There is already a thread about this, but to sum up: 50,000 free Dilithum per character is now getting dumped into the Exchange and flooding the market; thus making the value go up.
STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.
How is it in the toilet? Dilithium prices are very subjective based on supply and demand. At one point in time, it was about 300 dilithium per Zen. At another point in time, it was at 90 dilithium per zen. So in a few months, it might reach a level that you like or it could be 200 dilithium per zen. So what someone considers to be in the toilet is based on whether they are buying or selling zen and what day it is.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

I wonder how many players know that if they want it to go down, they just need to stop putting Dilithium on at that price. The exchange is like purchasing anything in real life. If no one puts Dil on the exchange at more than 80 Dil per Zen, then it will not go above that.

That wasn't focused forward you. It was just a thought in general. I have had a lot of people to mention to me that they thought there should be a cap on it. However, the only reason that it is so high is because others are buying it at higher prices.

Increases are fad-driven as always: With the Bug promotion coming to a close, people are all piling in to grab their packs before they fly away. Then S9 shows up with its new sinks, possibly a new holding, and people will need their minerals back.
And I'll have their minerals that they foolishly dumped at a bad price, and make them pay more to get it back. PROFIT!

I started playing just after that and it was still in the 300-400 range. :P
(Course there was nothing to spend it on back then...)
Burned myself out grinding for the TOS bundle...

Those were the days~
I already did that. And ima not going to put anymore dil until things get balanced a bit, or at least about 130 dil per zen as "always".
