Request relating to Q's photos

So I was thinking:

With everything that happened to the world in December, there are players (like myself) who may be outside of the 10-day window to get 1000 photos.

Cryptic, this is your chance to show that you care about your playerbase, by doing 2 things when the winter event ends:

A-Re-Binding any remaining photos to "Bound to Account". This would allow those who have multiple characters the ability to shuffle around extra photos to cover any remaining (I persoanlly think I'm going to be 40-80 short).

B-Keep the Q Appreciation package and the Breen ship in the LOBI store for players to work on getting.

I honestly hope you do these things Cryptic. Otherwise, my opinion of you caring about your playerbase is going to disintegrate.

    I don't mean to sound rude, but, unless I've missed something, the Holiday Event runs through Jan 14th. So, unless you started collecting the pics around mid December, you should have more than enough for the Breen ship by the 14th.

    Seems like they care a lot about their playerbase to make something they could have sold in lockboxes available for free. They can't make it available forever though, its still supposed to be somewhat rare like lockbox ships and jemhadar ship.

    Rare? Really? Hell, I was at Earth Space Dock earlier (in my Sovereign). I swear ever other ship was one of these Chel Grett Warships. These things are far from rare. They're like swarms; they're everywhere.

    Honestly, The only thing I would like to point out, is I believe the Ship is tied to the Holiday Vendor. Even if they made the photos bound to account after the event, it would mean nothing, as there is no one to turn them into.

    ...And that's why they gave us 35 days to collect them...

    This means that player captains that can participate in the event 25 times during the 35+ days that the Winter Event will be active

    And what about Cryptic's opinion of the player base? you just disintegrate it... :/

    39 to be exact. Plus you can do it every 20 hours, so its indeed a little more than that.

    According to the Dev's Blog...
    If, by some stroke of bad luck, you find yourself incapable of participating in the event the required number of times, this does not mean you?ll have missed your chance to earn the Breen Warship! The Lobi Crystal Consortium is selling ?Q?s Appreciation Package? for just 5 Lobi Crystal, which will contain 2-6 of his sought-after Autographs. Although this is a large investment in Lobi Crystals for players seeking to purchase the ship outright, remember that the price can be significantly reduced by simply running the ?Fastest Game on Ice? on a daily basis.

    With everything that happened to the World in December, including myself working a 12 hour shift on both Christmas Eve and Christmas day, I still managed to collect all the photos I needed and got my Chel Gret today. (Thanks cryptic! :))

    That said, it would be a slap in the face for all of us that did manage to collect the photos by sacrificing some sleep in my case if they were made any easier to get.

    It is nice that the Lobi vendor is there to allow others to get the ship, but they will have to spend the money instead of the time.

    The only request I have is so you can purchase a Framed Q Picture Wall Trophy for those of us that don't care about the ship. :P

    i will quote something from the general chat:

    "So, half of Starfleet will be flying around in a ship meant for icemen and we cannot have an endgame Constitution class because? . ."

    yes pls - i want a Q poster in my captain's quarters!!!

    Yeah,

    I feel for you OP but I just can't reach ya.

    The event was started on Dec 6 2012 and runs till Jan 14 2013 so that gives us all 38 days to get the ship for free (all 7 of my alts got theirs today).

    Get has many races in has you can and if you come up short you'll have to buy the Lobi.

    Good Hunting!

    I'd rather they make the ship box account bound. Then upon claiming the ship it becomes toon bound.

    Perhaps They will extend the closing date for another week.

    I'm hearing unconfirmed reports that the unspent pictures of Q will "magically" disappear from the inventory once the even ends.

    Maybe the last week They will double the number of Q Photo's with each race...

    After all the ship is a Freebie, why not encourage more folks to keep trying.

    This. And a lesser lobi price in the last 5 days, for people who couldn't play on december for work, family, and other real life issues. :o

    I don't want it "outright", but it'd be laughable if the free winter event ship was the only one we couldn't afford because it's ridiculously overpriced. I have every single lockbox ship, but this one... it's really, really too much for what it is, ie not an outstanding ship. :rolleyes:

    This happens every time when we get something for free , it is TRIBBLE or time to aquire them must be longer.

    36 days to get q photos , 40 Q photos per race/day , 25 days to get 1k q photos if you are going on free way , you can buy q photos with lobi crystals.
    Even if this Q winter wonderland event last 2 months you will still see on forums that somebody will ask for extending time to get ship.....i just dont understand how hard is to get online in game for about 5 mins to finish race...5 MINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in day.
    So im quite sure that they wont extend time to get ship because there was plenty of time available to get it , 5 minutes per day on race for 40 q photos is great and easy way to get breen ship.

    My message for everyone who want more time to get ship is this: ...." insert random insult here "..... " insert pimp slap mk XII ".

    I went away for Christmas and couldn't play STO for several days. Heartbreaking, I know.

    I got the Chell Gret yesterday, without spending any Lobi on it.

    Thought I would put in my two cents here, as I was going to make a topic.

    I would simply love to see them change the Q photos and/or the packaged Chel Grett to "Account Bound" I have a newer character I was unable to run the races with due to level limitations.

    Having the items account-bound wouldn't change Cryptic's want to not have the exchange full of ships.

    It, however, would be very convenient for me. =)

    No disrespect to oper, but you had like 39 days, you only had to run it 25 times, I realy dont see how much more they need to do to give you a free ship, i got it on 5 of my toons allready and could had on my other toon but was no need to, even if you just hoped on to run the race it takes what 3 minutes all togeather, the ship is a good ship and its free so if they do nothing else about getting it , i cant much blame them.
