I'd side with the OP if there was one extra word in the title - Event. DB IS still churning out excellent 1/5 crew worth acquiring, except they're not putting them in events. I'm not saying that pack only crew is always great at 1/5, but in a featured 6 pack at least 1 is always a beast, extremely OP compared to legendary event rewards, whether base wise or proficiency wise.

I agree 100%. The event legends are 2nd tier to the "lottery" legends that only appear in special packs like 5* burnham.
Since we're all getting a 4/5 (at least) every other month now, there's no point bothering with 1/5 characters anymore.
Obviously whales can fuse anyone and everyone, but average players don't have resources to fuse more than a tiny handful of legendaries.
Getting a 5* character used to be something special, at least it was for me. Now, there's no point, because they will be outclassed by a mega-event character.
So my proud collection of 1/5 and 2/5 characters are fast becoming obsolete and I see no point in getting any more. Legendary behold? Or Event character? - No point, just airlock them. 1/5 is the new 1/4.
It might not be so bad if the 4/5s were characters you actually want. But fakes and minor characters from the latest train wreck of a series simply don't hold much interest for me.
I am increasingly wondering, what's the point at all anymore?
I agree just because the available place for the crew is reduced and those 1/5* use lot of space, but those crew are really usefull, could say irreplaceble on the Gauntlet: Guinan, Locutus, Kahless, Tempted Data, Seven of Nine, Degra (i don't have him), Defensive Phlox, and many other more, and they are really good wildcards for the Voyages, specially if the have 3 habilities and 1 or 2 of them are of the most required ones!

Agreed. I use a number of 1/5* crew in both gauntlets and voyages. Even in the arena I've found a use for one that fits well with my other crew.
