A Call for Account-Wide Unlocks for Main Rewards from Events

With the Mirror Invasion Event approaching and all the burnout people have experienced from the Summer and AoY Events, the way these other events are set needs to be re-thought, especially when the main rewards--Admiralty Cards or specialty items--are Character Unlocks. Not everyone has the time or the stamina to get these main rewards for each of their alts. Some players are suffering from event burnout that they are walking away from the game, whether for a break or permanently. To help ease the burnout, it is time to make ALL events like Summer and Winter in that 1 character does all the work to obtain an account-wide unlock. Perhaps this may reduce the amount of Dilithium acquired from the event on multiple characters, but the exchange for the account-wide unlock would be well worth it for most people with little time and stamina for lengthy, time-gated runs. Please make these event rewards account-wide unlocks.

And anyone who opposes account unlocks of past event rewards is simply just a jerk.

Were not talking about Marks and Dilithium, were talking about the special prizes. :P

100% Agree with Main item reward being an account unlock.
No. I want to earn all the rewards on ALL my toons thanks!

This.
To be fair, the title of the thread says "Main Rewards".
Does making the main prize account wide, make the players happy? Yes!
Does this do anything to help Crytic's metrtics? No!
The latter is what they're are going to focus on. What makes them look good to investors, PWE and CBS. If all the players, just play the event for the "accout wide" reward. Then their metrics on it are going to be small. As everyone is going to run it, get the reward, and forget it even exists. Just like the que system we have now.
End of the day. Cryptic's metrics are more important than what you want here.

I'd agree that I'd like the main prize as account unlock, but keep the rest as per character. Because like you I don't savor the thought of having to drag multiple toons through this event. Even on normal the AFKer's will no doubt be out in force once more. But do I think Cryptic will do anything? Well in short that would be a big fat NOPE! so guess we'll have to suck it up once more, or simply don't entertain the idea to begin with.
This again. If exclusive ships are made account wide, why does the main reward of an event like this remain as character unlock only?
(Engages in voter fraud... x10)
"The higher the fewer."
So while I would like to +1 the OP suggestion I ultimately have to say that perhaps Cryptic is doing the right thing by having them single toon unlocks.
Still waiting to be able to use forum titles
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

That's a really good idea. I wonder if the coding to do this would be easily doable.
It would be easily doable, it could be treated like the event ships where it's claimable from the event store on any character if at least one character on your account has unlocked it.
If we are lucky, a Dev might just run with this idea and posted it on the White Board.
That's not the issue. People don't want Zefram's shotgun or the Agony Rifle on just their mains and frequently played alts. It's not that big of a deal, but I bet it would encourage players to play future events more knowing that they can get it for all their characters. It definitely convinced me to not skip any more summer/winter/anniversary ships.
