2,000,000 Q and Limited Time availability? Thanks but No Thanks

I absolutely agree. Surely this is some kind of "extra 0" error since other powers go for 250,000.
Please... Just STOP with limited time offers.
Swords and Shields!
Plant Abilities!

This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day
you don't need to encourage us to do that, considering most of us aren't willing to shell out the equivalent of 120 bucks for one whole travel power which is just a "basic" version of a power you can pick up for a fraction of the price.
this is honestly the most out-of-touch-with-reality thing i've seen in the game, by an extremely wide margin. even the initial removal of subs wasn't this bafflingly poorly-thought-out
Imagine this for a moment... Power Replacers come back. Every one of them. On the drifter store. 500 Salvage each. For a single weekend.

I expect this to happen eventually, Drifter store is gonna be next in Limited Time Offers, maybe not with Power Replacers but something else... something worse

Really disappointed the Crafted TPs returned like this, Especially how huge part of the Crafting System they were (which ON ALERT killed and gave us the boring Fuse system while removing all rewards)
I saw on PTS they were tagged as purchasable from Q store... but not like this
And playing by myself since Aug 2009

I dunno about you guys, but with maybe an exception to Storm Rider, the TPs we already have look superior in all ways. (These are all on rank 3 BTW)

At least I own the R.A.D Sphere as Legacy Travel Power, even if I don't have the Device anymore (deleted with the character who crafted it)
I don't support crap doodoo limited time items that look like feces to be said Q sink.
Make it the Weapons Out devices.
Heck, make it the Personal Magnifiers devices.
And don't make it limited.

Just because you can't make the Z store into a rotating shop doesn't mean people are going to just think this is a great idea. Nobody likes rotating stores in other games, and you're already doing the 'pay for convenience, because we already scuffed a system so you'd suffer if you didn't' bit with mods. These business choices aren't going to get anywhere. Stuff like this is considered incredibly scummy.
For example; no one who started from 0 will be able to get any of these. Heck, you wouldn't be able to get these from farming for the weekend unless you literally no lifed the game on several alts. You can only get 16k a day per character. So lets say someone's dumb enough to try and get them all starting from 0. 16k a day would mean within 3 days 48,000 questionite would be made per character. So to reach 6,000,000 questionite in 3 days, one would need to get 48,000 questionite on one hundred and twenty-five characters.
Even if anyone had the mental fortitude to do the same thing over and over again for that long, correct me if I'm wrong (because I can't remember) but isn't the current character limit below 100? In otherwords, starting from zero (and I'm guessing up to about 5,000,000) its virtually impossible to get them all.
So on one hand, you're excluding people who don't throw money at you because they're just low on questionite at the wrong time, and on the other hand, you're excluding people who don't throw money at you and can't. you may as well just throw these on the zen store for Christ's sake. Or just don't do it at all since literally no one is going to be getting these.
Other games not only make these kinds of items tradeable, they also give a lot, and I mean A LOT more time to earn these things. They also usually don't try to make them pay real money for them.
Good will isn't a hard concept to understand. Right now, there isn't any at all.
So, we're just gonna' go along with this, then?
The public outcry seems pretty clear. It's not as deafening as the usual Cryptic/PWE silence is, though.
Surely this was an "extra zero added" error. Surely.... There's no way this was intentional, right?
What happened to the time when travel powers with simple aesthetic variations were given freely to those with the original travel power?
Swords and Shields!
Plant Abilities!
Please explain the need for these and allow for some clarity among the community.
Limited time offer would've already put a lot of people off, but also this price is beyond ridiculous. 250k Questionite would've already been plenty enough for some people to possibly consider picking these, which are pretty much the same travel powers that already are in there for 250k Q.
It would be nice to also remove the requirement to own Stoic Flight/Scorching Slide in the first place to get the 500 Drifter salvage device of those. Why would anyone waste 500 drifter salvage to get a Bind on Equip device for a travel power they already own?
Take care.
It's a shame, I actually would like RAD Sphere since it's a more subtle visual than the Hamster Roll, but... yeah.
Here's another starting tomorrow...

Please start proof reading your copy pasting before sending them out to the world.
The Tenacious Key Pack news post has a link to the STO forums and the tool tip for Fear Consumption states "You can gain a stack of Daunting once every 4 seconds."
These are just the latest examples of simple mistakes made when you rush through things without giving it a second pass to check for accuracy.
Thanks for all the work you do,
-random guy on the internet
It becomes much more understandable when you see the guy who posts the majority of these recent News updates works on STO itself, not CO. And it's only one guy and happens to make a lot of typos. He's become much of a meme on the CO Discord because of that.
