Gonna Beat a Dead Horse

hebda

I have bought so many ships since this game was released that it's not funny. I of course bought the LTS when it was first announced 5 years ago. I have poured over these forums looking at previous posts about this issue and not once has anyone from Cryptic/PWE commented on this issue and I would like a response.

Why are those of us who purchased any of the Intrepid variants being barred from having the interiors? Why were the interiors a limited time only purchase for those of us who had purchased previous variants. More importantly, when are we going to be able to purchase them?

It is absolute garbage that something like ship interiors are a limited time purchase or a locked purchase because we had already purchased a previous ship variant. I don't need Cryptic or PWE telling me how to spend my money. If I want to purchase something simply because it has one thing I want in it, then I should be able too. If I own all the LRSV variants and decide I want to pay $xx just to get the interiors, then who is Cryptic/PWE to tell me I can't? It's a digital item, it's not like it went out of stock and is no longer being produced. Since when did Cryptic decide they didn't like my money?

I would like to know why the decision was made to keep players and payers from being able to purchase these items? The original blog NEVER mentioned these limitations other than the T6 + Interior pack being for a limited time.

Wait for the belated edit .
It might show up anywhere between now and a few years down the road .

I feel you there and see it just like you.

But perhaps its time you and I finally get Cryptic’s message on topic and adapt.

Next time Cryptic offers you anything like it you are not going to think about it, you will lot reason or dare to wait. Just log in regularly, buy it ALL while you can ASAP or otherwise you regret it later on and we don’t want that to happen do we?

Bah! Many of us have been putting up with garbage like this from Cryptic for years. It started from day one. C-Store wouldn't be a P2W deal, but it is. LTS were getting exclusives, that after a year were turned into Vet rewards or showed up in the C-Store for purchase. The list goes on and for some reason, many of us are still coming back to get punished in some form or another by the powers that be.

I understand the need for micro transactions and I'm ok with it, but seriously, I will never understand the marketing. I mean people are paying more for ship bundles than the game itself cost when released. LoR and the DR packs are a prime example. They are on the C-Store because people will purchase them and that's great, but then when people ask to pay for something, we can't? What marketing genius (sarcasm) came up with that idea?

I agree with you and feel the same way; it’s disappointing and frustrating especially for those who seem to support the game the most.
