About a couple of days ago I had tried to convert my old crafting materials using the Material Conversion Store, to get the new R&D materials. Instead, what I got was some item called 'Common Crafting Materials' and which are bound to character! They wouldn't get stored into the R&D inventory, nor could they be used for R&D.
I put up a complaint ticket regarding the same and below is the reply I received:

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
We understand that you have an inquiry on the old samples that you have. Unfortunately the old samples will no longer be converted and be of used to crafting. Since the release of Season 9.5 they did a complete revamp on the crafting system as well as for the items.
We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Regards,

Is anyone else aware of this???
As far as I know, it was NEVER indicated in the release notes or otherwise that such a change would happen upon the release of Season 9.5. Now I am left with quite a number of the old items and all they can give is a lousy apology?!
NOT ACCEPTABLE.
I am mighty pissed at the way they are treating their subs! Appalling!!! :mad:

The strange thing was that the conversion worked instantly for the Random (rare) materials, but not with common and uncommon!!!
Anyway, Thanks again!!!
You Will be Assimilated.

Here's a map to show how much they've screwed up the game map.
I totally agree!! But the sad fact remains that Cryptic/PWE/STO has bungled it up somewhere and we, the players, have to suffer for that.

They didn't bungle it up. It's just converting materials to the newer R&D materials faster then they wanted you to would have been concidered an exploit and gotten all your samples taken away.
So in a way you should thank Cryptic for protecting you from accidently using an exploit.
EVEN BETTER, if you already have stacks of 100 [Uncommon/Common Crafting Materials] these will be converted 100 at a time every time you convert 1 old item!
(just found this out, so canceled my ticket to GM) :cool:
Your compassion is legendary. Mythical, even.
Just look how the bank/exchange is unresponsive/laggy when there is a lot of people in the game (and a lot of transaction with the bank/exchange). And it's probably much less server work than converting thousands of player's old mats at once.
Yup, because compassion really needs to be shown because someone is whiny...
