Time to dress up and do some grinding.
Or perhaps they just prefer too use English.
And maybe next year we can get a Holographic Gein boff? Bonnie-kin, bonnie-kin...
You could spend $1 of real world cash monies and get 50,000 refined dil on the dil exchange if you need dil that badly. Skip 6 days of grind, or spend $2 and skip 12 days, $5 for 250,000 refined and skip 31 days.
Yes, but that would signify that you are supporting the game financially, which is largely frowned upon around here and would undoubtedly label you - the culprit - as a "whale."
STO runs on good intentions, not cash; don't you know.
Grind away then. Cryptic allows the pure F2P playstyle to get you anything in the game except (on PC) the lifetime subscription.
STO work computers are just set to English (Traditional) instead of English (Simplified).
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
HARD pass

I vote for CINCO de MAYO. At least it is a non US holiday and precedent in STO
Original STO beta tester.
Nope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween
"Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of "All Hallows' evening"),[5] also known as Allhalloween,[6] All Hallows' Eve,[7] or All Saints' Eve,[8] is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. ... The word Halloween or Hallowe'en dates to about 1745[32] and is of Christian origin."
But no one is forcing you to play any event. I've skipped many myself. Play when you like, play what you like.
I'm not even well-versed in the history of it, and even I know that it's at least derived from a holiday rather older than the United States. (Oh, and "Eastern" Bunny??? I hope the "n" is a typo.)
And this is a heck of a weird thing to complain about anyway.
It is something different from the usual, and better yet something from TOS (with a little TNG mixed in). And the prize is something that sounds quite useful to both a crowd control type character and a mystic type, especially the part-Megan character I made a while ago to use the more eerie of the Fek'Ihri kit modules and environmental damage Risa modules.
It is also a good time to knock the dust and petrified dinosaur dung off the old ghostbuster-gun from Spectres and give it a workout.
I have to disagree on that one. IMO the only good thing about "Catspaw" is the introduction of Pavel Chekov. Really cheesy episode, with some painfully bad VFX even by the standards of the time.
It was fine.

this event looks very interesting, but not sure i would do the 14 days, I'm already having trouble completing the current event; boredom, tired of doing the same thing over and over

While Halloween isn't a big thing here in Finland, All Saints' Day is a thing here (typically celebrated on Saturday that lands between 31st Oct and 6th Nov (this year it being 6th Nov), All Saints' Day being called "Pyhäinpäivä" in Finnish and it's been a thing for as long as I can remember.
EDIT:While I said Halloween isn't a big thing here it's still an unofficial holiday (so you won't get leave from work, but people tend to have themed parties), so it's not really a "just USA" thing since last I looked we aren't part of USA (I'm a Finn in case that wasn't already obvious).
The Spectres Arc was never removed from the game. It is still available to play under your Faction contact in the Incoming Hails tab in your journal.
