Getting (some) gold perks for high F2P purchases, please

I don't have a lifetime, or gold account. They don't provide what I need when I needed it. (only 500/mo zen is not enough)
but after some calculation, I have spent $675 on this game. Amounting more than two lifetime accounts.
I say people who spend this great amount should get SOMETHING bonus. I'm not asking for the monthly zen, but like access to the 700 day xp bonus, and access to the Chimera. Maybe a small lobi monthly stipend. I think people who spend $500 or more should be given special access to things that monthly payers get. $500 is equivalent to having a gold account for 1000+ days!
I've been paying for your salaries more than most gold players and have no perks people who pay less than I do
PLEASE consider this.

It is great that you have been fortunate enough to have been able to spend as much money as you have on the game, and undoubtedly any of your purchases/transactions that you have made, have helped to keep the game alive.
However, all of your purchases went to whatever it was that you bought, and you therefore, got what you paid for.
Too often people want something for nothing, and while there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking, it does not mean that one should indeed receive something for nothing.
Ultimately, that is just my opinion, and I mean you no disrespect, but as stated in my opening line, I completely disagree with what you are asking for.
I have the lifetime sub and have spent way more than you in addition to that. I have no perks coming my way for it, so why should you? You're not special.
If you don't, don't, like you have done. It is that simple.
This. 1000 times this. I couldn't have put it better myself.
I want a countertop device that makes raktajino on command. In the real world.
Are there things I would like to have? Sure. Couple of ships I would LOVE to have. I have found other ships to suffice and work around what I am not "allowed" to have because I choose NOT to subscribe and do not have the money all at once to buy an LTS.
tl;dr - Want the bene's of a LTS or monthly subscription? Buy and LTS or actually subscribe.
I'll take one of those!
"There... are... four... lights!" ~Jean Luc Picard
as someone who was FTP until June......You pay....you get what you paid for.....if you didnt buy a sub or lifer....you dont get sub or lifer
If i spend the same amount as you + lifer...does that mean you shouldnt have to pay for the lifer, even though i did and got the exact same amount of other stuff
As the OP mentioned, 500 zen a month is farily low, so if an LTS player wants all those shineys - ie every ship, lockbox keys, etc, then they are all buying zen or grinding dilithium just like the F2P crowd.
Gold or LTS rewards for F2P players? I respectfully disagree as well. I feel it would just reduce the number of subs even further. I'd argue that the premise of the OP's thread shows that there isn't "enough" incentives to convice players to subscribe in the first place, let alone taking those away. I realize this is also a slippery slope - lumping too much in with Gold would take away from our admittedly good F2P model.
Full disclosure - I am LTS.
If you rent for 10 years, and end up paying twice the amount it would have cost you to buy the place, you don't get any of the bonuses or perks for owners.
Just because your bad investment costs you as much as the good investment doesn't mean you suddenly qualify from any of the benefits of the good investment.
A monthly lobi stipend for gold/lifetime subscribers is a great idea.
Hmm......I have an idea! An accolade and special title to display on all your toons for spending so much money on the game regardless of being subscribed or not. Call it "Loyal Customer" or something. If you had a cold chance in hell to get anything as a non-subscriber for what you spent on the game, I think something like that would be about all you'd get sadly.
I think that veteran rewards should stay the way they are for veterans and lifetime subscribers.
However, the OP is on to something.
Maybe there could be some sort of loyalty reward for everybody who spends real money on zen only. After spending so much money on zen you would get an account-wide special bridge officer with a unique trait, or maybe a special ground/ship weapon that scales with level (but isn't very competitive with rep/fleet gear, though useable). It would be based on zen purchased for your account from using your credit card online or inputting the code on the back of a zen card you bought at the store.
Something special for loyal customers regardless of subscription status would be nice so free players who don't want to, or can't, subscribe for whatever reason but are able to buy zen on occasion would feel rewarded.
what about those of us thats in the 3k plus range? I want Cryptic to send me a New Nvidia Titan card so I can play their game at max settings. I deserve it. I really do. Come on Cryptic.
I agree with this...furthermore, what the hell did you spend all that zen on?
Anyway, if you put the equivalent of an LTS into this game you should get those perks as well.
Something.
Anything.

Everytime I spend 50usd on zen, I get 300 z free. I should get.... oh.... wait....
...is that all you get after giving them 50 bucks?
I'm glad I hand over only 20 bucks at a time...if I think they deserve it.

As for the OP. I could have spent the same amount and bought everything you have. The. I still paid for a. LTS. Now you are trying to take my perks. It is bad enough early Tribble Access was promised and taken away. ( totally different subject ). If you want the perks pay for them. You do get a bonus. On e you start spending a certain amount of Zen, Cryptic gives you more. They give 300 more for 5000 purchase.
