you've already negated your own statement though, you did get SOMETHING. Yeah it may have been just shards but at least you needed those for when gear eventually did drop. Now you get literally NOTHING! the first time this happened to me at daughters I thought the game glitched and didn't give me rewards, then I found out this was an intended mechanic (what kind of dumbass -blam!-tard thought this was a good idea?) and was even more pissed!
