I think it would be nice if they gave us some kind of useful accolade that gave a nice passive (beyond just a title), for completing various PVE missions a set number of times.
Its not a magic wand, its not game breaking insane rewards, but it might just get people (if the passive was nice enough), to run missions such as my old favourite "Mine trap" more often and might liven queues up a bit.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Like many other players I have basically stopped playing STFs after DR launched. I only started to replay them sporatically during the anniversary event. With the increase of the dil reward I have started to play the STFs more frequently, but still nowhere near as often as prior to DR.
Not sure if the trend will continue but at least the dil reward is good enough for me to play the normal STFs for the moment. The only advance STF I play is ground Undine.
I find it hilarious that 200+ in CCA is considered good. Last CC event there were close to 800+ in queue continuously...
Need I point out the discrepancy...
Quoted for truth.
I took part in all CC events the past 2 years and for such an event the general participation is low as ever.
If one abstract the main reward, the daily nuke mark bonus as well as the direct dil you get for each match I think one looks at some 5000Dil/per run and that on normal mode which takes about 5 minutes and is easy for everybody.
I dont see any other means to get the most important currency in this game fester/easier than that at the moment.
DPS channels are full with form ups for CC which shows that those enthusiastic about STO run it for its obvious benefits.
I just suspect that this event has failed to attract averages/season players and since overall participation is at 1/4 I think the game is not in the successful state it has been a year ago.
In my opinion cryptic should take care about non event stuff as top priority to give players a regular and continuous reason to log.
Revaluating current rewards for PvE endgame queues might be a good way to start.

As sad as it is for me to say...
Its true for me haha i just wanna zone out in the stk universe and hang out w good good people of my fleet and the dps and stf channels XD
I remember last time when the queue went to 1200 people. Those days are gone thanks to DR.
I remember this as well
I also remember seeing 15,000 waiting to log in for LOR with LOTs of people already logged in and Qs running great and new romulas with a huge population of over 80 full instances
With 15000 waiting !
And then we started picking up Rocks
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
