  I was thinking it would be nice to have one specific system of marks for all of the special events, not only does this limit the number of spaces taken up in our inventory/bank, it gives us incentive to grind as much as possible to catch up for lost time on past grinds, or to get a head start on the next one.
  
  And if anyone's concerned about losing the value of their 8x10s or crystaline shards, make it so you can convert them to Qmendations at the vendor machine in Quarks.
  
  Then the grind will feel a little more open ended, and the players have a little more leeway to work at their own pace.

  
  So wait, you want Cryptic to have Qmendations to grind all special events? How about NOT grinding.

  How about a game with no grind at all? You log in, a screen pops up that says 'you win everything', then you are automatically logged out as king champion of all everything.

  Yeeeeaaah, like that's gonna happen. How about remembering that MMOs are all about grinding.
  
  Seconded, OP.

  You're just a machine. And machines can be broken.

  it would be the smart thing to do. since once upon a time it was said that the dev team was commited to reducing the number of currencies in the game..... sadly that went out the window long ago. they seem to want to bombard the game with even more. they should just have only 1 event currency! simples

  I like the idea,
  
  i mean its not like i can grind infinite marks, you still get gated by the daily limit, and can gather some spares if god forbid you have bad internet connections come next grindathon.
  
  Plus it removes more unnecessary currency types from this game.. something i vaugley remeber the developers tried to avoid yet kept on making O.o;
  
  Edit- Dangit previous post got in before i could about currency :P

  Agreed, and a variation of this theme came up a lot in the 1700+post thread.
  
  Q doesn't need more than one currency.
  
  Let us convert any Qglossies to Qmarks, preferably make them account rather than character bound.
  
  That way, if someone can't make the 15 out of 25 or whatever it is, they can grind multiple toons the days they can make and still get whatever it is they've ground for.

  Bit of good news there, doesn't say how they plan on reusing them, but it isn't bad either.

  Please don't make me think I need to keep doing the damn party patrol all 25 days to have extra qmendations on the off chance something else comes up thats needing them? I already did the Winter Race 35x for 8 chars, and that broke a piece of my soul.
