If you have not learned to roll with the punches there yet, then yes, prepare to be disappointed often. It is what it is.
Yes, there's a word in the English language for it. That word is "rigged".
Rigged to do what exactly?
<Added material (edited)> Sorry I engaged then. I just don’t think Gauntlet is an evil conspiracy. If you want to say it is rigged in some way to, I guess, make you spend dilithium, prove it.
Not sure how the rest of you are getting your copies of TK&K. I know you are because I keep getting matched up against dozens of them.
Since this card was introduced I've carried many win streaks over 100, I've come first place over a dozen times, I've even tried the coy approach several times and deliberately finished back in the pack. Nothing works!

This copy came from placing 2nd a few hours ago:
All the rest were top 5-15. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same here, gotten extra copies of all BUT TK&K. Maybe its time (past time) for the reward to be a behold instead a single crew.

If it's a behold of a gauntlet crew & 2 other regular golds like in the campaign, then why not
But an all gauntlet behold makes absolutely no sense (IMO)
I have yet to hit the dabo jackpot with a single pull, but twice now I’ve somehow been blessed with a gauntlet crew without doing a battle matchup.
First was Red Angel quite a while ago and last week I got the Klingon twosome in my single box. I sometimes do the battles but mostly because of my work schedule I’ll just have time to set up my gauntlet crew and when I get back to the game the gauntlet is done and I have a single box reward.
It is very odd that when Ive actually competed and won the top prize I’ve had mostly trainers, equipment. I’ve had gauntlet crew only twice out of quite a few wins, but then I don’t even play and I’ve won crew twice. I’m not complaining mind you but having that possibility exist is maddening. I’ve been lucky during the entire gauntlet run and been able to get at least one copy of each. I also am still about 50 battles from winning the Locutus achievement. Most of my gauntlet crew wins have just been random happenings, small streaks, one of 50 in a row, but mostly middle of the pack box picks.
It isn’t always about streaks, how high you win, what crew you use, or even if they are topped out at that level 100 single star, it’s just plain old lottery luck that gives the best awards. At the very least set up your crew each day. Even if you don’t play it you can win.
I've won nearly every Gauntlet I've entered since late January...
...I am tired of being a bully...
...I have crossed the line of fun, this is not fun anymore...
...and I would willingly stop except I am a big fan of Jonathon Archer...
...so I keep trying in vain to complete my Archer collection...
...but my RNG is broken/stuck or something else is going on so...
...I ask again, may I be allowed to just buy a copy? I've CLEARLY put in more effort than you have a right to require so name your price, send me a PM with your price, give RNGesus an energy drink, or whatever needs doing, but this is beyond ridiculous at this point.

You are winning so much that the game thinks you do not need an Archer. I got mine on 3 box (es) not from final rewards, try hanging back abit.......... Good luck!

I don't know what you're complaining about; you got a legendary holonovel in there for Capt Proton. That's worth as much as a Gauntlet exclusive card, right?
I know you've seen me over the years complain about my lack of the Caretaker, so I won't bore you with it (though the card still hasn't dropped for me). But the point is I've given up and decided to not play the Gauntlet anymore, unless I have some other reason, like a requirement in an OE. I bring this up to suggest taking a break; you'll quickly see how great it is to not deal with this frustration. Also, it will reenergize you when go back in. Just a thought.
Both first copies of Balok and TKK came quickly for me but I’m still waiting for Archer. I didn’t get my first copy of Guinan until a few months ago. I’ll get him eventually.
When I earn whatever legendary is new and can quit playing the Gauntlet.

I finally got an Archer on my main account after about 6+ weeks, then today out of nowhere, a Mirror Mariner drops...on my SECOND (f2p) account! I hadn't been on the forums for a few days and missed the announcement of this. Very surprised and a little ticked off that it is so soon after Archer.

Quark runs Dabo. He doesn't give a fizzbin one way or the other about Gauntlet, there's no profit in it.
You get my point. RNG, so roll on. I could kvetch more, but why bother?
Indeed. Live long and prosper, @Drago Musevni . We will survive.
This.

Seems to me that you are the one going out of your way to make this into a debate.

I got both TK&K & Caretaker within 24 hour
Trouble is Caretaker is the only one I have FF 😄

Took me a couple days to get Archer.
