Sorry but, what are you talking about? I've never had a problem picking them up, nor have I seen anybody else having issues. Was your stack melting by any chance?
Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.

When the game decides your snowballs melt, they ALL melt.
Nothing can stop this.
Wrong.
you can split the stack, and the new stack that is created gets it own new 10 minute timer.
If you have over 1,000 snowballs in storage it will take several minutes to clear before you can pick up more and they appear in your power window.
Solution:
Stop being so cheap Cryptic and make them all "unmelting" instead of selling snowballs for crying out loud.
Or make them last longer.
1 hour Snowball melt timer, already on Tribble as of yesterday.

Oh for the love of........RIGHT CLICK A SNOWBALL STACK AND SELECT THE "DISCARD ALL" OPTION. How hard is that? That's what I do when they start melting so all the new snowballs I'm getting are the only snowballs I have.
You people are doing it the hard way waiting for them to melt. :eek:
Edit: Read post before mine. I still stand by my statement.:P
Seriously, people need to stop moaning about the snowballs melting. The snowman attack event is usually over in a few minutes (often times it's over in 2-3 minutes after it starts) so gather snowballs about 1-2 minutes before the event starts that way they won't melt while you are attacking snowmen. The event happens on a fixed schedule at every 30 minutes on the top and middle of the hour.
Other workaround (that worked just fine for me) and it only takes one click.
If you have multiple stacks of snowballs and the first one hits it timer and starts melting, just move that one to a lower place in your inventory. Any future pick-ups will go to the newer (currently) un-melting stack.
That said, I've never had a problem picking up while the stack is melting, even when the snowballs are going into the melting stack.

You have to pull them from your power window, then you can add more.
Sticky Please!
I found what the problem is:
The melt mechanic.

I tried splitting them, I had one on my Toon and one in Inventory? I will try again.
I just Discard All of them shortly before the snowmen come and quickly reload.
