I collected all 16 Starcrystals in Heroic mode after spending many hours and gems (and real money) with the sole objective of crafting an Epic Crystal WingGuard+.

Having used the first 8 to craft and enhance a Crystal WingGuard to level 35 a few days ago, I was planning to craft the + version once the heroic mode was over.

When I opened the game app today, I was shocked to be greeted by a message congratulating me for having collected all the star crystals but that I wouldn't be able to start crafting the + version after the end of the heroic event, and instead forced to convert the crystals into fusion boosts !?!

What kind of sick humour is this?

It can't be right. I could understand if I hadn't collected all 16, or if at least a time limit to start crafting had been specified, in which case I would have simply started before cut-off. Instead, all my time, money and efforts completing all heroic stages so many times I can't recall, to get all the crystals, goes up in smoke for no justifiable reason. Not only is it insulting and abusive, but it must also be borderline illegal taking away something promised (on which real money was spent) without warning or justification. It may be a game, but it is a commercial venture and must respect certain rules, or am I missing something?

I now cannot even enter the game unless I agree to convert the 8 star crystals to fusion boosts, which I don't want to do...

Do I have any recourse to get either my money or gems back, or still being able to craft the Epic+ armor?

I was starting to really enjoy playing this game regularly, making really good progress, getting into one of the top guilds, becoming Bronze medalist in the Arena... Now I feel robbed and taken for a ride.

Sorry for long message but would appreciate if anyone has any insight and could provide help/guidance on what I should do now.

Thanks in advance
