And nonsensical without context.

I think you're taking it way too emotional. It's not all doom and gloom, simply from now on we'll be earning our ships for that year only. On the brighter side, it's account-wide unlocks, meaning for the alt-o-holics this is also a fix-in-disguise.
Think about it, you're given a free item in a game, and you complain because you can't get another free item in a said game, it's still free, you don't have to pay for or play for months to acquire it. I don't see the issue.
What "Boneheaded Idea"? I mean a little context to your "Dooom!..." statement would be nice.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Compared to those soul-crushing grindfests, running a two minute foot race once a day on a single toon to get a badass new ship for my whole account seems too negligible an effort to even mention.
Even if I fail royally at the race again like I have in prior years, the Winter Event still has enough fun in the Winter Wonderland itself that I know I'll spend plenty of time goofing around there, picking up kit modules, outfits, playing with snow weapons, etc.

Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
I may be the one person in the game who actually is OK with that game.
Though I'd like to remind @tacofangs and the art team that there has been a colorblindness complaint regarding the color of the boxes...while I am not colorblind myself, it might be worth either a) changing the colors or b) changing the ribbons and bows on the packages to give them a distinguishing feature, and identifying them that way.

Why would anyone want to spend cold winter in a freezing hellhole,
if anyone got money , most likely that persone would to go to some place warm' with plenty sunshine and beaches.
Have you ever met anyone who earned a lot of money and then move to North Pole for retirement?
As of this last Anniversary, the Q presents thing isn't even what you do for the ship in that event. You play Tricorder Hero scanning particles in 3 different places for it now. Presents were actually quicker, especially if you knew a few tricks to them, but the rewards for scanning Omega particles, aside from the ship, were way better, so it's a trade off.
I am confused as to the point of this thread.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Huh? You grind 25 ice races, you get a FREE T6 SHIP for every character you have, AND any new characters that you create years from now. Plus admiralty cards for all of them.
How is that grind useless?
Perhaps you're trying to post something like "what's the point of grinding EXTRA TIMES if I can't store enough pre-griding stuffs to get next years' ship early??"
If so, then OK. There is no point to EXTRA grinding to stockpile ahead. DOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!
I think this game has lost it's magic. Probably waaay late in realizing this, but the enthusiasm is gone.
I hear this a lot from people who either don't realize or don't believe time is a currency.
It isn't really FREE when you're spending the grind time it takes to do something 25 times. Grind time is a currency, and you're spending some it on the ship. A lot of people either value their grind time very low, or simply don't believe it is worth anything. It seems like a form of depression or low self-image, really, to believe your time isn't worth anything to anyone.
We're all worthwhile and valuable.
Back in the days, playing a game was supposed to be the "reward" for our invested time. Because, you know, playing. Today loading up a game is considered a "currency" and qualifies for "compensation"?

I'm completely hyped for the event.
