I quit.

I'm boycotting STO until dilithium rewards for STF come back. It's a ridiculous change to make, I've played well over 300 STF's and thoroughly enjoyed the old system, and S7 has done nothing but destroy the game I love. The fact that I used to get from one elite STF the amount of dilithium I now get from five of them is ridiculous. Not to mention the optional now gives no loot only more stupid marks.
I hope a Dev will tell me this is only a glitch and will be sorted out, but until then you've lost a very loyal player who pays a fair amount of your salary.

    Dude... that's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. We don't even know if that change was intentional or not yet (and assuming won't help).

    Edit: And wow vinru821, it's only been one day and you're already calling the season a deathblow... things typically need time to actually be something like that, but I guess you didn't think when you posted that :rolleyes:

    I doubt that, as this simply isn't the problem you're blowing out of proportion ;) And I don't have a line to cross, just wait and see.

    Can't help but think it's intentional since they refuse to respond to this. They see the threads as threads are being merged.
    -Rule of Acquisition #113: Always have sex with the boss.
    -I am one of the many victims from the hijacked Caspian Division.
    I will not let the childish acts of a criminal ruin this game for me.
    -The actions of Cryptic, on the other hand......

    And that's the issue: assuming things, with or without bias, is not helping things.

    Actually waiting to see what's really the case is overall better, and I understand that. But it seems not many actually do...

    Nice :P

    Shame that same lock will only dig people's opinions in deeper, before they're shocked out of them, hopefully. Things would be much nicer if that happened.

    I just played season 7. I'm not a complainer. I play a lot of games and they all get changed. But the changes are never this dramatically bad. The elimination of dilithium sources is an unacceptable nerf. I typically look forward to earning enough dilithium to buy new ships and other things from the zen store. But with the recent changes, instead of taking a few weeks to earn a new ship, or a few days to earn a new DOFF pack, it will take a few months. I don't have the patience for that kind of grind.

    I tried one of the new five player STF's and was bored out of my mind. Sure, the Borg STF's are stale, but they are still challenging enough to make them exciting to play.

    Cryptic/Perfect World chose a really bad time to make a bonehead move. Star Wars: The Old Republic goes free to play in two days. I was thinking of trying it out, but now I'm looking at SWTOR not as a diversion, but as a substitute.

    There is the possibility that the exchange rate of dilithium will change such that half as much dilitium with buy the same amount of Zen. But until that happens, or Cryptic institutes more sources for dilithium, I won't be playing. That means going from playing about three hours a night to zero. Starting now.

    By what standard?

    And imo, you're simply too deep in rage to be thinking clearly... something which is depressingly common on this forum, with most major changes people don't like.

    Brandon and Crew must be busy as "I quit" threads don't make it past page 1 before being closed.

    Your age.

    Not hard to find out who you are from your little book link.

    Goodnight, past your bedtime, you have school in the morning.

    Dude, that year is the copyright date, it doesn't tell you my actual age :rolleyes:

    That right there tells me you have little (if any) common sense, or thinking processes...

    I actually find it funny that any one player thinks they pay a fair portion of anyone's salary, even at federal minimum wage (and I'm fairly sure that CA minimum is well above that).

    7.25/hr x 40 hrs/wk x 52 weeks/yr = annual salary of 15,080

    That's just for one person. A "fair amount" of even that is a ridiculous amount of money.

    Anyway, mathematics aside, we should be used to knee jerk "I quit" threads by now. Nerd rage abounds on the forums, after all.

    It's much the same as in the real world. Things don't go someone's way, they quit, think that they're entitled enough that their quitting really means more than spitting in the wind, and we give our obligatory "who gives a rat's patoot" finger twirl....

    And if you did your research, you'd actually click the born tab, which would scroll down and show my actual birth date, which is June 17, 1992... :rolleyes:

    So yeah, I'm actually 20.

    EDIT: I'll make sure to pass along your feedback, but as "I quit" threads are not allowed because they always turn into flame threads where the poster gets trolled, I unfortunately have to close this one done. Remember, now that the game is free-to-play, feel free to stop back anytime. We hope to see you again soon! ~BranFlakes
