A little something for everyone, regardless if you don't have a Gamma Recruit, or you already do.

I'll have a crisp £32 (totally legit) note waiting. I want that ship, not excuses.
Lining them up and flicking between the two, there is a difference between only the dates and the following line:
"Don't forget, the Dominion Transponder for Jem'hadar has been updated with some new goals, and a few altered as well:"
was
"As part of the return of this recruitment event, we've updated the Dominion Transponder for Jem'hadar with some new goals, and altered a few as well:"
... an odd change that doesn't make much sense in light that nothing else is new or changed compared to last year.
It's new to me anyway, and a nice bonus. I need to check whether my recruit ever got their reps to T6.
Still it's nice for those who don't have Gamma Recruits! Still while the Account-wide reward's won't benefit ALT characters, you can still earn some level up's for the Recruit himself.
Are any of the account unlocks really worth messing with?
And do you have to make a JH? No other races available?
Some of the account unlocks are good, though unfortunately only J'H can be Gamma Recruits.
Since I cannot stand to run a J'H on the ground and the devs don't want to make any other races (especially Vorta) available for Gamma Recruits I will be spending the majority of this recruitment in ESO.
These events are amongst the most valuable to do in the game. The rewards really stack up and when you have all the 'recruits' done, are extremely helpful to all your other toons.
The game could use having the quest givers be less dull and generic (which they do seem to be working on a bit with the celebrity stuff) and have more faction-specific dialog and options in the scenarios themselves though. Some games like Secret World Legends do that quite well, for that game most people eventually make a character from each faction to hear the crazy stuff the handlers and other NPCs say (the handler for the Dragon faction is rather excitable and especially funny, and unexpected bits of snark and odd references come up depending on which faction you are in).
Even in SWL the missions are almost all the same (and a lot more linear since they don't have the episodes and skips that STO has) though the objectives are sometimes shaded differently depending on the faction style (Dragon=managed Chaos, Templars=often rather snooty Order, and Illuminati=Greed and the complex dance of influence and common interest). It would be great if STO would do that, though it would probably take a long time considering how much content they would have to revamp to do it.
The transponder's mission lists are also a bit of extra incentive to plow through some of the content that the players normally would skip, especially with the constant stream of events that have become the norm. And the little bit of extra dil is nice too.
All in all, the recruitments are a good idea (though as I have said before, I skip the Gamma one because the faction has nothing of interest to me as long as it is just Jem'Hadar).
Yep, they're something to get you do re-do existing content like endeavors. It's an excuse to redo the content with a fresh new character, a new build, and a new Space Barbie theme.
And it's optional, so like endeavors if that doesn't interest someone they can just ignore it.

That I realize, still I just thought maybe it be nice to have 1 more Klingon ally.
Yea I had Weyoun before also from the pack, same with Loriss yet ended up tossing them; though I kept Dukan'Rex on my Fed.
Still this Weyoun is different:
Superior Creative (Increased Kit Performance)
Superior Pacifist (Reduced Threat, Increased Healing)
Telekinetic (Increased Effectiveness of Knock, Hold, and Root)
Authority of the Founders (unique)
Space:
+7.5% All Weapon Damage
+1% Critical Chance
+2.5% Critical Severity
Ground:
Occasionally distributes Ketracel-white to Jem’Hadar away team members, automatically refreshing their boosts (max once per 10 min)
Still I think he's only a single character unlock, you can't reclaim this Weyoun even on another Jem Recruit, or another Captain.
I enjoyed the heck out of them bringing back the Temporal Recruit event, because I seriously wanted to re-roll my original TOS Captain.
And, as stated, it's good for newer players that may have missed out the first time around.
No, it's not the greatest for people that have been there and done that and are satisfied with the results, but we got a new episode not too long ago and have another one coming (hopefully) not too far down the line.
It takes time to make new stuff. Just how it is. Reactivating old content like this is probably fairly simple, so it's not like this is keeping us from getting an entire arc of new stories.
New stuff will come. Old stuff will reappear. It's just how it is.
no one is forcing you to do it. It's also good for newer players, as well as folks who missed them before.
I'd be one of those players. Some good stuff in that recruitment. The Klingon was underwhelming barring the endeavour boosts.
The temporal one is the one I'm looking forward to most though.
I don't do random TFOs very often, so that is going to be last thing my KDF recruits get done. I didn't notice that the Gamma transponder has those as a requirement now, but then again I haven't used the only one I made since the first Gamma recruit event, and absolutely never use it in ground content anyway.

There you said it again. In America we use that expression to mean “a singular banknote.” Since I don’t think there is a 32-pound bill. I don’t understand what you mean. Do you mean “crisp notes and coins equaling 32£“ or is “a note” not a singular banknote in British slang.
Or maybe since you say “totally legit“ it is a joke since it is an odd denomination. Sorry. I know jokes are less fun when you have to explain them.
