    You're doing it wrong...

    If you want cryptic to add something, you need to present a business-case where you explain why and how said addition can be monetized.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...

    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    No need, they already introduced the upgrade system ! :D

    And btw I have not seen a MK XIV drop so far, very few MK XIII. :confused:

    So where does Mk XIII vendor trash drop ? The only place in the game where you actually need it to get it I bet.

    Since enemies don't scale above level 50 in the old content, farming Tau Dewa Elite till you're suicidal is probably not the place to go to. :D

    upgrade system - looks nice onpaper, in reality it is big PITA. So thats why i ask for adding mk 13/14 to stores.

    While Cryptic is certainly able to sabotage their whole new upgrade system in that manner, don't get your hopes up. ;)

    Cryptic has already stated the Mk XIII and XIV gear will not be dropping or for sale in the foreseeable future.

    The goal is to create a market for R&D; and a money sink for players.

    I've never seen a MkXII or MkXIV drop yet in any DR mission or Patrol (and I'm on Elite) - and even the actual mission rewards are MkXII [Acc 3] Purple Phaser Beam banks. They will probably NEVER add MxXIV to the Dil or Rep store BECAUSE they want everyone to use the Upgrade system to get a MkXIV item? Why? It's part of their monetization for STO now.

    Or a way of funneling EC down from the top end of the player base (ie. those most keen on upgrading) to the rest of the population (which has in total volume a greater capacity to harvest the necessary resources for top-end player upgrades) and thereby create a much healthier economy than existed before (because its much more directly rewarding players for their productive capacity than with Doffs, XII consoles, vendor trash, lock box gear, and so on.)

    money sink for one player is gold mine for another :) what i realy hate on rad is inability to run bacthes - like you want 100x advanced research pack ? np, just select 100x and with resources wait TRIBBLE mins, and not do task 100x one by one, task which take 15s to coplete, realy fun killer.
    And whole rad system will deserve more user friendlines rework.
    And since exchange mk13/14 are WAY overpriced, rad system PITA, i will not use him. So will wait until mk 13/14 are on sale...and only after it i will buy t6 ship, since t6 with mk12 gear is just waste of money.
