Concerning the new campaign writing room.

My concern is with the crew you grant us for this campaign.
The orinary campaign has not been giving us usefull crew for a while but this time it"s worse then ever.
Herbert Rossoff was just given to us courtesy of last event. So who exactly did you figure would work a month to gether the points to get a crew he allready has? Picking a worse choice at this time would not be easy, but I have faith in your ability to manage it anyhow.
To get the existing legendary crew you actually have to pay. I doubt many would pay to get this months brilliant pick Kay Eaton. The only way you"re going to sell her anyhow is because the only way to get the new legendary Albert Macklin, probably a pretty good one, is to also buy the old legendary.
And so the theme of trying to irritate your paying fanbase continues. You"re getting pretty good at this.
In all seriousness please reconsider Herbert allmost any other crew would be better.
Also I, and I imagine many paying customers, would appreciate it if the existing legendary would not be totally useless. Perhaps next time? I would really like that as this is my favourite game, notwithstanding some very poor choices of you lately.

There’s nothing wrong with Kay Eaton. If I don’t like Albert, I will likely pay for Kay since I have her at 1/5 and this keeps me topped up on Dil.
Shockingly not everyone has the same game experience as you do.
As for the 4*, yeah not the best choice given recent events. They probably should have gone with Roy Ritterhouse, but that card isn't in the Writer Collection. I think the problem is there aren't many 4* cards in that collection AND that are in the Far Beyond the Stars set. But as it comes to the 4* card in the campaigns, I'm a big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Maybe Author Doctor or Best Selling Sisko would have been better for the 4*. I don't know it's all 200 honor for me.
So what would you say to someone like me, who needs 2 more copies of Kay to gold her, and had been planning on dipping into my very small horde of gold cites before I saw this campaign announcement? That, in your opinion, I quote: " I doubt many would pay to get this months brilliant pick Kay Eaton." and so I should just not bother?
C'mon, try and remember that there are players younger (in levels and playing time) than you who are still building their crew rosters. Have you forgotten what it was like when you were a lowly Level 50 captain, in awe of the crew other players had collected?
I will agree with your point on Rossoff, that they should have picked one of the other ones to feature instead of offering a crew repeat.
Maybe adding Roy to the Collection and having him be the 4 🌟 would have been good. Some may argue he was technically not a writer, but the artwork was a key part of the stories in the old sci-fi pulp magazines. The artwork often incorporated actual elements of the stories. It's been a while, but the latest edition of "Writers of the Future" I have still had artwork that fit each story. A clear homage to the old pulps.
Pabst is a 4*, a writer and from the same episode. I’m pretty sure I used him sometime in the near past but at least he wasn’t given away last event.
My best guess about this behavior was to help obtain all copies for folks who may not complete the campaign. However that defeats the purpose. I do try to think of all levels of players. The campaign is supposed to encourage daily play. I do find that to be a bit contradictory and not rewarding or encouraging to participate.
Secondly, my concern is this….
So I get nothing? Psyc 🤪
Or Arena rewards? (And btw there has been no goodies that I see)
Instead of campaign?
Jake & the Author were the only passable choices for purps as both Rossof & Pabst have both been offered in the past few weeks
From a personal point, Kay is a bit disappointing as I just spent 2 cites on her for the mega
The writer collection IS a very poor collection with Kay being the second best after the new Benny so you can't really complain why they chose her. True, the timing is bad given you could have gotten her just recently
I would have liked M'Ress, War Jake or Kelis
Overall, writers was a very lame choice for a campaign due to the lack of existing, nevermind good cards
It being a holiday weekend, some understanding of her absence made sense. But, it is now going into the Wednesday after the holiday weekend, so hopefully we will hear something soon™️
