At the risk of looking like a jerk, I see a lot of people who aren’t very thankful. Is this the equivalent of being given a single donut hole when you were hoping for a box of donuts? Maybe. Still, even 200 honor that is ridiculously trivial to obtain in a Faction event is 200 honor you didn’t have before.

That wasn't my point and I (thought I'd) made that quite clear with my first paragraph.
I just had a Voyage return that I'd also spent very little time thinking about, that dispensed 1000 honour. Why would I spend real money/dilithium on these packs?
ETA - I don't think you're a jerk and I hope I'm not coming across as one. I'm too long in the tooth to actually care about this crap anymore. I like to discuss it but I'm long past caring. Which is sad for STT but, hey-hum.

I'm not sure if my comment is among those that came over that way, but I was referring to the ET offers themselves. My achievement pull turned out to be a good one, as it allowed me to freeze a 4*, so I have nothing to complain about. Even if it had been 200 honor, I wouldn't complain about it (even though I wouldn't probably feel thankful about it either).
I just don't understand why the 650 dilithium pull doesn't guarantee at least an elusive super-rare. Putting a 650 dilithium price on something that will most likely turn into 200 honor for most people will almost certainly lead to a lot of disappointed players.
I won't complain, because I got a Mutated Paris to make mine 3/4*, but I didn't get any "elusive" crew from a bought 650 pull. Got the Paris, Miss Q (FF), and Taresian Kim (frozen) as choices. Have better hope for the achievement pull.

Given what they charge for the pack, I understand why they only gave a 1x. The real problem is what an awful deal Elusive Treasures are. 6500 only guarantees 1 elusive 5*, everything else could be normal portal. And 650 offers no guarantees.
What the pack should be is every 1x guarantees at least 1 elusive 4* in the behold. And the 10x should then guarantee 1 elusive 4* in every behold, an elusive 5* in every begold, and at least 1 5* begold. Then at least your 650 dil is guaranteeing one of the featured crew.
A pack like that I would think about buying. The pack as it stands now is not worth the DIL.
I'm thankful for the 200 honor I will probably earn from the pack, but that's all they're giving us, 200 honor and a tiny chance of an elusive crew we don't have.
Interesting you mention the golden goose. Are you implying that DB killed the golden goose (us) with their greed? Or that we killed the golden goose, because I'm not sure how that works...

my single blue portal pull from the campaign was better than my elusive treasures pull....I got 150 Enterprise A schematics and leveled it up a level......

That sounds almost exactly like mine, same ship and all! I'm hoping it is a sign I'll be seeing more ships and not the same few over and over again.

It's a faction event. Everyone should be able to complete this achievement in just a few hours. The extra day would be completely irrelevant.
or minutes with the kick-start. I forgot about it completely, and saw the "1" by the Daily Missions and found the temp achievement, only about 10 minutes after my first shuttle sent.
While I appreciate the sentiment of a free 1 pull ultimately mine was hot garbage, a FF SR behold with NO ELUSIVE crew..
Don't get me wrong I am happy to support the game, and I am VIP 14 but this just cements my case that once you reach a certain level, packs are no longer worth buying especially packs like ET which just give the same crap you could get from normal pulls.
The Achievement gave me another star on Platonian Kirk, which was better than the 200 honour for the one i spent 650dl on. I suppose at least you get honor if there is nothing else on the fruit machine of packs win line. All the more for the next sale.

I always had a feeling they only contained the Treasures but having never pulled one I wouldn't know...
I really wanted Harry Kim

All purples/honor btw.
Was actually a bit torn here. Barak is FE, but I took Kirk for possible event use.
Yeah, def lucky as she was just in a Tuesday pack and I wanted to try for her but Tuesday packs are tough.
At least my campaign pull was better.
