REMOVE THE SHARED BANK ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS!
This is the biggest and most STUPID change that has been made to the game. For YEARS we have had no limits on our character builds and now you people have removed our freedom to make a build the way WE want it right from the start!!
Why make it so that we can reclaim stuff to use any time, or unlock T6 ships after tutorial and then turn around and BLOCK access to share bank accounts until you have FORCED the completion on certain content?!
Jem's have TRIBBLE gear, no one really likes it and we all want the freedom to have the gear we like. But you want to force us into finishing ALL of the Gamma content, which can be difficult at times being overwhelmed by Hurq, and all on crappy gear?!

You don't have to finish ALL the gamma content, the account bank unlocks after you finish "Storm Clouds Gather". And it's not a stupid change either, there was a major economy exploit that involved people who stayed in the past or didn't choose a faction so as annoying as it is, and I agree that it is VERY annoying, it was unfortunately necessary for them to remove access to the account bank and queue system.
Cryptic has added restrictions like this and the wait before claiming recruit boxes because they prevent farming exploits or problems with the character. At least in the past there has always been a reason.

The 20 hour requirement is because Jem'hadar toons start at level 60. If this restriction wasn't in place folks could login on the toon after choosing a faction, claim the rewards, kill the toon and start over several times over and have nigh infinite resources. The 20 hour requirement is meant to be a deterrent to that sort of thing. Before you ask, yes there were people who tried to do that.

I don't think they're arguing against A time restriction. The issue is the 20 hour requirement is far FAR FAR too much. You would have to dedicate an insane amount of time to achieve that play time, on what for most people would just be an alternate toon. Sure you can do something like "game it" by running in place for hours and hours until they hit that mark but 20 hours is simply ridiculous.
I would say 10 hours is more reasonable but still pretty ridiculous. I understand the reasons for it, of course people would've exploited the reobtainable resources. But they've gone too far with the restriction.
I have serious doubts on anyone making such a claim - even if there's a a double XP event on and you have XP bonus items, I really don't think you can do it in 4 hours.
Getting a captain to level 20 to claim the account unlocks at a Temporal Agent can likely be done in 4 hours with a XP event.
I would not be surprised at all if it's possible to level to 60 that quickly, during the most recent XP weekend I leveled three characters to 65 in one day by using XP bonus items and running nonstop patrols.

I'm old school. I paid a subscription before this game went free to play.
You are actially making demands. And expressing disapointment that things are not to your exact liking... and... you say, you are being 'forced' into 'finishing' content that has been provided to you, absolutely free.
I have zero sympathy.
So you want that 'special fuzzy feeling' of being a unique Jem Hadar Solider. You just don't actually want to put any effort into actually PLAYING your 'unique Jem Hadar Soldier.
You basicly want everything to be bent towards your own wants, and needs. Sounds about right, comparing this to the rest of your posts.
I'm going to ignore people that are negative here and just say this, If you have spent on a lifetime subscription then you do not get restricted, otherwise why spend money on a game to have all that you have. I built up my Gem's by completing everything first in the ship which I was given free, and yes that was fun, but if people want to unlock things and have them across their account then the work must be put in for that.
We all have choices but if you pay for something and you are not getting that service for which you have paid for then why spend your money on the game at all?

What? A vanilla Jem’hadar does like 20k DPS easy. All you really need to do is change the power levels (full power weapons). I would also run “Storm Clouds Gather” a few times and switch the beam arrays for some DHCs—but that is just me. Maybe drop some Phoenix upgrades on the shields and fore-cannons (you gotta do something with that dilithium since we can’t trade it for zen!)—but he comes out of the box plenty powerful enough to get through all the story content, easily.
Also...in terms of workarounds, does anyone know if the mail account blocked too?
