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.
I can't even understand this line of thought.

You 1: take the vaccine and don't participate in the event. or 2: Allow yourself to be infected and blow up to get DNA. Not hard to understand. There was even a mission/quest for blowing up and infecting people. BW encouraged it.

The real epic fail is that you did not buy a few DNA samples, blew up 2 extra times or used your DNA another way.

Revan: The Wookiees?

I participated in the event but I can see the point of view of players who did not want to participate. The vaccine only lasts 6 hours of gametime. Forcing someone to pay 2k every 6 hours for not wanting to participate in the event is a bit ridiculous.

They won't punish anyone...they included a quest to infect 10 people.

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
That would have made for a more interesting event for sure. Would have been total chaos on the corresponding fleet stations though...along with so much complaining that the forums would crash.

It is not ridiculous at all. If you were really bent about having to spend 2k a few times, you could have asked nicely for someone to provide a stim. You would have very likely gotten one. Not to mention that if you would have unpuckered yourself for a little while and enjoyed the content, you would have been awarded free stims.

seventy-five thousand. and they were selling fast.

and how was i supposed to know blowing up provided dna samples? i never blew up. what i read from bioware here didnt mention it, and no one said anything in game
a word of advise. collect all the stamps you can, if you control the post no one can send you threatening letters.

True this, I'll bet I'm not alone in that I was vendor trashing stacks of serum after getting them as rewards and only ever using them when bugged.
