Really annoyed at the lack of clarity regarding disenchanting skin shards

So a lot of people got screwed by not disenchanting our Skin Shards before their value went way down for no reason. What annoys me the most is the lack of clarity telling us to do so before the patch. There were plenty of warnings to disenchant champ shards, which I did. The decision to disenchant Skin Shards, however, was not very clear.

Let me show you something from the official FAQ

The only part that tells you to disenchant skin shards is labeled under "BLUE ESSENCE". Why on earth would you do this? Not only that, but even the bolded part only refers to generic "shards" and "essence". To top it all off, not once in the entire atricle did you ever even mention "orange essence". You're really cant understand how there would be confusion here?

I lost nearly 5k OE because of this and I can tell you I am not happy. I really cant fathom that you 'accidentally' labeled the only part talking about orange essence as "BLUE ESSENCE"

With the rest of these changes overall I can tell you you've made me and a ton of others quite angry.

I fell for this same trick. I disenchanted all my champion shards but had no idea that orange essence was getting devalued as well. Give us a chance to fix this Riot!

It was in the notice in the client for weeks before preseason hit. This is entirely your fault.

it was viral on boards and for a solid 2 weeks before it happened it was a little ---> ! <---- telling you to do this for value. you just missed it.

maybe if you actually played the game you would have noticed the change. but be real here who sat on their champion shards, they DE'd all of them for blue essence for mastery token upgrades.

if you read closely in the first paragraph they say that they are nerfing all shard types did they specify how tuned down for all shards fuck no because they were already getting enough back lash from other shit...so they would rather just kinda hide that shit in the background an let the people focus on one thing instead of 3+ and then just wait for the shit to hit the fan and say... Well we did state here "_____" that we were making these changes but you didn't pay enough attention to it so who's more at fault here you or us which inturn just pisses more people off at riot for pulling the same BS they have with any major changes they make to league like the jungle reworks and nerfing krugs because junglers hitting level 3 and actually playing the macro of the game early was "BS" when really riot just wants to take your money and make you leave a few years down the road to make room for new players who will have no idea how under handed and deceitful rito is and won't learn until $50-100 later that oh riot is just a corporation who happens to have made their living off of the game that people like Like lets see who else Has a game like that Oh wait DE (Digital Extremes) and their Warframe I mean Farm Simulator Forever Game where they just want you to grind your ass off or Pay them Money
