The nerf didnt even give credit for some commendations

I can fully relate. When I reported this to the team, I just got a rough answer like "rare dev will look at the issue and probably will forget about it either way". I'm very dissapointed with the last update, its one of the most controversial ones. Not only shouldn't curses be in the pirate emporium, but also the nerf of season 12 commendation without rewarding / compensating those that went through the tough grind is just disrespectful as they devalued the time and effort of those that completeted the commendations before they were changed.
Here is the dialogue (i censored the player supporters name so people dont go after him):

Dear Rare employee, I am a dedicated pirate, who enjoys putting time and effort into this game. My grind has always been proven to be worth it: Until your last update 3.0.2. You've made commendations originating from the start of season 12 easier to unlock. I get your point: You want to make it more accessable. However, me and many more people, who went through a tough grind to unlock a cosmetic that does not only look great, but also would have potentially stayed rare as the grind before 3.0.2 wouldn't attract lot's of people to go through, feel scammed by the changes you've made. I unlocked the Midnight Prowler Hull through reaching Grade 5 in the "Holey Wood Holes" commendation before 3.0.2 and let me tell you: Hitting 1000 scattershots is NOT an easy task, it is time consuming, it requires a lot of ressources and hitting those scattershots is especially hard in ship battles compared to regular cannon balls. You've reduced that amout by 1000% meaning from hitting 1000 scattershots on an enemy vessel to 100! Not only did you destroy the rarity this commendation offered before your update, but also devalued the time and effort lots of people put in grinding those items. As you can probably tell from my tone I am very frustrated as well as many more pirates I've talking with about this issue are too: Making commendations easier... I get that, but not compensating those that went through the hard grind? It's just ridiculous as grinding and then pridefully showing off your style always had been a fundamental core of this cool game, I am sorry for expressing this issue in such a manner. However, I hope you can understand what pirates like me think about the last update. We don't see as much motivation to invest much more time into this game since our rewards had been devalued and we fear this could happen again in the future. We wish for any compensation and please next time more understandment for the grind of the people. Best regards, Clxppyyy

Ahoy there Clxppyyy!

Sadly, we are unable to provide any form of compensation.
However, your report has been forwarded to our Team and it is currently under investigation.
We're unable to share any information in regards to the investigation process as we are not directly a part of it.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear [...],
Thanks for your response. I don't really get what you are trying to say: Do you mean you, as a Player Supporter, cannot compensate and therefore this issue has been forwarded to the Rare Team in order to react / to do so or isn't there such a thing as a compensation not possible / available at all? In that case, I'm that case, where a compensation cannot occur, I'm asking myself: What is the reason for an investigation?

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,

Correction (and something to add):
In that case, where a compensation cannot occur, I'm asking myself: What is the reason for an investigation?
If you cannot follow the investigation process, how will I find out about the outcome? Is a Rare employee contacting me or what?
