    There are no shenanigans. Period. The Devs felt that powerlevelling in Tau Dewa was exploitave behavior and are removing it temporarily.

    Either deal with it or uninstall the game.

    We are asking for a proper explanation. Either deal with it or log out of the forums.

    How can something that has been available in-game since day one, be exploitive?

    Especially since there are parts of the game that actually tell the player to go do it??

    If the post above is correct, you should get that sometime tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then sometime between tomorrow and the end of time.

    Small number of players? Riiiiiight...

    Everyone's ****ing doing it. So either this is a different issue or Cryptic is actually blind to their own metrics...

    As has already mentioned, their official stance is "exploit", that is likely all wr will get and no amount of crying on the forums will revert it.

    You are clearly new to the forums if you honestly think it would ever change to anything else but what they want.

    Once they have changed something major, it has NEVER been reversed.

    I don't think They were blind to Their numbers...

    It's just that the player-base is better at "putting a curve" on the numbers than Cryptic expected.

    Its making me wonder if they actually review their metrics.

    Then again, they still have yet to fix the loadout issues, R&D upgrade glitches, the entire MAC client debacle...

    Clearly you are as well since you seem to conviently be forgetting when Dan reversed the dilithium rewards nerf after LOR got released. Nice try though.

    Is it at all possible that "small number" means exactly that, and a few ppl found a way to take it a step further than what was already being done? Or is it just wishful thinking on my part?

    (Rhetorical qquestion. I already know the answer)

    As I said in another post, my guesses are the selecting the lowest level teammate thing and the NPCs not scaling properly to 60.

    I'm going to make a guess and say that if people were farming the patrols in the DQ, this wouldn't have been an issue.

    Makes sense but honestly, can you blame them considering how painful leveling alts has become?How is that a winning strategy for Cryptic? I want to buy more things when I have more characters, not less.

    Hm, i remember a about 800 page thread about the Galaxy that was updated daily and nothing ever happened, there was a massive uproar about the Race, nothing happened, time and time again their track record says one thing and one thing only: "what we say goes."

    As the Doctor once said, a murderer sparing someone once does not stop the fact that they are a murderer.

    In this case, the exception does make the rule. You said major decisions never get reversed; I gave you an example of one that did get reversed, proving you wrong.

    Still does not say anything, if they change it, no amount of crying will change it back. You would have to be delusional to think so.

    As we discussed in another post today, making alts a painful process is exactly what they want. Why do they want this? One word; money.

    They know people love alts and they want you to make as many as you want. They also know that there are a lot of people out there like you who want to buy things for all your characters. Just look at what has been happening over the last couple of years. We have timegate after timegate after timegate. Now they've introduced the R&D system with... timegates. However, how is it different than the Rep systems? You can "Finish Now" by paying Dil in the R&D system. It's only a matter of time before you see the "Finish Now" creep into fleet projects, rep projects, dailies etc. all for a sizeable chunk of Dil which they intend for you to fork over the cash for.

    Yes I understand this but again there is a breaking point. Eventually enough people will just get so fed up with it that they'll leave and a high rate of turnover for a game with a fan base comprised of diehard star trek fans is bad. Let them keep time gating us to death though. One day they'll time gate this game so hard nobody will be left to fill in the excessive and cartoonish rep progress bars.

    I can't comment on other players ways around things here. I just do those patrols on daily bases but since DR came out I am hardly in that sector anymore. The points you earn not enough to boost me into the next level. Borg Disconnect PVE or run around on DR Adventure Zone Planet repeating those ground battles over and over all day long. So the meter on the top of your screen moves as you do.

    Congratulations Lieutenant from Spock voice once. I know I was Vice Admiral when he said that. It would be funny if he said that now as I am Admiral.

    Good summary and likely correct. (Sorry to truncate your post.)

    My response to this? NOT spending money I had earmarked for more purchases. Think I'm kidding? (Answer: no. I'll spend it on something else.)

    But I'm only one person doing this... It'll take a LOT MORE before sales figures change PWE's minds.

    Gotta start somewhere though...
