Whats up with C-Store

Why they don't put the whole game into C-Store and going FTP ???
I can tell you why every player would loose interest in the game and start buying SP Games again because if SP get an patch they just get the stuff like everyone else with out paying .
And if there is an expansion to the game they buy that with same content like everyone else.
And there are sites with moderators who make the game just a bit more fun or excitement.
But not on STO they put every shoe and sock on store for you to buy if you want a nice game you pay ten times more then a usual SP Game...

Can some one explain this PLEASE.....
I don't understand why is every peace off artwork end up in store ?
I mean they never made it if we did not ask for it, And why is the price so ridiculous high.
And second if you don't have an credit card your doomed of never going to play as an Borg or an tos or what ever.

To be honest I find this C- Store thing going a bit too far you have to pay for the ship then for the close and for all the other parts too.
You can't say I'm done playing I give it too someone else in the game because it is bound.
Well anyway they could put some stuff over for free to use, but when they do you have to grind 500 emblems .

No offence but don't I already pay enough every two moths ?
Every 2 moths 30 euro for me and I can not play every day so maybe in the evening .
So the whole thing is pretty high on price and I ain't getting nothing special for it.
Yes they want us to wright missions for what so they can sit back and watch ???
How we make content at no cost, What we get for mission creation if it is good ???
Only the happy faces or is STO going to reward us for it to if an mission is good ??
They just pushing you to get a lifetime thing ! But I don't want to .
I just want to play sto and pay every two moths no problem but should they say o for those who hasn't a life time subscription will give you every two moths also some Cps

Is it ever going to change ??? Isn't there a lot off promises and no solution.
Just wanted too add this because if you follow the chats a bit and the forum everywhere there are complaints about C-Store. Mostly from people who thought finally to get their stuff and it was their idea !!! and they have too pay for it .Bit strange .....

Isn't there another way to reach payments ??? If I have to pay every moth to just get an easier way I will do it.
Why they don't do something like face book if you got a let's say 1000 points reached of something you get in this game about 10 CP's.
Or like the Delta Flyer make stuff craft able but then again the re spawning had to go faster.
But I really hope they will do something about this.

Thank you for your time off reading this....

    Just a word of caution, re-posting a thread is frowned upon and could even get moderation Be patient, you've posted this thread once less than an hour ago, people may yet respond.

    Also, while I share your views a wall of text is a quick way to turn peole away from a thread. Condense your ideas/questions into specific points to make it clear and short.

    lol like i said in a previous post. We keep seeing the same faces complaining about the same things. Maybe the problem you have with not having enough time to play is you keep creating threads about the C-Store.

    You can pay for STO and play for however long you wish during that time. You don't need anything from the C-Store, the simple fact is you want it. Get ready for the rest of your life, because you are going to see a lot more of this.
    And just exactly how are Cryptic pushing you to buy a LTS? Is advertising wrong now? Or are they somehow treating you differently, spamming emails to buy it as often as you create more threads.
    Get off the forums, and go all play the game with that apparent little time to say you have.

    Your complaints are terrible, seriously. Did you read even half of what you said before you posted this a few times over?

    This is not only me mister but lot off other people to who think the game is going under its level when it goes FTP.
    Further more maybe you don't work or sitting home allday I don't care but the point is if you pay you expect somting from it and right now all we aks as I speak for more people is to give some stuff away once in a while and don't put every sock or shoe into the store .
    But I know the spelling is not what you see on the school boards and that is because I'm not american nor english so sorry if you needed your classes to understand it all.

    Judging by your join date, you're fairly new to STO. The C-Store has been a source of heated debate practically since the game went live. Unfortunately, they're not going to change their current strategy just because some of us have issue with it.

    Yes, I feel that it has gotten out of hand, and I have made my point clear several times...However, it's not the end of the world. Absolutely nothing that HAS to be gotten is a C-Store exclusive. The only real exceptions to the "cosmetic-only" rule are the ships, and they can be grinded...ground...worked for. 500 emblems may be a lot, but it's better than not having a choice.

    And it's not like they're not putting new stuff in the game as part of our monthly sub. Look at the FEs that have come out. Last time I checked, none of those items are up on the C-Store. And the special limited-time rewards have not gone up, yet, either.

    Well I am guessing that English is not Cooter1978’s native language.
    C-Stores are the new standard in MMO’s, they have their own names for it but it is the same thing.
    Your complaining about something that is not going to go away. :cool:

    Did i mention spelling or grammer or anything of the sort? No i didn't, but you seem so eager to clutch at straws, just like the complaints of your post. I couldn't care less about your spelling, i was talking about if you read what you wrote simply because its a bunch of nonsense.

    Now i go to University. Today was a day off, yet i have been in the library since 9am, returning home at 3pm, cooked dinner, continued work, then did my dailys before coming onto the forums to chat to a little spoilt brat that thinks the world should be free. Its called 'Time Management'. If you can't play this game enough in a month, compared to what i have to do each and every day, i'll be very surprised indeed.
    I'm sorry but your posts are really terrible. You generalise about the game going F2P. Its not, and not any time soon either. You also ask (demand?) that you get 'stuff' given away once in a while? Cloaked Intentions and the rewards not enough. I mean you really didn't have to do much for that other than enjoy the quite epic content offered. If you want 'stuff' without using the C-Store, there is plenty in game to earn. Or do you simply want to press the spacebar and be rewarded over and over again? Its an MMO, you pay, you play, and you earn.

    If you are an astronaut I don't care !!!
    Second I never mentioned it should be free at all because people have to be paid.....
    3de what I do like is a bit cheaper and what I mentioned was the fact its nice we make content that's what we wanted is it not, but give something in return .
    Also for people who don't have an live and paying for every two moths give a little something in return .
    And I fight for those who can not have an credit card because they are in depth, simply put some more methods to people so they can buy stuff.
    Here in Europe you have to buy it from an Internet store that cost a lot more then from an regular store.
    It's for those people who want to play the game but can not afford everything like an credit card, should they play a stock game and see his friends fly in nicer ones .
    If that is fair to you than you are more egocentric then I hoped.
    Also don't call me a spoilt brat because you where in diapers when I was already working my TRIBBLE off.
    So if you don't like it don't try to anger me with nonsense about how good you are instead off others.
    Further more I'm done with you so please do not reply anymore. THANK YOU.....

    I know it's not directed at me, but I have some advice for you. If you don't want criticism, don't read the forums.

    Secondly, people have differing views on the C-Store. Some like it...some don't...some don't give a flying fig either way.

    BTW, having two threads about the same exact thing...it's been a while since I read the forum rules, but I'm pretty sure that's grounds for an infraction.

    And all that red hurt my eyes. :(

    Thats why its double. Sorry for that my mistake.
    And about my anger was because someone young just comming to look at the world and say I'm a spoiled brat sorry that's someting I don't say to annyone how stupid the post might be.

    I'm sorry, but you can't prevent a reply when you end it like that. The fact is, just like how wrong your complaints are, your personal attacks are even worse. Not only do i live in Europe too, i'd be surprised to believe that i was in diapers when you were apparently working your TRIBBLE off. The reason you were called a spoilt brat is simply because of the way you go about things. I mean, look at your opening post.

    You believe the Lifetime Sub is being forced on you.
    You believe the Foundry is there so the Cryptic staff can put their feet up.
    You assume that you don't get enough out of your sub, yet what is justifiable in terms of play time? Every second of every single day? What you pay for a month is not that much different to the cost of a cinema ticket, or a couple of McDonalds. Tell me, i'd love to know exactly how much time equals said payment.
    You like to add words to make it look like i'm doing something else, that i am apparently better than you? You got that from 'Time Management' did you or the fact that i said you speak nonsense?
    Whats wrong with a stock ship? I fly in one, yet its all about greed and i want this and that. You don't need it, you just want it and because either you can't have it, afford it, or chose not to buy it, you rant and rave about how things aren't fair. You don't need anything from the C-Store to enjoy this game!!!
    I like how you think you are doing those without a Credit Card a favour. Sure you are. It has nothing to do with want want want...
    And you get plenty from what you pay monthly. Add to the fact it seems you haven't been playing that long, considering how little time you apparently play anyway, i'm sure you haven't seen a great deal. If you are paying for 2 months worth at a time, something tells me you haven't even used that in the first place. (edit, this is your second account? So this is the one you annoy the hell out of people with and fight the good fight against the C-Store with?)

    Like i said before, your posts are nonsense, and if you don't like it, tough.


    Oh, and i'm not an Astronaut.
