well its wrong and its still wrong there is no reason to make them lock box only when they can also make it available for the Z store its not like they wouldn't make any less money for both parties
yes it is when it is been made for lock box only that's like only exclusive players with enough money that is able to get them all cryptic/pe had to do is put them in the Z store that way it would be available for everyone in the game not to be put in these lock boxes for the exclusive few and like I said before its not like they would be losing any money in fact they be gaining money not only to satisfy CBS but also Paramount but I guess greed gets what they want.
Gambling is also more profitable than other types of business. The large majority of MMOs have chanceboxes, and regardless of personal opinion, they're here to stay unless the state of California and/or the Federal Government decides to step in and pass some additional regulations over the practice.
So, no, lockboxes make way more money than the C-store does. It just comes with the additional benefit that just about everything in the lockboxes themselves can also be freely traded to people who have not spent a dime on the game.
By the time I save up enough to even get the T6 connie or the kelvin dreadnought they be all sold out in the exchange which no one understands that and yes I only get 500 zen a month but what is that going to do for me in the long run? wow 4 keys and by that time of saving and what not they won't be in the exchange anymore cause everyone would of got them before I could even get to one and with the upcoming boxes that will also make it 50 times harder to get.
Ya I have a T1 connie but like that makes anything better to have heck I had it since beta testing was done
yes it is when it is been made for lock box only that's like only exclusive players with enough money that is able to get them all cryptic/pe had to do is put them in the Z store that way it would be available for everyone in the game
They're available to everyone in the game now, regardless of being in a lockbox or not.
If it was in the c-store? How would you get it? You have a limited monthly stipend. So you would have to put up some cash and/or grind out dil so that a few months down the road you could get it. Same process to get it the way it is now, except you'd buy keys and sell them for the EC. Yes, it would end up costing a bit more. But that's the price you pay for not being able to make EC easily and get it faster.
In a few months it will be in the infinity lockbox and will be a lot cheaper. So there's a ton of time for you to make 100m-150m EC. Cryptic basically said that the purpose of the Infinity lockbox is to narrow the gap between the haves and the have nots in the game. The have nots just have to wait a bit.

The Galor and Ferengi D'Kora Marauder were amongst the first grand prize lockbox ships (with the JHAS technically first in the Red Prize boxes in the Winter Event), and they are still able to be found on the exchange in reasonable numbers.
It's well within the realm of probability that the Kelvin Timeline lockbox ships will find themselves in a future iteration of the Infinity Lockbox as well, meaning they will not only be regularly available, they will end up being sold for the same price as other Infinity Lockbox ships (meaning cheaper).
So no, history does not support your theory that by the time you get enough currency (either real or virtual) to afford your T6 Connie, they will all be gone.

Like everything you have posted, this statement is confusing.
On one hand you're saying you only get 500 Zen a month and that you have to 'save up' indicating that you can't just buy more Zen.
But the initial point of your incoherent and nonsensical rant is that you want the ship put in the C-Store so you can buy it.
So let me ask this, are you requesting that it not only be put in the store, but put there for free? If you're willing to pay 3k Zen to buy it from the shop, why not just spend that same 3k on keys, combine that with the keys you'll get with your stipend and that will probably be enough to just buy the ship. Keys are on sale right now and the price of the ship keeps going down.
It just seems odd that you seem to be claiming some form of financial hardship in a thread that was started asking for them to put an item up for sale.
get off you shaming horse I have a right to say how I feel is wrong about how this game is being handled when it comes to these ship you don't realize how long I have been waiting for a T6 connie only to be put in d.a.m.n. lock box
By the time I save up enough to even get the T6 connie or the kelvin dreadnought they be all sold out in the exchange which no one understands that and yes I only get 500 zen a month but what is that going to do for me in the long run? wow 4 keys and by that time of saving and what not they won't be in the exchange anymore cause everyone would of got them before I could even get to one and with the upcoming boxes that will also make it 50 times harder to get.

wow so you saying that cryptic/pe put these ships as a lock box is a lie oh my god wow well the truth is its BS the T6 connie shouldn't of been a lock box it should of been in the Z store like I said before and ill say it again like cryptic/pe would lose any money by putting it in the Z store for everyone to have its like its a problem for players who get it from these boxes to say oh its suppose to be in a lock box only and all of a sudden get bent out of shape just because someone like me rather want it in the Z store instead of a d.a.m.n. box
hey dumbass I was deployed when she cheated on idiot and I'm not lying about anything wow get your head out why would I lie thank you and further more cryptic/pe is more of a lie than anything so get the f.u.c.k. off your f.uck.in.g all mighty horse and f.u.c.k off my ex is getting money cause she in a state that only cares about womens rights so get off my case.
Dude, everyone...everything this guy says is full of lies. He is LYING for whatever reason. Although I can totally see a wife cheating on him. I mean if my spouse as full of it and as whiny as this guy, I'd cheat too. Course I don't blame the wife one bit...and if she is getting alimony, it's well deserved for being married to somebody like him. It's everyone else fault...and how dare he have to come up with a solution on his own. I mean his demands even doesn't make any sense. He is lying. All of it. Seriously, he claims that he can't collect an amount of EC that I have gotten in 6 months of NORMAL PLAY over a period of 7 YEARS. If I felt like doing some serious EC farming, I can collect 300 mil EC in about a month. So yeah...no nothing he said is true. The sob story wasn't as obvious...but if you see the other thread that got closed...yeah...no. DOn't believe a word he says. He is just another useless twat who can't figure things out on their own and wants thinks handed to them.
wow so you saying that cryptic/pe put these ships as a lock box is a lie oh my god wow well the truth is its BS the T6 connie shouldn't of been a lock box it should of been in the Z store like I said before and ill say it again like cryptic/pe would lose any money by putting it in the Z store for everyone to have its like its a problem for players who get it from these boxes to say oh its suppose to be in a lock box only and all of a sudden get bent out of shape just because someone like me rather want it in the Z store instead of a d.a.m.n. box

TR, I would recommend that you move away from the keyboard and take a deep breathe. You already have broken some forums rules with this thread, and your latest comment you have just made it worst for yourself.
Step away, take a breathe, would be my recommendation.
