Of course I’m happy for myself. Of course I understand the frustration. Of course the same people who say they will stop spending are largely the same individuals who declare they will stop spending every month. Of course the majority of people who actually take the double up offers are too invested to stop.
I.e this so called apology was just a kick in the balls when already lying crying on the ground due to the state of this game and lack of foresight from their actions.

Some, no doubt. But speaking as someone who has seen many large spenders leave the game entirely due to dissatisfaction - in some cases, not long after spending big - I have to say you're wrong if you think there are no repercussions to this kind of frustrating behaviour.
FF/FE ... had used honour during the first event because I figured he would have the most use of my 4/5 crew in the long run (e.g. future Picard events etc.) ... also reason I've given advice in Ready Room along those lines ... ah well ... it absolutely **tsk tsk** and would have preferred to just obtain a 5* citation (to FF the Kortar I just finished levelling and equipping today!) with a "here you go, use as you please" ... I guess the Honor will go some way to the next 5* citation I pick up ...
could you JUST imagine how much appreciation and thanks DB would have received if they had said... here is a 5* Citation to FF your Picard.. or another hard won Crew member..
not one person would have said "oh dang it! another 5* citation????"
... I guess the Honor will go some way to the next 5* citation I pick up ...
about 1/90th the way
We are all downstream from each other and ourselves, therefore choose to be relaxed and groovy. Consider participating in civil discourse, understanding the Tardigrade, and wandering with the Subspace Eddies.
People who bought a picard with real money are less likely to buy the 5* in the next mega event. If half of the 100 people with an already FF picard paid real world money then that was over $10,000 dollars given to DB. That is a potential loss of $10,000 in the next mega event.

As someone that fits this category spot on I can categorically say that my wallet snapped shut with a bang when I saw that “compensation”.
I’ll continue for a while, I have invested too much in this game not too, but saying that I have already downloaded a few new games I’m going to check out.
Immortalized already. I even waited to see if they were going to give out a fifth Picard with this event. 50,000 honor down the drain.
Here's what I don't understand:
Players who had A) spent $25 or B ) used 50k in honor to buy a citation got something worth 1/90th what the other players got. DB managed to please the customers who spend the least time and money on the game while simultaneously pissing off the customers who spend the most.
My wife does this to me all the time. Tells me sorry as she is hitting me in the head with a frying pan at the same time.
This game does make me feel like I'm in an abusive relationship from time to time.
This.

I see that this compensation was a great idea and very generous for 99 % of the playerbase who can FF Mirror Picard now. But the 1 % of the paying players feel pretty fooled now .
You have implemented the citations, why not better hand out a 5* citation for everybody, so people can chose whoever they want to promote. This will make everybody happy!
I used about a months worth of accumulated Honour to fuse him at the start of this event, this is the most cynical and useless ‘compensation’ they have ever come up with considering he was the recurring 5* of the outgoing mega event.
This sums up exactly the approach DB has always had for this game, total and utter contempt for their player base.

Thanks, DB ... I guess ...
How valuable is 550 honor to a paying player with 377 immortalized characters, 71 of which are Legendary ?
Answer : Not at all, really.
Speaking of which, DB, is there ever going to a point to us amassing such a large crew ?
My Purple Super Rares never get used for anything anymore, not even Voyages or Expedition events.
I'm pretty much out of crew to level or use my chronitions on, lol

That's exactly what I think will happen

+1. This is utterly ridiculous.

So add one more for FF.

I wonder how many people got the double whammy on this?
This.

This GIF is so beautiful and features my stance in this situation perfectly as well. *sniffs*
Also, in regards to this:
DB: Do Better.

I do feel bad for those poor saps who dropped real cash on the double up offer for him or lost a lot of honour points in buying him a star.

Exactly, a citation or dilithium.
