As a regular player of the game (now) I want to know if we are going to get a chance to receive the crusaders we missed out on. It's a shame the newer players or even the ones who just don't get to play it all the time are missing out on the full experience of game and just have to settle with what we managed to be around for. You don't necessarily have to give them to us for free we could use our a small amount of rubies or a larger amount of idols or even money if people desire to. I feel giving us the players this option would hugely improve our attitude towards the game if we were able to have the teams we desired. Thanks for taking your time to read this!

but be aware that I do believe that they have said that all events are going to be repeated every year, so at the least one just needs be patient. LOL

I was not being funny, but being honest.
Even people that have all or some of the event crusaders can only wait to have them have uncommon gear if they only have common, or rare if they have less, or epic gear if they have less...
events are short lived things, and rewards are permanent but upgrades to rewards depend on getting them during that limited time.
