Cryptic will launch its nerf on our dil.
It's time to show them that we will not be overwhelmed !
it's time to tell the Devs that we PvP because we love it, not because we exploit it!
What can YOU do to stand against the PvP dilithium nerf? Simple. All PvPers who are against the cool down on Dilithium missions shall boycott Cryptic's Summer event, and that's not all. We will, whenever we see a dev of any kind, challenge him to PvP, but to 5 kills only, so that we will not gain ANY DIL, showing cryptic that PvP isn't for Dil but for fun, but PvP should give higher rewards, not a mere 1440 dil a day!
None of us shall land our beautiful PvPer toons on Risa! None of us shall fly in jetpacks!
PvPers, only united we can beat the Nerf, and get our beloved Dilithium as it is today!
Us PvPers will not surrender, because we love getting our Dilithium by doing some content that requires skills, not spacebar!
PvPers unite, against the nerf!
!
What's the PvP protest:
-none of us shall participate in the Risa event
-none of us shall buy ZEN with real money from this day until we can be sure our dil will not be touched!
-Whenever we see a Dev, on ESD, friend list etc, CHALLENGE HIM TO PVP!
What can be done by Cryptic: keep the repeatables, but make private matches not count, there you go. It's THAT EASY!

Cryptic went to nerf the Rep system, nothing happened.
Cryptic went to nerf the ESTF processor rewards, nothing happened.
Sorry to burst the bubble, but those impacted the big pve crowd too.... and yet nothing happened.
Cryptic has taken deaf ears to the complaints lately, even if the majority of the players complained, or were affected poorly.
I've stopped caring, on to other games for me and most of my friends now.
I don't like the dil nerf, buuuut... I want to play on Risa, and don't particularly care to annoy devs by spamming challenge requests.
oh well, enjoy powerboarding, and doing STFs with your cruiser to get the dil. or do you prefer doing pvp, getting all the 8k dil? (with a cruiseliner too if cryptic listens to us...)

Well if you consider this game leaking players like a strandet supertanker leaks oil "nothing" then I agree...
Any boycott you attempt doomed to fail because ;1.You are highly unlikely to get enough people to follow suit to be worth it. 2. The pvp community in this game is simply too small to make any noticeable difference anyway. 3. You will only be hurting yourself because cryptic wouldn't care whether you take part in the summer event anyway.
Have fun avoiding Risa anyway. We won't miss you.

to have dropped it here: i hated the grind for my corvette and the nukara-rep(?) per birds. easy done, sure. but totally annoying after at least a couple of days as well
as for the challenges..... anytime, the more the better >) (not the spam part, but the very-unlikely-to-happen-part that they take such challenges)...
also it's not that i do care too much for this game, it's more that there's one thing that really can drive me nuts: refusal of reflection of oneselfs' actions and views, to may get to an altered behaviour that more fits a sense of rationality in a kant'ish way.
...i find myself in that trap allday

The only cruiser I have hasn't been used in 2 years (hint, that's long before Aux2fart). And I stopped doing STFs months ago because I got so bored of doing them for the 1000th time. I also can't remember the last time I actively tried to fill my dilithium refinement cap.
I don't know if you realize it or not, but maybe people can be upset about the nerf without joining you on your little crusade. I for one will be enjoying Cap'N'Hold in my fleet Defiant and all the stuff on Risa during the summer.
Have a nice day.
Nothing is impossible to him who would try.... except getting cryptic to care about pvp.
Good my friend, very good.....
STOP THE DIL NERF, CRYPTIC/PWE!!

As far as spending money, I stopped doing that the day season 5 launched.
heard that was well.... and again it shows they're looking on the wrong side of the coin. on the other side are all those pvp'ers who gladly would join sto if its pew was viable
As it stands, STO is PWE's biggest cash cow (Brandon told me that less than two months ago when I STF'd with him (if you think this contradicts my earlier point of me quitting STFs, I only did this one because he was coming along), so it is recent), which explains why anything that's not monetized gets very little attention.
When I need dilithium I go to Battlezone.
When I need Zen ships I use dilithium exchange.
Honestly, I'd prefer to not annoy devs.
but wouldn't more pewers mean a lot of more money?

Yeah, and we've been telling them that for years. STO PvP is a potential cash cow if it were to be implemented properly. Totally neglecting it is the reason the metrics are so bad, not the lack of PvPers who would play if it were a major design factor.
It's amazing they haven't figured out that PvPers spend the most money on this game.

They won't care if you challenge them to a 1v1, they'll just ignore you.
They won't care if you temporarily stop buying zen, because you're not leaving the game. Eventually, you will. They have you. They know it.

Play the game the way they want you to or leave. That simple really.
PvP is not getting a hug any time soon from the devs.
They have been tweeking (reducing) rewards all over the game... the only thing I am surprised about to be honest is that this didn't happen sooner.
It does show that they don't really think about PvP or this would have been done at the start of S9... or 8. When they where playing with rewards in PvE.
To be hoenst... I still don't really care about this change.
I am not going to change how I play.... I PvP... and when I want to grind D I roll 5 or 6 toons through some PvE.
If you decide this change is to much for you and your out. Lets be realistic about it... Cryptic doesn't mind seeing you go. Some people say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Cryptic says when you have thousands of wheels... just pull the squeaky ones off and hope some one else picks em up. lmao

I wonder why tighten dil farming though. They have to know most people will just do without, and the cost in people leaving is far greater. Or so I presume, none of us are anywhere near what an average STO player is.
So the question remains, is this the start of the downward spiral of STO? Or just another bit of milking the players? I haven't spent any money in forever, but what about the average player that everything is built around these days?
(and challenging Devs to PVP has too much of a "Yu-Gi-Oh" connotation for me to take it seriously .;))
You want to protest ?
Turn the queues and OPVP and this forum into a ghost town .
For a week , two weeks , however long you feel it's a positive action that is supported by the most .
The STF'ers mostly did this when S.7 debuted .
Many wanted to play on sure , there was that itch that needed a scratch ... -- but the indignation felt by many , when Cryptic thought that they could just move rewards around the game randomly to content nobody wanted to play -- that arrogance + player outrage did it's job .
If you can organize a PR campaign around it and have the Podcasts talk about your counter action (and not just the Dil nerf itself) , that'd also be good .
Unfortunately I witness and foresee the usual STO player behavior here :
Apathy at best , being uninformed as the middle road and turning against the fellow player at worst .
Plus choosing not to play (when you really want to) is a different kind of test , something that many gamers fail at .
Plus there is the 'Cryptic behavior' to deal with ... -- releasing unwelcome news on a Thursday , ignoring the rage on the forums on the weekends and by the time Monday comes along , most of the rage (in it's original potent form) has been exhausted and only a few players carry on in hopes that this will bring the change they desire .
I've been around the block and raged about a few (too many) things , not to notice this behavior .
And this is true also ... but some of you may have not noted this since you're uber focused on PVP .
This is not about Devs hating PVP , it's about one more poorly thought out fix by the Devs .
Sadly this is about the Devs (or PW's) view of in-game economics ... , and in STO it's as poor to the player as the game's endgame content is .
