My main complaint is that they just HAD to put the "Upgrade" button where the "Sort" button was... :mad: Really Cryptic?? You just had to add an accidental upgrade trap instead of putting the button in the middle of the GUI panel?? For sure, I will always be using the Sort function 100x more than the Upgrade, so it was really a cheap shot to move it...
Haha deep runs the moves for tempting you to upgrade. But seriously looking at all the BUG reprots even the upgraded stuff like Assimilated shields , elite sing cores etc have the same values of the earlier MK 12. Take a look at the BUG reports section to see the extent of issues.
That would imply that the stance that opposes your position is completely one from jealousy or greed. This is not necessarily the case. There are indeed people out there that believe that it's stupid regardless of winning it or not, as the one winning does not change the overall odds.
Many people who are complaining do spend money on zen. I do not think the problem is about 'give it to me for free'. Players are just tired of being milked. Sure, you can obtain stuff through grinding. When all those timegate3s and grinds add up, while someone spends money, the expense to play STO also goes up exponentially.
I have no problem with paying for more zen, for as long as the costs make logical sense.
Macro- and micro-transactions seem petty.
After reading the comments on Glassdoor, I think there are serious ethical problems at Cryptic.
Uh huh. If you spent $2 on a lottery ticket than won you a million dollars, it was the smartest investment you ever made, no question.
No it wasn't. Winning doesn't justify the bad odds no matter how much you get. You might be very well off now, but the lottery didn't "end". It's still ripping other people off. It's still giving people false hope. It's still bad.
Just because you have an unimaginable amount of money doesn't mean your empathy vanishes.
The simple solution to the issue is if you don't agree with or like the system, don't use it.
Honestly, that's where I'm leaning towards going forward. I only checked it out because they gave us a few free kits. It's just too time consuming and dilith expensive for me to bother with it.
There's a DILX for a reason. Sure let them change it to EC so we can have 20+ threads QQing about the EC cost next. If you can't control your urges to spend, it's not anybody's fault but your own. Read the forums, you don't need mk13+ for DR content. It's a want.
You keep thinking that my friend , while they keep saying you dont need it to play the content be rest assured you will die alot and get frustrated enough to buy buy buy . this whole power level increase is a few yrs too late , its like doing a wipe during a beta . EVERYONE at end game has to start over , those that have money to burn will throw money to get back to the level there at now , those that are causal and grinders will have to work for weeks to many months to get too the current play level .personally i see it taking a yr of playing for a causal player to get to the same end level play that there at now . thats the issue with this endgame change .
i dont mind new gear to get , but this makes every toon of mine that plays endgame content gear practically obsolete ,thats not a good feeling when you causally buy and grind out gear in a game . im sure there are quite a few that feel the same .
It's still ripping other people off. It's still giving people false hope. It's still bad.
Seeing as you don't need money from the lottery, and if you do need money badly you should do something other than gamble with the money you have aren't you over reacting?
Not really. I got first plenty of times with my breen chrett THAT ONLY USES TORPS and until a few days back with only mkXI blue equipment (with the exception of the 2 pieces breen set). This says it all.
I suposse i got really lucky and my team was all of em all the times newbies and T1 mirandas. I dunno.
Torps are king against the CE. During the event I ran with 20k people a few times, the fastest run ever involved a guy with a Nicor torpedo boat (who came in first). It took half the time of the other runs.

You're the second person I've heard complain about this.
You're also the second person I've ever heard uses the Sort button.
I suspect most of us organize our inventory, having manually set aside items we use (consumables, hangers, etc.) at the bottom, allowing loot to accrue at the top.

So the current system of upgrades makes you grind dilithium instead? and if one is impatient just pump in ZEN for dil to get rid of the time gates? for gear that is obviously not even the best just mk13 ? Plus whats wrong with foundry missions? there are some pretty good ones out there .. some better than the current in-game stories If i may add. And its pretty easy to control the foundry missions too to not make them farming shops.
Mark XIII is best for now. And eve when there will be Mark XIV, you will still inevitable upgrade items to Mark XIII on your way to Mark XIV.

I used to do it exactly like that, but I started using Sort on some characters that were too unsorted and to rarely played for me to bother... and now I use sort on all chars. Yeah, selling the vendor trash requires a bit more effort now, but I need to worry less about sorting my inventory out now.

Smartest? Hardly. That'd be a much higher than inflation guaranteed interest investment.
A *winning* lottery ticket would be the luckiest.

Then we're getting two weeks advanced notice to upgrade stuff before we need it. That's two weeks worth of projects that we don't need to rush.

Theyre also data mining like MoFos.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
