So...I thought we got this rep power nerf to curb power creep?

SO we get a nerf to rep power to help curb the power creep and then you release ridiculously power creep-ed Undine ships and these new rep sets...this really seems to be getting out of hand and either you're just trying to make a quick cheap buck, trying to kill the game, or both.

Ruining the game more and more in the process...

    Yeah, really blows your mind, doesn't it?

    I would say - 'both', but not on purpose, but rather out of stupidity.

    Yep, they nerfed what we already have, and buffed what we don't have. That way we have to spend money on lockboxes to get the new ships, and play another grind to get the new gear.
    Because otherwise no one would do the new rep, as they nerfed the old reps hard.

    I Just spent over a 100 hours this month grinding all 4 reputations sets to build a romulan pilot and right when I get to the end of it, they take away over 1/2 of my reputation space buff abilities forcing me and everyone else to only be able to choose 4 of them and forcing me to choose ground skills in place of the space ones that I've lost.
    This is so completely hard to believe right now that someone within STO's developer community would alienate their player base with a wide sweeping change such as this.
    Really, who ever instituted this change needs to be fired!!!!!!!! FIRED!!!!!!!
    Now amplify my feelings x's 4 other toons which I have also made that very same grind for......

    I will not spend another $$ on this game unless this gross mistake is corrected, and I will rage quit....starting now until a member of my fleet contacts me allerting me as to its correction.

    And to whoever allowed for this change to happen, you are so completely out of tourch with what this game is you should not be in the position that you are, you are what we deem in the gaming community as a game killer.......Probably you came over from SWG, after that game went belly up do to changes such as these.......WTG, Clap-Clap!

    This is why lots of us always read the dev blogs and dev posts to see what is coming. The forum knew about this change for about a month already.

    This change was necessary to deal with when we have 15 reputations and 60 passive powers not for the current state of the game. STO doesn't like to gate content so all content must be possible by every level 50 character. If players have 60 passive powers, then content would be too easy and players would be completely bored with the new content.

    Lol in that case, they should nerf everything so that everyone is balanced to rank 40 and level appropriate ships. Even then, the game would still be waaaaay too easy considering the current state of the game (I'm talking about the power/abilities available to players).

    The problem is that there would be a massive power difference between those who have the rep, and those who don't. If they make content harder/players weaker so that those with rep can be challenged, then those without it will have a really hard time.

    Or they could just reset everything by doing a level cap increase.

    Yeah, they broke to triats with this limit. Which is fine if your a new player, but once again the vets get screwed. Well I'm done...been playing since beta and this trait nerf was the last straw. I'm going to go spend my money somewhere where I dont get all my hours of grinding and work nerfed because all the free to play crybabies can't hold there own in a elite STF. Nice job Cryptic, nice way to lose revenue from a loyal player of your now..broken game. PS: We wanted the bugs fixed, not ESD fluff! :mad:

    So you basically aren't ever going to play any online game ever again then. Best of luck to you.

    Actually it sounds like the crybaby cannot handle stfs without 4 more traits than the rest of us.

    Here's the thing the Dev's don't give a TRIBBLE about the player base. how much rage and feedback was given about the Galaxy Reboot and nothing was done to the Galaxy-R but a 2 piece set bonus.

    I levelled 12 toons in all reps , did the grind and now have been restricted to using only some of those perks from that grind.

    What confidence has Cryptic given me with this change to spend real money on the game
