Well because you don't think. In the last giveaway we had content that romulans could use (the acid horta and ships below T5.) Here we have items that are restricted to fully fledged members of the FED and KDF. That's nice, for those toons, but what would have been nicer is at least one inclusive item like a special boff or the tribble that could have reached more characters.
This (at least from my point of view) isn't whining entitlement as you would oh-so like it to be, this is just a small complaint that the choice of give away items doesn't take into account a sizable section of the player base.
Because I don't think? Way to open up with ad hominem attacks. Your point of view needs a little reality check, getting good free one time doesn't mean you get good free all the time. Personally it sounds like you were a spoiled child who demanded to have a Playstation 3 under the Christmas tree this year, because you got a Playstation 2 was under it the previous year.
If it makes those people who are strictly playing as Romulan characters feel better, the give away is more or less an advertisement for the new/old ship. Because it's supposed to be I guess the Picard ship the give aways are geared more to Next Generation stuff like the Season 1 uniforms and the Galaxy class bridge pack. Not sure why they picked the ship they did but oh well. As far as the KDF getting freebies, who knows. Still, it's really just stuff no one wants, those who do want it already have it probably so really the whole things a waist of time.
At least the Klinks can no longer complain that they're the low man on the totem-pole anymore.
In this case at least, that spot is currently occupied by us, the loyal servants of the Republic.
Poor Rommies...you'll just have to settle for the OP BOff traits and OP ships.

Well considering that your post is nothing but a thoroughly self-indulgent attack on a thread because it doesn't show enough fawning appreciation for the fact that at least nothing is being taken away, one jab didn't seem inappropriate. :P
I'll also continue on with it considering the tone of what you posted back. It seems that in addition to not being able to think you can't read either. What I said was that the choice of give-away item didn't seem as well considered as the last two and for a very simple reason: the third faction doesn't get anything from it. Far from spoiled whining, this is a simple statement of fact and I say fact because its objectively verifiable information that highlights a gap in this PR campaign (though to be honest "fact" only extends to the gap's presence, not the reason behind it.)
Some characters (I won't say people because I doubt that there's a considerable portion of the player base that only has one romulan and no other toon) are left out which is a definite problem even if its only a little one (which could have been avoided if cryptic made different choices which I also provided reasonable alternatives for.) How I would like this to be resolved is simply that cryptic tries to be more inclusive next summer.
This is what we call feedback. You may call it something else, but its totally up to you to be wrong.
TL/DR: Cryptic could have chosen better.

Federation Uniforms, that no one wants, Bridge Packs that far too many already have, and two ships... One Fed and one Klingon.
I've been waiting to purchase both Fed Uniforms, I've been eyeing the bridge packs, and I've been hoping for the Support Cruiser retrofit since I accidentally dismissed mine after the anniversary event... This is like early Christmas for me!

Same. If I wasn't holding onto Dilithium for DR I probably would have purchased the AGT uniform this month.

If they don't get anything its ok. I'm not complaining about free items they giving us. Last few rounds they did this, I got very nice items to use. And this round is no different.
At least they are doing something, or they could say nope. Pay for it, we don't do give aways. They really helped me on the carrier last time. I never had a carrier in the game before that. So that was a sweet gift and a test bed. Since then I love using carriers now.

Complains about free stuff. Yeah sounds legit. Though not getting a freebie tier 5 ship for the romulans, yeah that is a tad circumspect. But hey it's FREE.
Complaining about the lack of not free stuff for the romulans didnt get results either. But since nobody cares about that anymore, and you cant see posts about it, doesnt mean we stop caring about it. So, why not complain about free stuff as well? notice that the op is not complaining about not getting free stuff, he is complaining about the trait romulans have. And he is totally right, btw.
