Well considering that a member of Dental has officially, in essence, given OP's initial posts and subsequent replies their seal of approval....can we just consider this thread no longer a serious topic, but just a joke that should've died out ages ago?
In fairness: nabreeki Often adds a opposing voice to the general attitude...
It may be trolling, it may be conscious or unconscious playing "devils advocate"... He does it alot... Generally always seems to have the opposite opinion than everyone else... I don't know.
But he does force people to view at different angles... So like him or not... He at least adds more substance to his arguments than the OP does..
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
Skimmed through some of the amusing posts in this thread. Not sure why players are bothering to reply to the OP. Cryptic will never implement such a system. It completely conflicts their grind / pay to win model.
As for the whole dilithium / zen thing ...
Grinding dilithium for gear is a total waste of time! Go get a job (part time even or even informal) and get some exercise. Take some of the earnings and covert to zen and pay someone else to slave over the dilithium at 10 cents an hour or less!

This is my point. People have contempt for the workingman. Whose side should we fall on, the side of the mouth that speaks words of contempt, and the heart that holds feelings of contempt, or the side of the workingman, whose heart beats with weariness and whose brow sweats.
The side that you are not on.
It's not myfault ifyoufeel trolledbymyDisco ball...Sorry'boutit.
What sto needs most of all is for stakes to be added. When your ship explodes, there should be say a 10% chance that one of your items is destroyed. Items that could be reclaimed for free like prize ship and c store consoles should be excluded from this.
What I mean is, if your ship blows up, you should have a 10% chance of losing at random one of your weapons, consoles, engine, deflector, etc.
This loss should be permanent and require purchasing a new one from fleet or rep stores.
I also think that in PvP the chance of an item being destroyed on death should be much higher, as high as 30%.
PvP is obnoxiously boring in STO because there are no stakes at all involved.
Stakes make games compelling and immersive because they increase by a large factor the excitement of playing.
Since the game sorely needs new dil sinks, this would also help with dil inflation by forcing people who failed in combat to purchase new dil-cost items.
That is the real tragedy. There was a mouth here that spoke only contempt for the workingman, exhorting other cash money millionaires to glory in that they were paying him ten cents an hour to grind dil.
These people forget that zen prices being so high is a tangible harm to the best people, to the salt of the STO earth.
This problem needs a GLOBAL solution. It is my pride to be able to advocate for one in a clear voice.
It's very difficult to try to follow what you're saying, because it makes so little sense.
