The poll would only matter if it were only among the people who actually made the expense to get the uniform. Or if the poll was on whether or not ALL exclusives, not just the MU should go C-Store.
I didn't buy the preorder and DD versions because the items were 'exclusive', I bought them because I liked having the option of using both the Borg BOff and the TOS uniform. If these items were made freely available (as the TOS uniform has), it would not diminish my enjoyment of them in the slightest.
Its far too early. No exclusive should be offered until a year or so has passed. No matter how badly someone wants it, they didn't want it badly enough to do the original way. Myself included! But some people did, and its not fair to them. Next year maybe.
it's funny people are complaining about the galaxy x being game breaking and thats why they hsould have it too this is purely cosmetic and they still complain

No exclusive should be offered in the C- Store currently its to early, I can agree with that for now, but the MU uniforms were labeled " Unique" not exclusive. So based on that fact alone I agree with you!

So you agree the MU shouldn't go on the C-Store then, because those two words are Synonyms of each other.

Nope didn't say that, I agree anything Labeled "EXCLUSIVE" should not go in the C-Store that is all I was affirming, please do not put words in my mouth, thank you.

Exclusives are already handed out. For free! TOS Uniforms anyone? :rolleyes:
That was actually one of my motivations to start this topic, along with several other good reasons.
I read some ideas here to have it as a veteran reward as well, which would be cool with me too. In general I hope that Cryptic will put all exclusives in the C-Store at some point, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Except the TOS uniform was not called an exclusive. Nor was the Joined Trill. Everything else on the DDE was clearly marked Exclusive or Unique but not those two items. It was not even the first way they gave the TOS out. Members of Starfleet got it well ahead of the DDE.
I thought they were exclusive too but before I got angry about it on the forums, I went back and checked and realized I just assumed it was.:
Features
TOS Uniform Set (in-game item): 3 Uniforms from the Original series (blue, red, yellow)
Joined Trill: Play as a Joined Trill. Joined Trill come with a symbiote that grants you several lifetimes of experience. The "Joined" species trait grants you a bonus to 5 skills.
Exclusive "KHAAAN!" Emote (in-game item): An unforgettable moment from the second Star Trek Film. This exclusive emote allows players to relive Kirk's unforgettable moment of fury, with the timeless cry... "KHAAAN!"
Exclusive Klingon Blood Wine Toast Emote (in-game item): Raise a glass like a Klingon! Greet and interact with other players with an exclusive Klingon gesture -the blood wine toast.
Unique Registry Prefix (in-game item): Give your ship the coveted NX prefix, seen only on a handful of elite Starfleet vessels like the Defiant, 22nd century Enterprise, and Prometheus."
Unique Ship Item (in-game item): - Automated Defense Battery. This Tactical Module that grants any ship a passive 360 arc attack power with a short range.
But as I've said repeatedly in other threads, I have no issue with it being a vet reward. Would be a nice thing to add to the currently unlisted 500 day mark.

As long as I can get a chance to play with those uniforms I'm happy with it. Waiting for such a long time does take out some of the fun though... *sighs deeply*
Guess waiting and hoping is the only thing I can do right now. :-/
Well and I can hope more people /sign for it and that Cryptic takes this thread serious haha.
It has come to our attention that people had paid for something we don't have but really want. We would like to have this item now please. We find it offensive that these people think they are so special, just because they forked out $200 for another game that had a bonus tied to this game. Sure, this has been done in the game industry before and is a common promotional gimmick, but we feel that this is actually unfair that these people (and my neighbor for that matter) have things I don't have. Turn back from your evil ways and put all the things people paid for out for free after 500 days.. or even better just drop them on the C-store.
We could just ask for similar if not slightly different versions of the same uniforms the other players have, but that would not satisfy our OCD needs. Instead, please remove the unique/exclusive items from the game and make everybody the same.... just like Soviet Russia. They had it right all along.
Respectfully yours,
Comrade ________________
There ya go.
Just start asking for similar items. Bring some variety into the game. Stop trying to make everybody have all the same junk. The whole darn game will go Vanilla.... aka BLAND this way.
I can see it now.... 100,000 players all running around in free MU uniforms that the 1000 of us who had it from launch actually paid for.
Eh. Lets not be mean. Its completely understandable that people want a way to earn things. And I support that so long as its done in a way that's fair to people who got it the orignal way.
Thats why I like the Vet reward route. If I were told back when I got Champions Lifetime that it would be a 500 day vet reward, I could have weighed time vs. cost and might have come to the same decision. The need to be 'special' wasn't an important part of the offer to me. Only my desire to be a pirate.
But yes I'd like the 'entirely new stuff' on the C-Store even more. There are some nifty Mirror things that were not part of that offer that could be added. I'd love the sleeveless Kirk shirt or the Archer-era uniforms.

It is not an attempt to be mean, but more of a statement of absurdity.
I am not against people getting MU uniforms. I am against them needing to have everything exactly the same as everybody else.
My best friend is EXTREMELY OCD. ... He has to get every achievement and play a game until he has exhausted every option... ever. He still has not finished Grand Theft Auto on the 360 because he has restarted it at every fork.... not kidding.
People should ask for things to be added to the accolade system maybe?
Uniform options for achievements.... that would be more interesting.
But even on the C-store or the 500 day mark, do they have to be carbon copies of the other uniforms? No, they don't. Let's keep SOME things a bit different.
Please keep the discussion out of this thread, I don't want to see another thread being burned down due to a flame war. The pre's and cons were already discussed in another thread and people simply disagree with each other for different reasons. I could easily list a dozen reasons why it would be completely fair to add them in as well.
I'll gladly post and defend those reasons in another topic, should you make one.
If you don't like the idea then feel free to post a /nothankyou reply here which will have the same effect.

graet post i love it and agree completely all these people needing evrything in a game is absurd i don't have the mu i accept i can't get htem instead of whining about it

Then they wouldn't be very exclusive/unique any more would they?
Even WoW has things you can't get any other way...
anybody ever seen a Murlock pet.
It happens.
Now, if they make you a variant of the one given to the lifers of CO that we paid for.. fine. But as long as it is different.
I don't care to see exclusives/unique items becoming commons... defeats the purpose of them being exclusives/unique.
really want those tos mirror universe uniforms lol
That's really my point. I was replying with this post in mind:
I didn't buy the preorder and DD versions because the items were 'exclusive', I bought them because I liked having the option of using both the Borg BOff and the TOS uniform. If these items were made freely available (as the TOS uniform has), it would not diminish my enjoyment of them in the slightest.
Even if they had to design new style MU uniforms...id love some Terran styled uniforms with the ISS ship name and symbols tooo.
yes please
Its far too early. No exclusive should be offered until a year or so has passed. No matter how badly someone wants it, they didn't want it badly enough to do the original way. Myself included! But some people did, and its not fair to them. Next year maybe.

if its free
HOWEVER, I WILL sign a petition to put it up as a vet reward.
If you want an MU uniform posted on the C-Store, then make it a variant or from another series, but don't put the CO LTS uni up for sale.
And, no, I don't own them, so this is coming from someone who wants it, but not for free or cheap.
Exclusives are already handed out. For free! TOS Uniforms anyone? :rolleyes:
