Idea: Dilithium Mining Claims Turn-in for a small sum of dill

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
i got this idea because i got SOOOOO Many of these claims.. that i can't use them all.. and never will be able to.. at the rate i open the boxes.. i get like 2 times the characters i got in dill claims a day.. if not more... i bet other gigantic LB openers have the same problem.. and i mean Gigantic..

    It is a serious issue indeed. I opened only a few lock boxes yesterday and I already got 34 of these claims. Since most of my characters can earn dilithium by playing missions, I'll only have to use these claims on 2 characters.

    I've seen more threads of people who have way too many of these claims and no way of using them all. Given that these items have been already paid for, making them usable by, for example, removing the cooldown on them, would be fair.

    Or allow characters of any level to use them. During the last dilithium event, I wanted to mine on a fresh character and I couldn't, because I wasn't past level 10 yet. This makes no sense, all my level 50 characters have no need to use these items. You own the item, you should be able to use it, especially on lower level characters.

    Problem from their perspective without a colldown is during Dilitium Weekend Events. Everyone would save them up for then and run all of them with the 100% Bonus - 10,000 Dilitium at a clip for each one. Given what they did with excluding Reputation Turn-ins, Reward Boxes from Events like Mirror Incursion or Crystalline Catastrophe, and the Tier 5 Reputation Rewards from the Bonus Event, you will have a cold day on Vulcan before they do this.

    Problem for me is the large quantities of them I have on two characters (~120 and ~160) is those are Character-bound. I have gotten much fewer as drops since they became Account-bound. For crying out loud they should have converted them all to Account-bound when they made the change.

    I'm lousy at this particular minigame even though I'm decent at the similar ones. I'd happily trade mine for a fixed amount of dil just to skip grinding a game I don't enjoy and am bad at.

    Or make them unbound and let me put them on the exchange.

    Agree, just counted how many claim i have, more than 7000pc. i have around 20 toon, but would be 1 year to use them all. well, they will never used, i get 10 times more than i using. Mining claim = nothing for that master key.

    I know lot of player loves them, but if you let us high rollers to "sell" them for like 1000 dilithium each, i would do it, while the most of the players still would use them to earn 5000 dilithium each.

    Or make it sellable on exchange.

    I have 700 rich claims that are from the days when they were BOUND TO CHARACTER. 700. On my primary toon who gets his dil by being played. I'd happily turn in all the claims for a small amount of dil.

    I have thousands of these useless pieces of toilet paper. I don't enjoy the mining minigame in the first place and I make all the dil I need through contra turnins.

    If they were sellable on the exchange it would be good. Most of these claims are going unused so at least being able to sell rhem gets you some EC as a reward and someone else will use the claim.
    I really can't see it breaking the games they've already got the cash from whoever paid for the original lockbox key.

    Imho they should reduce the droprates on the rich claims, reduce the dilithium rewarded, but have it reward refined, instead of unrefined dilithium, or even better a choice of lets say 8000 unrefined, 2000 refined or 12000 fleet dilithium upon completion.

    The Year of Hell Lockbox introduced Extra Special VIP Mining Claims with 14 Claims per. It is now a staple in all subsequent Lockboxes.
