Okay I like many others just don't bother with the current elites anymore, due to the trash drops, here is one mans idea
The Crystaline entity is good because its so hard,, it would be easy for them to make it even harder,
I'm thinking you must be in a team of 40, outside the instance to start it, no pug grouping for this one :-)
Top prize is one baby crystaline entity Combat Pet, only one person out of the 40 will get this,, the rest will get advanced xii weapons and other such items,
the instance should take a good two hours, if the group doesn't FAIL
I really do feel such boss instances with good drops would bring back some much needed team play in to STO
though it may not directly make the game more money,, it will keep people playing, AND that will make this wonderfull game more money.
I agree, we need instances that require greater teamwork, more players, that take longer to complete, that does not have a timed bonus reward, that drops better loot and also have multiple boss's in one instance.
I also think they should rework the personal reward system. Lets face it, how many maco or omega parts have you got multiple times but have never gotten that PSG or ENGINE or what ever you need, but your buddy always gets that item you need and you always get the item they need. So add a universal drop box, this would include map only items that people could need, greed or pass on. The personal reward drop should only contain level appropriate consumables, consoles, weapons or items.
Before someone says this rewards system will never work in PUGs, well a lot of things don't work in PUGs. Does not mean they are broken or useless.
