Merit Rewards taunting you with a false sense of hope

When purchasing a Merit Rewards pack for 725 merits.
As the crew reward is coming out of the portal you can clearly see the outer border is predicting a Legendary gold/yellow colour, making me thing YES, I’ve got a Legendary Crew.
Only to be instantly disheartened when it changes to Blue, Green or Black.
It does this often 😡
I wish they’d stop taunting us & just have it display the colour of which crew you’re getting through the pull!
It may only be for a fraction of a second but it builds up your hopes & crushes them almost instantly.

They are laughing at us
Looks like “The good place” plot where we are actually in “The bad place” and being tortured?
But yeah, seems like a simple programming change.
It's the same with shuttles now. Every shuttle is a winner! Even the ones that are losers! Put lots of shiney lights everywhere!
That's Trek in 2018 I guess.
My only hope is that I get 75 honour from 90K Pulls.
I have very low expectations.
FTFY
Get use to it.

Well considering I’ve yet to pull a Legendary crew from the Merit rewards, that conclusion of yours is clearly wrong.
Interesting as I’ve been tracking it a few weeks now and it’s been 100% accurate. I’m not doubting you but odd that mine are showing up that way. Same thing happens with 10x pulls as well, at least for me.
This just needs to be restated.
ALL PULLS.
Not just Merit ones.
Wow, I did not know such a thing was possible. That screenshot is incredibly uplifting!
I agree. But this one comes off as griping about a minor issue. And it's symptomatic of the general tenor of the forums at large these days. I've been posting here (and the previous iteration of the forums) a long time, but I've grown so weary of the negativity of late. I understand there have been recent things that some players felt upset about, but that seems to just be a catalyst to fume and grumble about a myriad of other things, and to look at every positive thing that's introduced with skepticism.
I have no problems with the game itself, but these piles upon piles of endless querulousness are seriously making me think about vacating the forums themselves, as much as I've gotten out of them in all this time.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

That would truly be a loss @Data1001 . The humor quotient would drop by 50%.
And I agree with this...
I also worry that it potentially diminishes the validity of actual grievances the community has.
And I wholeheartedly agree with this...
I would definitely hate to see Data1001 leave the community.
Don't leave us Mr. Data, we like you!😓
+1 here. Every time I see your name at the top of a post I know it is going to be a good read.
You’re lucky to have pulled x2 Super Rare crew.
The best I’ve pulled is Rare crew since they introduced the Merit Pack.
I’ve pulled a few dozen, one legendary, and strangely enough if was very shortly after I chose him as a begold option, which gave me 4/5, then immortalized when I got the merit pull.
