    This.

    It is NOT unfair.

    Did you even finish reading that post, like why I don't expect an apology? Because it is NOT unfair, meaning no apology is "required".

    I'll say that again: it is not unfair, so no apology is required. Not unfair = no apology required.

    End of story.

    You are certainly entitled to your opinions on the matter. I don't agree with them (but that doesn't make them wrong), and I have already explained why it is unfair to all players in this game. Perhaps with time, your opinions may change.

    Pleasant day to both of you.

    According to what was said, KDF will likely have a KDF only item tomorrow. Or at least during the event.

    Maybe you should complain once the event is over, so you can see if it was fair or not.

    The game is typically unfair when the KDF are involved, complaints from the KDF are ALWAYS ignored.

    People don't complain without legitimate reason.

    Excluding the whole "KDF got nothing" debate, the people who have not benefitted from this offer are people who paid money for their DS9 Uniform.

    The least anyone could do would be to say "Thank you for supporting us". No one is entitled to a refund for something they purchased and was later offered for free. But it's common courtesy to apologize for unintentionally being unfair to a person or persons.
    Do you want them to apologize for giving free items ?
    I mean, really ?

    Maybe you are not concerned by the gifts. Maybe there are people with everything the cstore have to offer.
    I'm not concerned by the DS9 costume (already have it).
    So what ? It's a gift, it's free, and some people are going to enjoy it. That's fine for me. Without the giveaway, you wouldn't have any reason to complain anyway.

    The "thank you for supporting us" is called the veteran reward. It's in the game. Check it out.

    Hmm K.
    Don't see any reason to participate- mon:fed uniform (yawn), Tuesday: the ONLY KDF uni in the store, wed/thur: prolly shuttles, fri: a T3 ship for both factions.

    See ya next year, after the uniform slot bug has been fixed.

    Tuesday is another Fed only item (probably a uniform unlock again)
    Wednesday is likely a shuttle (one for feds and one for Klinks)
    Thursday is likely a T3 ship for both sides
    Friday is likely a T5 ship for both sides
    The above list is one of only a couple of ways for the total giveaway to reach a value of 7500zen (which Branflakes has said is the minimum amount if you claim everything and assuming his math is good)
    I'd say it's worth sticking around, m'lord :D

      Ok for those of us who are Romulan and Klingons this is pretty much snub. We get squat.

      I feel cheated. Sure its free and all but I still feel cheated.

      What did you think was going to happen? Klingons have been the red-headed stepchildren of cryptic since the beginning of the game.

      However, I am surprised that the newest favorite, the Romulans, didn't get anything. That was definitely a shocker

      As has been said before...

      Rom items are still too new and are still generating profit.

      Okay I know this maybe a little late in the game for requests but......here's what I'm hoping will be given away in the coming days

      Tuesday- The Enterprise normal uniform.......I love that uniform its so NASA like and besides I felt kind of robbed Enterprise didn't win the pole and was beaten by Voyager for new content :(

      Wednesday: I'm thinking Defiant Retrofit for Federation, the Ktinga Retrofit for the KDF both are widely popular in the shows and its canon...

      if Thursday is a ship day like Wednesday and Friday I'm really hoping for the Cat Carrier or the Vulcan ship.....I LOVE THAT ONE MORE.

      Even though im a tactical Id love to get my hands on that Vulcan cruiser.

      Slow down folks. You're ranting faster than i can read them. Allow me to catch up at least.
      This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

      Ain't that the truth, KDF don't have much, so there's little to give away.

      Yep, only one gripe is a full week of free stuff and its not shared by all factions.

      Although "To claim it, simply log into the game on an eligible character" <--ripped from article

      Lets them get away with giving stuff only to feds all week if they wanted too :/

      I was hoping that there would be items for both factions but hey it's still free stuff.

      To bad I'm pretty sure that I'll already have everything that they'll be offering :(

      "Lets them get away with giving stuff". Really, you just said that. Is it even necessary to point out how ridiculous that statement is?

      Actually it probably is, since you typed it in the first place thinking it was somehow a good idea, so I'll elaborate.

      They are GIVING STUFF AWAY. Nobody asked them to, no one demanded it, they were under no obligation to do so. Out of nowhere by complete surprise, they decided to take some of the stuff they normally charge money for and let you have it free for nothing. If you can use it, great! If you can't, oh well. It was nice of them to try. That's how GIFTS work. None of us were owed a single gift, let alone FIVE of them.

      Besides, a real Klingon would laugh at the silly weak Fed in their pathetic costumes, and wait for the things a warrior can really use.

      You can drop the BS about 'real Klingon warriors'. Not all KDF players like to roleplay, and those that do get awfully tired of people using that inane argument on the forums.

      All the KDF have really wanted is equal treatment with the Federation, something the faction never got, and probably never will get. Unless tomorrow's giveaway is a KDF-only item, this 'giveaway' merely perpetuates the Federation's preferential treatment.
