Yes, I said it.
Yes, I said "Phonics" knowing full well it's "Phoenix."
If there are posts here that do not appeal to you, or opinions you disagree with, the best way to deal with that is to resist the urge to add comments. Instead, engage with the content you like! Don't feed the trolls!

More things in stores with currency that makes sense.
How is it we can only buy junk with latinum, which is most prized, but all the good stuff is from Lobi, which was a junk jem used to scam unsuspecting visitors in Canon? Are they trying to tell us something?
Really, I'd rather just pay the Zen price for what Cryptic calculates an item should be worth, rather than having to buy Zen, buy keys, gather boxes, open boxes, save up Lobi... I can count the number of Lobi items I've bought over the years on one hand, mostly because the hassle makes it hard to part with, but couldn't count the number of $5/500 Zen transactions if I got my whole family's hands and feet together to count with. Never mind the bigger transactions like ships...
Yeah, less stuff in the Lobi Store, please.
Lobi has some good stuff. Sucks that Lobi is bound and untradeable. Then again it's part of their whole "Buy zen, go C-Store, buy keys, open lockboxes, get Lobi, buy stuff you can't get anywhere else in Lobi store that no one knows about because it doesn't always get mentioned" business model.
Same thing happens with the Omega game. It takes 2997 Particle traces to equal 999 Silver, both of which give you exactly the same amount of Upgrades - 37. Nearly makes collecting the traces not worth the effort. Not to mention, if you try doing the maximum amount of crafting upgrades all at once, it'll take that R&D Project 5 days to complete. It's a all just a Resource/currency sink. (but the upgrades ARE nice...)

Actually make it two four piece sets: one with an Obsidian Order theme and the other with a Central Command theme.
Can only imagine what some of these captains have to smell like after 7 years without a shower... crammed into a small space...
I'd say, when push comes to shove, the only reason the lobi store exists is because lobi crystals are the ONLY item absolutely 100% guaranteed to have you open lock boxes. So, if you want like a Tachyo, you *will* need to open boxes, with no way to get them for EC or any other means.
Yep those hats would be mine, let it be 100 Lobi or a mil Dil each!

Hmm. Think your math is a bit off.
Let's see.
At current prices, one key goes for 106 zen (temporarily reduced price) or roughly 31,800 Dil (at 300 Dil per 1 Zen) or 5,395,000 credits on the exchange.
If you get say 4 Lobi (lucky!) per box, and the price is 100 Lobi, then you need at least 25 boxes for the right about of Lobi.
Your Price for that item based on each type of currency would be:
1. 100 Lobi ............(25 boxes + 25 keys)
2. 2,650 Zen ..........(at 300 Dil per 1 Zen)
3. 795,000 Dil
4. 134,875,000 Credits
or something like that. So 1 mil Dil? Close enough.
(was thinking it'd be higher for some reason)

On a more serious note, why not add some emotes to the lobi store? I'm wary of things like auras, having seen what's happened to Team Fortress 2.
It is not absolute. Infinity and select lock boxes, featuring a grand-grand-prize/"ultra rare" ship drop, have them tied as a random chance to drop instead of lobi. If you win that ship, you get no lobi from that lock box.
Lobi accumulation doesn't guarantee key eating. Lobi drops from promo packs as well.
I want a proper British bowler to use on my Andorian SciGuy.
My KDF Tac would look verah keweI wearing a ballcap with the Firefly logo.(Josh Wheadon FTW!)
But most of all, I long to place a US Cavalry Stetson, complete with crossed sabers, on my Rom Eng and his Away Team.
Boots and saddles! Scouts out!

Bad idea. If you look at my last few posts, you'll see that putting anything in the Lobi store will cost someone a hell of a lot more for that item than it does if its in the C-Store. It's roughly a 300:1 difference in currency with Zen the 300 and Lobi the 1.
