Suffers from Holoaddiction & not classed as a Holodeck Enthusiast 🤔

Why isn’t ‘Duelist Barcley’ a collectible for
‘Holodeck Enthusiasts’?
Other collections have multiple veriants of the same character, why is only
‘Commander Barclay’
present?

Seemed like a decent amount of old and new characters with some difficulty to earn.
As much as people think this is a free hand it and needs to be easier, I think this is good the way it is.
And if we have Doctor La Forge, why not also Detective Data or Victorian Pulaski? Why not Prospero Data? Shouldn’t Lucille Davenport actually add to her own collection? And shouldn’t Dixon Hill Picard, Doc Crusher, and Gloria also apply?
Also if we have Princess Jadzia then I would imagine Queen Guinevere Kira should also apply.
Also Duelist Torres came about due to her holodeck obsession with testing her desire to feel alive. Like give us some parameters DB.
Captain of the voyage vessels: Queen of Bashir, Landsknecht, and Sunspear, the first luxury starship cruiseliners.
Amenities include wifi, fully-functioning holodecks, a full-service bar, 3 party decks, a Trill spa, and a business centre.
Fun fact: The ships are propelled by bouncy castle technology.
Perhaps, I’d just like a rhyme and reason to the choices. Now if DB just wants to say “it is what it is and that’s that”, I can accept that. But until they do, I’m going to presume it’s up for discussion.

Clearly there is scope for other holodeck collections (I'm thinking Our Man Bashir) and there's a considerable crossover between the super-rares in this collection and others which really makes those crew rather useful.

As you can see, there already is a Barclay in the collection, DB just choose to make Commander Barclay the representative.
Duelist Barclay is already in 2 other collections (Rare Crew, Innovator). Commander Barclay was only in one (Innovator). It makes more sense to throw Commander Barclay into the collection for several reasons
You're probably not going to see any character being part of more than 3 collections. The few characters that ARE part of 3 or more collections are few and far between.

All other collections are every character of easily identified classifications. Even the specialized ones (QPid, Wild West, Dixon Hill) is easily explained.
But this is the only collection that cherry picks one copy to artificially make it hard.
They even chose the wrong Barclay! By the Commander Barclay era of his life, he is no longer a holoaddict. Interfaced or Hologram Barclay would be may more appropo (interfaced: literally created in the holodeck and during the height of his holoaddiction, and hologram: his own representation, and still while holoaddicted).
If they wanted to make it hard, they could have simply increased the number of crew required for each reward tier, just like almost every other collection's rewards.
But this looks more like one person had a design and made sure that they broke every rule, made developers code outside of the box just to adhere to every iota of the idea.
Wrong episode. Duelist Torres is from when she got mind-melded into Pon Farr.
one commander barclay does not "Artificially make it hard". You JUST had every opportunity to obtain him and gotten all 4 stars on him and have spent $0 ... just time and effort.

Is she? They look awfully similar then

It looks like the logic here is the "instigator" of the Holoprogram is represented, not all the crew that person got to join in. I think Captain Proton would have better represented here instead of Delta F Paris, or make a whole new "Holo-addicted Paris" 4* for the collection instead. And Interfaced Barclay (or again, another new Barclay 4* or 5*) makes more sense than Older/Alt-timeline Barclay.
I do really like the reward structure, albeit very challenging to achieve. I hope more collections get this type of treatment.
You mean anytime a new crew that is inspiring, diplomat, borg, ferengi etc are added to they game they're not automatically eligible for the collection?
