Recently i am back to game and i am sure lots of users are same as me since steam launch.
I was excited about nightlife casino event and hoped to make some credits during event because i don't want decorations,mounts etc, but want some credits for gears.
However i found out golden certificate rewards(cartel one is very rare) are all legacy bound and can not be traded, meaning i can not make credits.
So literally those rewards(event) are for oldbies who do care about decorations, mount collections etc and have millions billions credits already.
EVENT in other games usually is meant to be short cut for newbie(selling rewards) , collection for oldbie(deco, etc)
My personal experience is I didn't even have 2million credits and was having hard time getting credits to buy gears(augment 73 74 thing..), other new users would experience the same stuff. If some event rewards were sellable it would be very helpful for newcomers to get some gears. Some old users might don't care since they have billions credits but if i can get 1-2million credits through event it can be game changer. And come on it is little tiny impact.
