Fleet action dailies will give Fleet Marks - how about the PvP dailies?

Today's patch notes include a nice change to the daily fleet action missions, which from today on will not grant Dilithium, but fleet marks (and not few). Wouldn'tz it make sense to give Lt Com Icheb's dailies for PvP (and the Klingon version, of course) the same treatment?
What do you think?

Remember, STO is nothing but a cosmetics game, where only the rule of cool matters. The game mechanics are intentionally out of balance, don't try to "optimize" anything, as it would just frustrate you.

As for PvP, outside of their being a "Fleet vs. Fleet" thing going on - can't see why on Earth they would offer Fleet Marks for PvP.
If they pulled the Dil there as well... well... how are things over in MWO? How's the TOR F2P thing going? Anything good on TV?
Imo, it's b/c Mgt not only doesn't care to make PvP a quality part of the game, but it wants it dead. Pure speculation, but I think it goes back to what the Goons et al did when the game 1st launched in terms of forum wars and pointing out the lolz of things like inviting kdf to fed bridges and having fed boffs kill them, ramming speed and self destructing @ ESD, some of the umm how to put this compromising adult positions toons' emotes could be put in, etc.

i mean.. a dev actually talks to us! thats means something right?
its not like he accidently says backhanded things about things when people try to help him, and its not like the devs are just here for the
"pancakes and lulz"
or anything... right?
right?

If some of us did work in such a way as for our customers to be speaking of us like so, we'd be fired. That's as true as it is for me (a corporate accountant) as it is for people in retail or graphic arts.
OP *is* the new balance, whether you know it or not! Gecko says so.

Each and every time we are told, 'oh but fleet marks are for fleet activities, like one click dailies' etc despite pvp requiring more 'fleet' based activities that fleet events themselves.
I stopped reading there, couldn't be bothered with it anymore.
Yet he faces zero censure and people wonder why the atmosphere is so tense at times. lol

It was second grade. I felt pretty bad. So I did everything I could to avoid it happening again. That was over 30 years ago.
Also, given the already increasing problem of afkers farming PvP, more rewards would only make it worse.
It's terrible but easy, and these Borg are way cooler than the mess STO and Voyager left us.
Yeah, you know damn well what they think seeing as how you posted in the thread where bort responded as to why pvp dailies are not included.
This thread was started for the sole purpose to get this community all worked up about a subject we've discussed over and over again. How is Sophie not being punished for starting inflammatory threads while so many others are?
They break the game over and over again, change TRIBBLE up for the worse, it's a wonder they don't lose their jobs... they would've if they worked for me with this kind of track record.
EDIT: I changed my mind. PWE is probably trettening them with roozing their jobs to make this an Orienter Glind to Pay to Pray Massivrey Multiprayer Onrine game. I appraud them for haow bad it HASN'T gotten. I'm sure it could be worse...
Never let a foreign company own your IP..The government and businesses of China are some of the LEAST respectful of intellectual property... Is it any wonder the direction our beloved game is taking?
We need better incentives to pay for things, not reasons to just leave altogether.
I see what you did there.

Sure, they err'd when they screwed up the code and created this bug. Its going to happen with a game they didn't even create, but took over from another company. I get that. They were told this was happening when it was on the TEST server and they pushed it live anyway. That's not an "err", that's a DECISION. The decision is what people are mad about, not the fact they accidentally screwed up the code. The next DECISION they made was to not jump all over fixing it and make it one of their top priorities, but instead joke around about it. Joke around about a subject that at one time was so serious, the mere mention of the EXPLOIT would earn you a ban from the forums.
But Cryptic doesn't seem to really care, and if they don't then why should I? Why bother putting money into the game if I can't even guarantee that the fundamental conditions of the engine will be the same match to match?
It just absolutely astounds me that they don't see this as something that should be top priority, with all devs on hand to fix the situation. It's so gallingly careless.

It goes beyond the queues. Anything requiring space combat is made easier. Thus, it's something that allows players farm anything they want to farm faster - with or without queues. This means they can farm Dil faster - they can farm items faster to sell on the exchange - etc, etc, etc, etc... which affects the in-game economy.
It goes well beyond PvP folks complaining about it - and - oddly enough, not to cast a wretched shadow upon the PvE folks...but they're very likely not to complain about it for reasons already mentioned.
It's not quite a team of five running borked TBR to 9 NWS... but it's something that the longer it goes unfixed, the longer it will have ramifications on the game down the road.
It's a big deal...and...they're just not taking the scant seconds it takes to think of many of the ways this screws the game...
Everybody* is hurt by this bug.
Is somebody smacking them in their genitalia with a sledgehammer? No, they're not being physically hurt... but this bug is a major bug that has ramifications throughout the game world.
*People that play by themselves, do not attempt to exchange Dil for Zen nor buy/sell anything on the exchange... would be an exception.
A game can be competitive and still be fun, I would know considering I played one for a living for the better part of three years (however do not do as I did since the game will get old eventually).
In fairness to Bort specifically, I do think he meant well even if he didn't think his words through. If the bug were one that all players had by default and it couldn't be removed, I'd be all for it, since running around with Viral Matrix 3 on a freighter does sound like a blast. But since I can't guarantee that any other given player is running the bug, it ain't fair of me to do so and so I won't. I'd hope most feel the same way.

As it stands, it's the same as suggesting that killing Borg should reward Romulan Marks or killing Tholians should reward Omega Marks...
Dil is a "universal" currency - it's involved in so many transactions.
Fleet Marks? Yeah...not so much.
Perhaps they should expand upon the Fleet System and PvP - where such a change would not necessarily be necessary, since there would be some Fleet PvP System in place that did it...
