Dear Cryptic Team, A VERY serious proposal.

Dear Cryptic Team,
I started playing this game when F2P launched, and less then a week later I was level 50, then again on my next character, and again, and again, okay think you get the point. Obviously I've been at the endgame content for awhile now, and I would like to propose a radical idea.
My idea is that after season 8 is launched you delay the planned season 9 for one full season. The whole purpose behind these "seasons" is that you give more content to the end game players, well no offense but end game content has been nothing more than grinding, and really to be honest starts getting really boring after the first week or two. This is where my idea comes into play. Instead of the planned season 9 why not finally take the time to develop the poker mini-game and some other mini-games, revamp ship interiors and functionality, fix the errors with the exchange and really just give yourselves some breathing room to really iron out all of the bugs and little things you've wanted to get done/finished but haven't had the time to.
Personally as an everyday (and I do mean literally everyday) player I really won't mind the delay of a season for this. With the Rep System, Fleet progression system, the normal everyday grind, special events and everything else, this really would be the perfect time to do it. We would have the new content from season 8 plus everything else I just mentioned so it would really give you some time to work on overall game improving additions and changes.
I can honestly say that I am probably one of the few players that really understands the amount of hardship you had right from the start of acquiring the rights to the game and then unrealistic deadlines and then the change in ownership and then on top of that the migration to F2P. I'm sure there's a huge list of things that have been put on the back burner or never even started simply because you are trying to give us end-game players more to do. I greatly appreciate your efforts to continually add new content for us, but please take a break from that and really add in some of the more dynamic aspects of this game that I'm sure all of you would love to see as much as we would.
It is my sincere hope that enough of my fellow players will see this and truly show their support for this idea, and even give some constructive ideas as to what they would realistically like to see added if this were to be done. And on that note I ask, I challenge my fellow STO players to really seriously consider what small things they would like to see added,changed that could be done within the time period of a season that would make their overall STO experience more dynamic, diverse, and in all more enjoyable.
Thank you for your time and attention, and in advance to all players and development staff that give their constructive feedback on this proposal.

umm think you need to reread my post. I was not talking about delaying season 8, rather that they delay whatever was planned for season 9 which wouldn't be developed yet. I was referring to a lot more than just mini-games, again actually re-read it thoroughly and slower this time. I also mentioned bug fixes and many other things. the whole "waiting on x,y,z from Neverwinter" is a bs line for why interiors haven't been improved, and really you think they're just going to add customization interiors without some type of grind fest, functionality not customization through grinding. Again please re read my original post and slower this time so you read the whole thing and not just skim through it.

It would be great if they worked on what must be an ever growing list of wish list items. I know several people would love to have beachwear for Risa, etc. But the reality of a MMOs is that doing these things is very tricky.
For every player that is like you, and willing to wait for the big stuff for little improvements, There are probably ten or twenty people who are bored with what there is currently, since they have done it all, and want more to do. It is a never ending cycle.
This is why these wish list items remain wish list items for as long as they do. At the end of the day, Video game development is a business, and like any other that means they need to make money. Making money means meeting the needs of the playerbase, which unfortunately are always going to cry for more content, So much of the development resources end up going to adding more content rather then fun little cool stuff, which gets backlogged.
we have FTP players (most of them under 18)
gambling under 18 is illegal
That's what Season 8 is supposed to be. However, the KDF community is not terribly enthusiastic about Cryptic's promises, imo.
Hope you like drowning!
Not much to add to that really. It need lots of patches from "thats how it really should be" department instead of "It does not break the game anymore so we can jump to the next thing" department.
There is no way I'm reading through that from beginning to end, but the basic gist I'm getting is that you A: Want to slow the leveling process down so it takes longer to get to Level 50 and B: Stop whatever they're doing and make minigames and bug fixes.
Honestly, I hope they don't take this seriously.
What you're asking is not bad, I just don't see it happening. At least not this way.
What do you think Dabo is, bucko?
500 years in the future and we still look like schmucks when getting our ID photos taken...
I agree with the idea that Cryptic should take more time with their season updates, some of the problems relating to S7 could have been avoided if they just took the time to fix bugs and double check everything before release (listening to feedback would've helped too).
I do not agree that they should spend all this time with minigames and fluff. I am BORED of minigames and fluff. I'd happily wait twice as long for a season if it added a new faction, a new collection of episodes, revamped PvP...or indeed this mythical Klingon faction update. Hell I'd appreciate a whole season dedicated to properly fixing what we have now before jamming in new features.
Of course it is all about compromise, and most players refuse to wait any longer then they have to for new stuff - even if it is novelty items or locations that wear off after a week. I can't blame Cryptic, they need to cater for the people who pay them so they don't have a choice.
Of dubious legality at best
#1 We have lock boxes and master keys. They are just as much gambling as would be for Dilithium/Zen on a Poker Table.
#2 They can code a Poker game to only allow Energy Credits and Latinium as the currency, thus saving your precious dilithium and zen, thus not breaking any laws.
I agree with you, new faction, new collection of episodes and revamped PvP (OMG the forbidden world PvP and sieges to all players starbase?s)
No i'm not to be honest. why? because we were suppose to have a full faction a long time ago with content and everything if i'm right
I'd say to turn this into season 8.5 which would make fixes and complete features or just make it a part of season 9.
