Peldor Joi Threshold Pull

I actually received a fairly decent pull in the threshold 10× Premium Portal reward:
3 beholds!!! Of course the 2nd behold was all immortalized but, given my past luck with these, this was a HUGE win.

(Just for the sake of transparency, I am on pace to have BY FAR my most successful faction event ever, and with 26 hours to go I am sitting at 182,482 and have been trying as hard as I can given my means - I will be lucky to hit the 250,000 threshold reward)
Anyway, happy for you guys, I am excited to see what you get!
But I totally agree with @ByloBand above. The positioning is odd as it is most likely honor for ppl who will get it. They could at least make it into event pack to make it a bit more useful.
I understand your reasoning, @ByloBand. It is logical. I don't normally do so well, but this event has been perfect for my crew. I've also used about 50 of my hoarded 3* time reducers and 6 of my new extra shuttles, but I've maintained top 300 pretty much the whole time while spending no money on it. I actually stopped most of the special boosts yesterday morning since I figured my 215 (at the time) rank was sufficient to remain top 1000.
I also see how difficult or deviding this event must be when I see my fleet has 4 people in the top 400 but the next best 2 are not until between 2500 and 3000.
I chose Mirror Troi.
DB has many flaws but excessive generosity isn't one of them. By the time you're able to reach the required VPs you won't need any of the content of that pull.
The problem is if you have the 4* fully fused, there is no point trying for threshold because the pull will likely be honour. At least a portal pull might be useful .... Unless you get Rogue Harry Kim....
To be clear, I’m not saying the complaints don’t have any merit whatsoever. I’m sure that newer players would appreciate an easier path to getting that pull. If it were up to me, I’d maybe move the 10x pull up a bit and then make the final threshold a nicer chunk of honor, say 5k or maybe even more. In absolute terms, honor points are probably the most valuable resource for players who are farther along, and I think you could easily get people to bust **tsk tsk** for it even at 400-450k VP.
So yeah, I’d maybe fine tune the new rewards structure, but I don’t see it as something to get up in arms about. This is, on net, an improvement.

I'm happy.
Who is complaining? I believe my exact words were "I find the addition of the 10x premium pack threshold reward and its placement fascinating." I actually know those were my exact words, because I scrolled back up, read them, and then copy/pasted them here.
Me thinks you're vastly overestimating the crew requirements needed for that... I just reached 350k and claimed the pull (not planning on using it yet) and theres still like third of the SRs I dont have at all while a fourth could use some more stars and vast majority of the golds i have are sitting at 1/5 with only 3 mega event ones FF...
So feel free to feel all grumpy if you want to, but I sure am loving these...
I can relate, I have 12 10x premium packs unclaimed currently. Until I can reclaim at least 6 crew slots, I'm not going to bother with them.
There are plenty of long time F2P or low spenders who jump at any chance to get a premium pull and can make 350k. There are other players who normally wouldn't make 350k, but are now incentivized to push harder to get it.
And other players still need random crew here or there. You can't get that crew without portal pulls.
Besides, if DB put 1000 honor there, people would be happy about it. Now they get the honor with a chance for something even better.
Point taken. I was thinking of getting a chance to fuse the new event SR . After the series of -gates, I am mostly F2P these days and end up with a bunch of 3/4 with no chance of getting another copy for months.
I used to get some packs from saved dil during faction/skirmishes when the legendary interested me. I would mostly end up FFing the new SR but sometimes got lucky and got the legendary. In those cases, I would then push for rank. But with the new rank structure, this strategy no longer works as you have already earned/or not earned the event legendary from the previous event. As a result, I have stopped all pack purchases until I figure out a good way to use the limited dil I have.
Happy with the result, third star on Tarah.
That gives me usually couple interesting drops I can feel good about. It's a psychology thing... prevents frustration :DD
My event pack earlier in the week left me with far more reaction...
...generally positive reaction at least (I had already leveled Weyoun 5 earlier in the week so didn't need rep fuel).
1. Voyage.
2. Have fun. If something isn't fun, don't do it.
3. Only pursue characters I care about.
4. Contribute to the fleet.
5. No more spending beyond monthly cards.
6. Have fun.
7. Voyage.
8. Have fun!
Even though you got another Weyoun 5 (grats btw), this kind of pull should simply not happen. There should be a cap on how many slots get occupied by schematics.
