fact they will give less of them in the future, it's a complain on how they communicated the change, it's been like they were trying to get back the value they previously gifted. Look at the italian FAQ, it still says blue essence will be affected. Another funny quote is from the guy who said if the localized FAQ page said it wrong it's the fault of the reader who doesn't speak 2 languages, wake up guys we're talking in english here and we complained about spanish and italian localized FAQs, many of us already speak more than 3 languages but that doesn't mean we read 3 or more FAQs in 3 different languages, we just choose one and count on the fact it's correct.

Not when you stated just blue shards previously in the other documents. Are you paid by riot to defend them? There will come the day to be your turn to be tricked by them, don't worry.

in my opinion they should have given more notice and be more clear from the start instead of misleading people.. but since they made a mistake with it they should revert it to the previous state for a week or 2 so people can disenchant their skin shards before losing the value.

Same, add me Eliandur
