    • The question was rhetorical. Yes I know they give those out every so often to people. The point was if they're going to whine about "one click and done" why are they giving out something that is quite literally a one click and done for a character. It's pure hypocrisy be it a subscriber reward or not.  Now unlike the those 100k tokens they give you from time to time, the 43k rep tokens didn't just magically appear in your inventory for doing nothing. You still had to play the content to earn rep tokens to pop for that 43k. As I've said plenty of times now, if I farm out 10 tokens from 10 flashpoints, heroics, or whatever, it makes no difference whether I use them all up in 10 seconds, or over the course of 10 years, the result is the same and I still did the work to earn those tokens that was demanded of me by the game itself. You know who determines the drop rate of the rep tokens, the dev team. Them nerfing the rep token is like buying a car for $30k then the dealership coming to you after you paid it off and saying "yeah so we actually undervalued the car when we sold it to you and we need you to pay us another $5k to make that up." The only sane answer should be "sorry you made a mistake at the dealership but that's not my problem" as you hang up the phone.  In this instance the devs had the standard for years that it was 43k for the rep token and only demanded x amount of work for it. Yet now suddenly after the fact they're like the dealership coming back and saying "yeah so you knew that car was worth $35k so we're repossessing the car until you agree to sign this new agreement of $35k instead of $30k." They don't get to create a problem, have me agree to their asking price, then come back afterwards and whine about how I supposedly took advantage of them and demand more. In this instance, they clearly think rep tokens are valuable yet they choose to sell them at prices below value. Then after people bought them out at below value prices, they turn around and whine and belittle the players afterwards for "little effort" when they're the ones that set the bar that low to start with. Like dude if you know they're that valuable but sell them below their market value, that's your own fault. To finish the analogy, if they thought rep tokens were being under-valued they should've sold them at higher asking prices making them harder to get. Instead they chose to sell me 43k credit starship engine, then decided they gave me too much and repossessed that engine and replaced it with an 8k credit engine. thus stealing 35k worth of engine from me. That is the issue. 
    • It was changed for 7.0 (mid-Feb 2022) when they got rid of the DvL system.
    • The idea itself is interesting, although I doubt they'd make the first one free.
    • Preference for level 20+, with flagship and guildbank.
