So. Malik is a 4* whilst Persis is only a 3*. Despite her kicking Malik's **tsk tsk** in the Augment Trilogy.
Some of these card choices are odd to say the least.

TL;DR: Don't read into any of the crew choices compared to any other crew. It doesn't make sense and doesn't mean anything.
I have no idea what a "Drazi moment" is but I knew it wouldn't be long until you showed up to troll something I'd written.
My bad x2
I guess I'll go back to sleep now.
People were really "requesting Malik for some time" though? Wow. It's a shame that the game developers continue to mix up Forum Base for Player Base. The forum isn't a very welcoming place other than for those in the clique. Probably goes some way to explain why the game is dying.
So yes there may be a gender bias - but this has to be compared to character ratio bias as well before any conclusion could be reached.
But going by rarity - there are plenty of inconsistencies e.g. why does Crusher and Riker (age of sail) get to be gold yet Geordi is a purple
Why does borgway and borgana get gold rating and tuborg gets purple rating?
Calling these inconsistencies implies some requirement or expectation that they be consistent. There is no requirement, and there shouldn't be any expectation. Character rarity and strength has more to do with gameplay and marketing than any statement of a character's relative strength or importance in the Star Trek universe.
1) Guess I'm that predictable. And trying to interject some humour in the obvious gender based troll clickbait may be considered tit for tat if you want to label it a troll.
2) What methodology would you use to gather the desires of the player base other than the forums and the periodic surveys they send out?
3) What measuring stick (revenue, number of players in events, arena, ad revenue, etc) do you use in stating that the game is dying?
totally agree i should have put that word in speech marks, i was going by the OP's apparent expectations.
1) I cannot find the question there so will take it as a statement. I still don't know what a "Dralix" is so I would question your use of the word "Humour". If you have to explain something, it is usually not funny.
2) The periodic surveys are great - I did not imply that they were at fault (although whether DB actually listen to them or fit their narrative into the result is a different debate). The forums on the other hand are too narrow in opinion, certain people pop up again and again. The "person that shouts loudest" approach is not very reflective of any group.
3) I don't have any measurements. DB don't release that stuff. I hold my hands up - it is just a gut feeling (not just mine) based on a mixture of factors. I have played since the beginning and have never felt so much apathy from friends in game. Then there was the "restructure". The desperate attempts to make people part with a few coins in the form of offers. Etc etc.
Hello
“Pallidyne is a troll.”
“The hundreds of people on the forum are nothing at all like anyone else playing the game.”
“Who could possibly ever want Malik?”
“The game is dying.”
Are there any more entirely baseless and patently silly accusations or comments you want to toss about? I’m curious...really. Bonus points if you call someone a shill for DB.
The one thing I will give you is that the forums can be toxic. People really care about the stories and characters in this game and are a little too quick to tear someone else down when there is a difference of opinion. But I don’t think there is a clique here...far from it. <snip> Let's not make it personal. ˜Shan
Well, I got it even if it’s to old/obscure for some.
Sorry. A "Drazi".
Please feel free to close it.
I was at error with my original points. He killed her and she is a two star. So moot points.
I will go and be a Drazi somewhere else.
Remember this franchise has boldly gone with social issues few have dared to go since its inception as well. Should DB go down that path, it's up to them, though success may vary.
Last, but not the least... It's a game. Have fun playing it.
Considering you can't actually make these requests in game, DB takes feedback from Facebook, Twitter and the Forums. DB also keeps in mind, that it doesn't represent the whole player base. However if you have to decide between ENT Era Augment Malik, and "random Khan henchman we pasted Picard's head on for that one 5*" knowing that some people are actually requesting Malik makes that choice easier.
When you come in and say something completely wrong, and everyone disagrees with you, it doesn't mean they are a clique. It means it is really obvious you are wrong. Combine being wrong with a trolly title, and yeah people have a short fuse for it.
Is the game dying or the highest population it's ever been? I feel like we alternate back and forth every five minutes based on what point someone without any actual numbers is trying to make.
I disagree slightly. I feel as if JeanLucKirk, Jesus is Lord, and I have a clique thing going on. They just get me man and I appreciate them. I only hope we are considered the cool lunch table.
There's no rhyme or reason to it. It just...is what it is. (Although if anything, I'd say it has more to do with DB basically abandoning one, two and three star cards than anything else).
The only one that bothers me in this regard:
