I remember playing WoW, they had this luna festival thing for the first time and I wasn't paying attention until the very last minute. Ended up not getting all the outfits with leftover tokens. I was unhappy camper for a while then stashed the tokens in the bank and completely forgot about it. Year later, event returned and had a jump start with tokens from year before.

TLDR: Save the tokens. There's no way this event won't return.
You seriously think they would throw away the time & effort put into making this event after one use?

By willingly not perventing invection and instead spreading it on your fleet and other worlds, the game should make a difference how the world will continue on this. That's why I think there should be a drawback for the faction which did that the most, otherwise why should the people care about not becoming a plague carrier. And then there is another part, stories are also about lessons, and to fail in teaching people that it is not a good idea to let deadly diseases spread, would mean that BioWare has not even grasped to basics of storytellung.
The vaccine was for people who were doing ops/flashpoints and didn't want to blow up, say, during a boss fight.

Exploding was part of the event, meant to be an easy way to get the DNA required for getting the event items. You could get infected from ANY infected mob, especially Rakghouls. Why would BW then penalize people for using a mechanic they built into the event?

Your logic is severely flawed.

Haven't read the forums in the last days? Many people were really annoyed of getting infected, and even called it grieving. This could happen for all kind of reasons, like don't want that for your character (character oriented rolepayers) or not seeing it fit the story they would like to experience (story oriented roleplayers). So it is for some part of the story of this game, and not just a game mechanic (and I cannot blame them for thinking that way, especially since BioWare said that this game is story focused). So I hope they better get their story right and give us some consequenzes for our decision we made.

Are these the same people who refused to purchase a vaccine because they felt they shouldn't need to? You want consequences...well there's your consequence for not getting vaccinated.

It goes in the right direction, but it has currently no larger consequence. Should BioWare punish the faction who had more deaths caused by the plague, then more people might think that they should have better used the vaccine. Since it had no drawback not to vaccinate, no it had only benefits in game, so they story BioWare can tell with it should also show that it is not just a good idea to spread diseases.

No, skip. These were the people that, rather then buy a vaccine, wanted to option to kill your arse and toss you out into space for trying to infect us, with the option to loot your sorry corpse for the 2k I had to pay for the immunity. ;p

Put that in game so that I can grief you right back and I promise that you will have no further worry about us "complainers". LOL

In my guild we were giving away odd DNA that were left over so people who were running a bit short could get their stuff.

No silly. There should only be consequences for those who took part in an event. Not those who wanted nothing to do with it.

75k each on your server ?

You either play on a dead server with 5 people making the DNA xtreme rare or you forgot to put a dot and say 7.5k.
