PUGging the old KSE was a blast with a group of lowbie cruisers, and you know we're all high-5ing each other if we get lucky and get a player with a built shimmy. It stops being fun when normal requires everyone to have an average 20 million damage output for the whole mission. And for 480 dilith reward for an advanced match it's not worth the time to run the mission. We can grind more in less time running random patrols.
The elitism in this is astounding. The issue isn't people not knowing how to build a ship, or anything of the such. While I'm sure there are issues with this, you make the arrogant assumption in this game everyone is a moron but yourself, and prove your own ignorance. When 5 people that are dropping 11k+ have to concentrate fire on something to kill it in a reasonable amount of time, something is wrong.
Plus Fleet Alert cannot function in its current form. It's meant that players of all levels can run it but that cannot happen the way it is now, so yes they need to call attention to it. If you still want a challenge, run an elite at max level. They make them for a reason. That or throw all white gear on your ship.
By what your saying, it does apply to you, you just don't really know what you are doing, or want to admit it.
Calm down, when the servers are back up, take my advice, and find a good team, because it seems you keep insisting on doing this, but it also seems the way you are describing this, your PUGGING IT.
Stop PUGGING IT, and it get a coordinated team, and learn how FUN and NON time consuming it still is.
I'm not PUGGING story missions...or anything else.
There is massive amount of glitches, and the enemies have insane abilities that scale with my team.
I KNOW what I'm doing, you jerk!
I've been stomping ALL content in this game until Delta Rising came along with it's Vaadwaur lunacy, and it's 700k Hull Hit Points.
Basically, my 4-years+ experience has gone completely out the window.
That's ridiculously insulting.

You have a science gank? or are all five of you tactical wanna be DPSERS? If your pulling 11k DPS your doing something wrong, as tac.
And my good sir, if you knew me, you would know i am not an "elitist" i run the best most casual tier 5 fleet system of alliances in the game i have seen, ever. We just help our people get their fun, by having fun with em and keeping them informed. If this makes me an elitist, so be it, i guess i am.
Hpow is saying go meet some people, being elitist? i thought most elitist were in the 30k DPS channel, i am not Just the 10k.
You know, its a thing called team work.
Sometimes we also like to use a word called diversity, you know, bring a tank, 1 healer, and 1 science ganker, and 2 DPS heavy Tacs or something.
DPS dont matter, team work does. No where did i say anything about DPS, except in this post.
So heres the deal to all the nay sayers, and whiners ive seen in this thread, about them wanting cryptic to "nerf" the advanced/elite. Get over it, and learn a build, and put it together.
if you cannot do the new stuff you have one or multiple of the problems i am going to list.
1. You dont actually know a decent ship build. ( gear level is not that important )
2. Your skill tree, you have that all messed up don't you?
3. Your not level 60, SO do normals, until you are max level.
4. Remember Normals were all you could do at level 44-45t to level 50?? Well they should make you do normals from 50-55 so you all quit whining.
5. Your too, unknowlegeable, or unaware how FREE to play this game is, without even needed to cheat, with a macro or anything to make dilithium, and turn it into zen.
Your only whining because cryptic is forcing you to play content, your not "used to".
I would suggest to you, temporarely find a fleet, that is willing to help you learn some actual knowledge about the game, and play with them. Most people have fleet channels, and they are basically "fleet alliances".
If your an owner of a small fleet, make an alt toon and go meet some people. For petes sake this is an MMO, its not meant to be played solo. These are meant to be social games. Join an alliance, with a tier 5 fleet, and get access to your gear that way, and keep your fleet. Its not hard to do things, as long as you have a team that knows what they are doing.
Crytpic has done the best thing they could for this game, because even for most casual players, that play it for the social experiance, as adults, THINK ITS TOO EASY. ( you know, the actual money providers for the game. )
Cryptic, and the team SAID you could not just pug the new stuff, so stop trying to join a que from a pug group. Expecially while everyone that knows what to do is power leveling.
I say thank you cryptic, for taking us in a brighter, better direction!
We all happily accept your generous invitation to join your fleet so that you can teach us how to properly play STO.:P
It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than the STO forums.
I think when the server is down for maintenance the launcher should just play episodes of pinky and the brain.
Or maybe, I don't know...Star Trek?

Running a server is just like riding a bicycle! Except it's a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
