Lack of New Crew in Events

WRG has recently stifled game participation with a lot of rerun events including this week's with no new characters. They would get a lot more people actually engaging in weekly events with new crew which run 4 days rather than sprinkling them in the Honor Hall, Voyages, and Gauntlet irritating many in the the player fan base.
I have been stopping several recent events at 130000 points and this week with no new crew and nothing at 400000 I will be doing the bare minimum of 2000 for each half. If they are running out available and approved crew, have some events with one new crew until they start building up a healthy of new crew in reserve ready to unleash into the game. That is when they should be doing the experimenting of adding new crew to the game in new ways.

H: Inevitability
Its been said time and time again, eapecially as of late: the game died a long time ago. Those who are still playing are just sucking on the vapor trails.
Why don't you do us a favor, if you are so unhappy - move on...leave those of us that enjoy the game for whatever reasons to have fun
It’s always the guest accounts that whine the most. There is no point having in them in the forum. The forum account should be tied to an active game account by the DBID number.
I like the idea of revisiting some of the older events, if it means I can get the last copy or 2 of a particular crew without having to spend dilithium to do so. This week I'll be able to immortalize my Keyla without much effort, provided we hit the 2nd community reward threshold. Otherwise I'll have to actually build a bunch of crap to get the last copy of her in the regular rewards tier.
The problem with games that have to constantly introduce new characters/ships/etc. instead of developing ways to use existing units in creative ways is that a lot of the game's structure becomes obsolete.
It's understandable that you enjoy the game and want others to respect that, but it's important to acknowledge the concerns raised by the original poster. Criticism and feedback can actually be beneficial for the game's growth and improvement.
People have different expectations and preferences when it comes to games. By engaging with dissatisfied players, the developers can gain insights into what aspects need improvement and potentially attract a wider audience.
If everyone who is unhappy with the game were to quit without voicing their concerns, there would be no impetus for the developers to make necessary changes. Constructive criticism can help drive positive transformations and ensure that the game evolves to meet the desires of its player base.
A thriving community is crucial for the long-term success of any game. By fostering an environment where feedback is welcomed and valued, the developers can demonstrate their commitment to the player community. This, in turn, can lead to increased player retention and attraction of new players.
Many players invest time, effort, and sometimes money into a game they love. It's not unreasonable for them to express their opinions when they feel dissatisfied. By acknowledging their concerns and working to address them, the developers can foster a sense of trust and loyalty among the player base.
Games need to adapt and grow to remain relevant and enjoyable. By addressing the criticisms and suggestions put forth by dissatisfied players, the developers can breathe new life into the game, attract more players, and create a stronger and more vibrant community.
But if you want to just fall back on “get out of my clubhouse unless you are willing to fight anyone who criticizes this game”, you are free to do so.
The difference is the same person can churn through multiple guest accounts. Since Shan left and no one is actively monitoring these accounts, there seem to have been a growth in guest accounts all complaining about the same thing.
It's likely the Princess Uhura multiverse.
I understand why there is sometimes a need to rerun Galaxy events like the one this weekend and I'm not so much bothered by the lack of new crew, but I think the community rewards need to be more valuable to entice participation. I am not quite sure what that would be specifically, I just know that a single 10x pack is not enough in 2023 to move the needle. Maybe have rerun Galaxy community rewards give us 2,500,000 credits and 500 Quantum to get us 50% of the way toward a retrieval?
It's quite ironic that the person who posted this statement is completely anonymous themselves. They talk about the importance of having names and verifiable contributions to the community, yet they don't seem to apply that principle to their own online presence. It's easy to demand identification from others while hiding behind a fictional username. Is your real name Bylo? Is that avatar your real portrait?
Your statement basically boils down to indicate that you dont certify any one as a member of this community on here unless someone has spent some unknown, arbitrary amount of time as part of this community. Its shocking that you dont see the paradox.
This seriously made me “LOL” when i saw that one of the users whos standing on a soap box calls themself “sulus husband”. So, this person is not anonymous because they put a non sensical, delusional string of characters together?
My fleet mates warned me that the forum was toxic. My god were they right! My first post here and people lash out telling me to quit the game.
Everything has pros & cons. This way DB lowered the fences for more feedback from paying customers, but at the disadvantage these people aren't recognizable by every forum user. Additionally, not all feedback giving players want to be recognizable by other forum users (whatever the reason is), nor want to stick forever with a name they had to choose in a hurry, because they simply wanted to give more detailed feedback aside a limited store review system.
In the end, WRG is a money earning company, so as much feedback as possible is of the most importance to keep the coins rolling.
By the way, if DB had wanted, they could have chosen to use BorgDroneNumberX instead of GuestNumberX. It really doesn't make any difference.
TY for you option, sorry about the forum, people can be VERY opinionated; you can always Ignore peeps who are not very welcoming, I just wanted to show you not everyone is toxic. LL&P, IDIC
