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.

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.
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?
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
