I look at all the Romulan content as a HUGE waste of time vs STF - as soon as I am done I won't be going anywhere near that area.
Big fails in my mind
Missions give too low marks and no dilthium:
Take Azura rescue - max 18 marks for same time as infected and no dilthium - Infected I have gotten as high as 130 marks one time + 960 dilth + some purple gear.
It is a PAIN in the behind to go over to the sector + why go to new Romulus to chase bunnies for like 5 days then back for another 5 days doffing just to get the 400 marks - lame!
There is no transwarp there - there is a "Romulan" sub-heading at Tier 3 transwarp fleet hub - but no Tau sector - but a shuttle at tier 2 Embassy - Lame - let me transwarp from the main hub.
Sector patrol does the best marks but it is 1 time per day and boring as hell.
You are lucky to get a Red alert 1 time per hour - mostly sitting around waiting and 1/10 times you show up and nothing.
What the heck is the point when the rep system is done?

Stopped playing "Romulan Content" after realizing, Epohh Tagging can get me ~1000 Marks / week instead of 10 for 20minutes of Gameplay ...

You do know that there's a Romulan Upgrade project that will convert Romulan Marks into Dilithium??? (Which is easy enough to get if you're into Epohh Tagging/Breeding...)

How is that possible? say you go tagging ever day and group up for 4 tags - then hit only 1 data log each - that takes 5 days before you can get 1 epohh to start the doff raising - which to get the elder must take 4 days?
Are the Romulan sets mostly cut and paste of the old Reman?
Pretty much - identical set bonuses and marginally different stats (fugly too).
Re: the OP - I stopped the minute I hit Tier 5 in Rom Rep and got the few things I wanted from it - the only time I go back to Tau Dewa space now is whilst looking for Doff contraband missions for my KDFs.
No patrols, no running around the Atlai, no gathering radiation samples and no tagging epohhs - and I'm pretty glad about that

Because as with the WW Epohhs, once you've got a chain going, you can keep it going - but despite what people are saying, Epohh tagging is as much of a meaningless grind as any other part of Season 7 - yes, you can make a big pile of Marks doing it, but will you be having fun? I don't see how really.

Yep I agree, I have got thousands more Omega points verses playing Romulan Reputation missions for a menial amount. . WTF? I don't even think S7 is worth the effort or time a player puts into it. Where do they come off thinking S7 was a success in the first place? It sucks, but for the time being I drag on.
to answer the op, yes, i will never farm another romulan mark again once i reach t5 (which is soon).
to me, the quality and quantity of playable and replayable content in correlation to the amount of time it took the devs to develop it is astonishingly bad..
they obviously spent alot of time making the largest explorable map, inwhich you do nothing but a few simple click missions.. on top of that, they have failed to make people "want" to go back.. i know so many people who do two axura rescues a day just to get enouph romulan marks to level the rep.. they dont even want to set foot on the new romulus.
further more, this new romulus story line is perhaps the weekest story line i have seen to date in the game.. the very fact that the klinks are down there trying to help, or that the romulans would allow them to even view their planet is not likely.. i know its easier to make content when for both factions when you copy and paste, but seriously, anyone who has ever watched star trek, knows that the romulans and klinks hate eachother to a friggen T...

Everyone I talk to is daily looking at their rep progress on the Romulan side - desperate for the day it's finished - those that are done are like "thank the Lord"
I'm just gonna call the whole Reputation system a "sad piece of content".
It's difficult to describe in any other way and I can't remember seeing anything worse that was considered "content".
If Cryptic had some sort of consideration for players they would simply used EC to fill the material component of Reputation, for example, because that is exactly what it is, they're just making an embarrassing fuss about it.
i dont really do anything with new romulous i do the missions sometimes look around linger about but as for marks i do mine trap with good groups i get 40+ marks with a group during bonus rep event i get about 25 lol they only come out during the event...run them twice and rep done for the day

Of course it is ... but 5min of mindless grinding is still better than 5 hours of mindless grinding ... right now with WW you can get 700marks/week just with Winter Epohhs, and without critting on Doff Missions ...
Patch Notes : Resolved an Issue, where people would accidently experience Fun.
I didn't make it that long.
I think I completed Tier 4 on two toons, and then took a realistic view of what was available vs the price/time investment to continue.
Its a shame we cannot turn in our Winter Epohh's for Romulan Marks...
On the Romulan Content side, I will not, and have not been repeating the content since I got to T5. Its pretty lame.
The only exception is the Epohh tagging as I want to complete that atleast once so I can get one of those Romulan Experimental Beam Arrays.

There is a machine close to the girl that you can turn in the winter epohhs for marks - better get there now!!! Unless you were kidding!
Tier 5 gives you a bunch of marks and dilithium. I figure that's worth it... if nothing else, the Romulan quests that get unlocked are kind of interesting to run once.
And the gear is pretty much the only endgame gear, so that's nice -- I have an omega and romulan hyper-plasma torp launcher on one character, and enjoy that. Debating which characters I will work on to get Romulan plasma space weapons -- again, unless you are in a good fleet, it's just about the best you can get without paying through the *** on the Exchange.

As much as I wanted to like New Romulus, and I still kinda do. I don't see much point in wandering over to Tau Dewa to do anything once I hit T5. I am especially up in the air on whether or not I should buy any of the rep store stuff to begin with. Yes the map is pretty and at times I still like wandering around the place. And I did generally like the tier missions -- the Tier 4 one being my favorite by a long shot. I really do hope there is more in store because I think it would be a waste to have the zone fall dead.
Now as to what would keep me coming back would be some decent DOFF chains. I've really enjoyed that game wide, but Tau Dewa doesn't really offer anything. The New Rom research are a set it and forget it type deal and I haven't a clue what those datachips really do besides give accolades. I could care less about Epooh breeding. If there were say 5-6 longish DOFF chains that would be enough to get me over after T5 and I'd maybe run a sector patrol and do my 7 runs in Acamar for the semi-decent loot.
So your saying it's so bad and not worth doing any time but the bonus event - pretty sad!
no i come out other times i was referring to the people who come out during the bonus event and dont any other time so why it gets to low levels as 25 marks even 19 they simply arent around enough to know what to do. i do it whenever i need to for the marks normallyget on check things then do pvp stfs or mine trap depending on what i'm doing/low on/need/want then linger around awhile doing this and that for fun:)

Please explain to me how to go about doing this, I keep telling myself to start the Epohh thing but I never remember to look into it and just wait for the Red Alerts to get my Romie marks.
Doff chains would be very helpful. I often find myself with an annoying slog between Tau Dewa and the Cardassian sectors where there are decent chains and cool assignments for doff upgrades.
Tau Dewa assignments are... limited and boring.

1. Do the PVP Race in WW ... Research Epohhs with Tags ... one you got a chain ... 1 Epohh Elder / day = 100 Marks a day
2. Epohh Tagging New Romulus every day ... too lazy doing the math here ... but at least 2 Epohh Elders / week = 800 Marks / week ... once you got the whole "system" running

It's a Pain in the butt doing it on New Romulus - most people making mad amounts of marks were doing the ridiculously easy winter event collect tags from running the race and the simple doff missions
New romulus you need to go there up to 10 days in a row - tag these things - do a doff mission each time for 1-3 reaseach logs - then when you get 5 of those you can get a little one where you can keep going back to new romulus and doing more 1 day doff missions to upgrade the epohh

Well still better than repeating 10 Mark Missions on New Romulus for x-hundred times .... 10min of Doffing/Tagging per day ... is still better than playing Mine Trap for 50+ times ... just to get to Tier 5
Patch Notes : Resolved an Issue, where people would accidently experience Fun.
I stopped going to New Romulus as soon as I can. The winter eppoh granted me a steady maks income, so I was really happy about that.
If I want to run around a ground map doing fetch and kill quest, I'll play GW2.

This ^. Besides, Cryptic couldn't even give us five story missions without forcing me to wholly repeat one of them. :rolleyes:
There's no reason to really go back and do more Epohh tagging unless they put something mad in the rep store.
