If the game was clear on how many you could get and from where, and there weren’t numerous bugs preventing people from doing stuff (why would only the first disc quest give you them? Thankfully I had a third alt that hadnt) I would suspect people would be less upset.
All the available information said the max achievable this week would be insufficient to buy. When there is a known bug that was exploited (not saying you did) and seeing people do something they were told they cant, coupled with the insane amount of bugs in general this patch, it is not an unreasonable assumption at all to think you did something funky.
