Yeah, people can post and browse, but the problem is that once you post something, 99% of the time your item won't be viewed by others when they browse the exchange That's why the prices of all items are ridiculous right now.
Fix the exchange so you can TAKE MY MONEY!
EDIT: Apparently it's only if you search for "All" that the Exchange is broken. If I search for "Contraband" in all, only a few highly priced ones will show up, but if I select the "Commodities" option then search for "Contraband", it'll show all available items. It's annoying not being able to search ALL, but instead having to go to each category, but it's a workaround until it gets fixed.

I EARNED 1000 days...I didn't BUY it! New LTS=Death to Vet.System: 10/10/12 Never Forget
Something should be done for those who cared enough to have a 1000+ day sub.
Anyone know the payout percentage on the consoles ?

Sadly, my investigation did not go every well!
The first item I purchase is the weapon.
And the first time I did so, it wasn't a great deal of lobi, I had it within 4-5 boxes.
But this time, the price is not acceptable!
15 for the Ferengi Whip, 50 for the Tholian Sword!
That's over 3 times as much!
I was also considering getting the Tholian Silk Scarf, but the price is 100.
That was when I snapped the Lobi vendor's spine in half, then left the mess for someone else to clean up.
If you're so interested in making money, why not sell us the Lobi crystals direct?
This random loot stuff got old fast long before the lockboxes came out and introducing it as paid content isn't going to make me any more interested in STO.

Did you take into account that you get -at a minimum- 4 lobi in these boxes compared to just 1 in the Ferengi boxes?
Although I had a moment of doubt when Cryptic announced that there wasn't going to be a Tholian Lock Box. But I'm glad to see they were lying through their teeth.
Cryptic did learn a lot, but they can only do so much with orders. What they did with this version is give more good rewards, and less junk. It's not much of an improvement, but it's an improvement nonetheless.
And may I remind you, the ones who make lockboxes and those who fix issues in code are not the same people...
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.

I did, looked pretty cool so I spent the 125 zen (I'd bought with hard earned dilithium) on a key and whoopee I received a standard duty officer pack and 4 lobi crystals.
What's the point? Seriously disappointed. I have too many duty officers already and I can get them for nothing pretty easily.
I wasn't expecting the best stuff, I know it's a chance, but at least something I can't get without any effort already would have been nice!
Why mix rubbish in with the good stuff listed?
Honestly, I'd been in 2 minds whether or not to become a paying player. This nonsense has made my mind up for me.

Well why don't we just cut to the chase and never refer to Cryptic ever again? I'm dead serious - not being facetious.
"There is no Cryptic, only Zu... er... PWE!"
And yeah - Prioritizing more lockbox TRIBBLE over fixing the foundry and exchange?
(SARC) SHOCK!!! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WOULD HAPPEN!! (/SARC)
I'm not a paying customer since January and that's not going to change for the foreseeable future. And nothing surprises me when it comes to PWE anymore. There's no lowest level they won't sink to.
Who'd have EVER thought I'd be missing Atari! :mad:
Yes, I did take that into account.
On average, the Ferengi lockboxes yielded around 3-4 crystals each.
So nothing changes and my statement stands.

As for comparing 4 lobi to 1, didn't they say that was a mistake? Or was that just spin.
I certainly hope all this lockbox money is going to put some more servers in to releave the bottlenecks at ESD and DS9.
I never saw this. Can you post a link, please?

I actually avoid success entirely. It doesn't get me what I want, and the consequences for failure are slim. -- markhawman
The issue here is many are knee-jerk blaming Cryptic for a lot of their issues... with little-to-no consideration/thought that PWE is behind some of them.
I'm simply trying to help shift some of that blame onto PWE, because they are responible for some of the issues. And that way, Cryptic doesn't get as much needless/inaccurate blaming.
It's not much help, but it's better than nothing.

With as few as possible invested generate as much as you can.
So, if you don't like Boxes, don't buy keys, don't be dissappointed.
Or jump on the waggon:
Keys raised in price on the exchange within 2 hours from 1.2mio over 2mio each.
Boxes (bought for 200 Dilithium each) sold for 250K each after patch, 2 hours later still 120K each.
Current prices:
Keys - 1.7 Mio each
Boxes - 43K each
Still best buck per dilithium atm.
The rewards of the Tholian box looks better, with ships, with all shine stuff and everything. I opened two or three and find some nice items
But the Lobi store can be better. I have enough lobi cristals to buy something better, but I can't because all Lobi are around with six or seven toons. If you place this worse toon-bounded lobi cristal in each box, is better to replace with fleet marks. At least, we have a better use.

Lock Boxes ...? If i knew that as i started my Lifetimeaccount Aeons ago i wouldnt have started to play the game.
Now i sell my account, **** you PW and everybody working for you criminal TRIBBLE!
1 zen=1 lobi.
Would make acquiring those items a lot more practical then buying keys and opening box after box.

GOLD and lock box dont work together. Thats right. People which pay montly feeds feel more worse.
how can you feel more worse...it's just worse
They have stoped to pay and have nothing.
He just means that he feels much more badderer than before.
