Daily mark box nerf.

From the patch notes for the 25th.
Daily Mark boxes no longer have the bonus applied to them during Bonus Marks Weekend events.
Ok granted, it's only for the bonus Mark events, but still, why? Of all the things to nerf, this one makes the least sense to me.
The only thing I can think of, would be the Dilithium gains with them at the end of a rep project or by turning in marks. But even then, I can't picture it being so huge it needed this change.
Maybe one of you Gurus can better explain why this was done, it's very possible I'm missing it all together.

That's rather annoying being as I've saved a load of mark boxes for the event. I doubt I'm alone, so that's why they've done it.
So you can still get something from it.
Otherwise, it's just nerfing the mark event. Daily mark box will not be affected, and it's bad. Even the ones looted during the event.
See, that's what I'm getting sick of.
Today, they make this change so people can't save up Delta boxes until Bonus Weekend and then open them all then. They will use that as the reason to push this change though even though it provides an unnecessary nerf to the boxes earned during the bonus event.
Then next patch, they will make the delta boxes auto open on acquire like every other box rending this change completely moot but leaving us with the overall nerf to boxes earned during the event.
It's just what they do now, they try to hide these nerfs and it's getting really old. Rather it's putting up a long winded and deceptive post lying about a nerf or something like this.. it's all the same thing.. they're trying to sneak nerfs by the player base.

Yes it is a cheap and i found it unappropriate taking in account the event that starts thursday.
Anyway I take it as an answer to critter and doffing nerf and the answer is :"yes we want you to grind ,grind ,grind and anything that can easy your way will be nerfed as soon as we can discover it"
I am very sorry for what is happening with this game .

I admit, it's nice to hear that part at least.
I didn't buy the old intrepid, nor the pathfinder (using a wells and a vesta on my sci). But I found the practice bad. Especially since we are likely to see old T5 coming back as T6 for full price.
But anyway, that's another topic.
I wonder how will look the queues this weekend .
Last weekend I had a lot of fun just reading the forums and not playing STO at all.

And the marks are pointless for equipment without the Advanced+ Queue only materials for Borg and Delta reps.
Bear with me here. You normally give us 55 bonus marks. Now this is removed. Now that 55 is given as *extra* on the bonus weekend. You moving what is naturally given to the extra section. Thus cutting what was given in half.
Stop calling it a bonus weekend . Call it a Smoke and mirrors weekend where we are punished .
Instead of a daily add on , you spend 3 days giving us less than what is normal.
Really really bad form. Take one step forward in customer service and 7 steps back.

Makes it even more annoying after Cryptic nerfed Reputation T5 Dil Rewards from not getting boosted by Dil Weekend Events. They used to, but Cryptic decided no more.
Its getting really tiring.
...#LLAP...
No reason to stick around any longer than necesary, and that necessary part is getting shorter and shorter.
I'm feeling a distinct lack of fun, progress and rewards.
PUNISHMENT! Just more and more punishment.
Do they honestly think if they make it hopeless enough that we'll embrace the grind? I honestly wonder whats going through their heads, cause it just doesn't make sense to me. Even if I were being as greedy as I can conceive of, I'd want my customer base around and happily throwing money at me by powering up one alt after another. I really don't understand the profit motive of driving people away. I mean hell I already spend more time dinking on the forums (while doing other stuff) than actually playing at this point (haven't run a mission since the new Elachi one came out a few weeks ago), so honestly what to they hope to gain by slowing things up even more? I just can't imagine this is beneficial even in the short term.
Maybe they watched The Producers recently or something?
I don't remember that. Got a link?

They didn't use to do this kind of doublespeak in the beginning. It's gotten to the point that whenever I see some update from anyone at Cryptic (beyond the bug report forums), I read between the lines to find the nerf.
I'm not understanding what's going on with STO. I feel like they despise their own players/customers.
The game needed to be slowed down somewhat. Leveling was too fast.
That said IMO DR is a huge overcorrection, but that's beside the point I wanted to make.
