Cryptic STO and you what to expect

Hostility and Cryptic go hand in hand, like a happily married couple. I am a hostile customer and player. I have nothing better to do right now as my account is suspended what appears to be 24 hours for incorrect password too many times. This is my evalution of the game so far after a couple months playing it.
1. Customer support is nonexistent...almost...if it takes you days to respond to what is your favorite color, you may need to find a institution that will help you with your mental disorder. Yes, I'm talking to Cryptics customer support, worst I've seen in a mmo unless you count Facebook...Seriously, your customer support shouldn't be compared to FACEBOOK GAMES!
2. Extraordinary high cost of playing, the game is pay to win, not play to win. Nothing more to be said.
3. Season 7 showing signs to make it even more pay to win, seriously they need to work on toning it down a lot. There are a lot more issues I haven't explored yet with season 7, just gonna wait till it goes live.
4. Subscribers still have extremely and unavoidable cost to playing the game as it should be played. Fleet ships still cost you over 20 bucks if you want one a long with the massive amounts of time and cost to get to that star base tier level.
5. Adding new features when old ones still have major issues. I have a serious problem when updates occur yet for months or longer we all got stuck on loading earths spacedock or ds9 at 96 and can stay there indefinitely or once i waited 20 minutes.
6. In game process of meeting multiple requirements such as with fleet ships, you need fleet credits, dilithium, AND zen to buy ship modules. Seriously, who comes up with this manure.
7. Doffs should be made easier to get not harder, when common doffs are more valuable than uncommon should be a good sign something isn't right. Perhaps patrol missions should reward you with doffs, I do not know or care to make a suggestion how it should be done.
8. Extreme unbalanced PVP that was rated the worst in MMO's several years ago when it first was release, yet nothing was ever done cause they can't squeeze any money out of you for making changes. Typical arena results with klingons is 15 to 1, there's a a reason for that and it's not because feds simply suck. First of all, cloaks already give an advantage, they don't need additional 15% damage bonus in pvp, isn't decloaking behind your target good enough or cloaking to escape your well deserved death?
9. Excessive worthless lock box drops, seriously I don't need hundreds of these things as I will never spend real money unlocking a ton of em. This game has good features, but not that good. Everyone do yourself a favor and DO NOT contribute to their money monster. There are some who have spent hundreds on keys alone for this game. If this was a good game why does cyptic make it so expensive to play all their features in it?
10. Cryptic, the new definition for greed and 18th century business practices and just not giving a hoot for YOU. As far as they are concerned, you can give em all your money and hit the road. Oh, and don't expect any customer support it doesn't exist. Also, go ahead play tribble to see what new money scams they are running. I am a old player who played a lot of different mmo's and this one has made me more hostile more unsatisfied and more alienated than any other game. The worst part is, there's nothing wrong with the game itself, it's how they run it.
P.S. Never fall asleep on your keyboard, or you'll have nothing better to do but make posts on the forums after account suspension from your hand resting on the enter key for 24 hours it seems for incorrect password. I'll have to edit this if it's longer....

Congratulations on starting (yet another) Fed/KDF forum war...
and if other forum posts are anything to go by this is a sure way to get your forum account suspended/banned...
Other than these two though you make some very valid points
No he doesn't. Just look at number 4 & 6
No mention of the fact that you can acquire those fleet ship modules with Energy credits if you don't want to pay zen or dilithium.
Ship modules cost dilithium OR zen. Or EC if you're willing to go to the Exchange. And they most certainly DO NOT cost fleet credits (though it does take 20k to get a fleet ship. But that's easy to get.)
Edit: Oh, and I forgot. Point 7 is invalid as the issue isn't in GETTING doffs but rather in how much they're needed. And I expect the costs to degrade considerably with S7's arrival. DESPITE the new dilithium prices.
You see, the problem right now is that they're focused on rare specializations. Now it's going to be focused on the departments (tactical, security, etc.). As a result, the odds of getting the right thing from ANY doff recruitment method have increased significantly. Even more so since you can get purples from star cluster supports and downgrade them all the way to white.
Infinite possibilities have implications that could not be completely understood if you turned this entire universe into a giant supercomputer.
That about sums it up.
My second largest complaint is with story based content. There is a huge lack of it but things like STF's, fleet actions, and some casual PvP have kept me playing. Stripping away the rewards for these things in Season 7 to try and force people to grind for less story dialog than you get in a Dev Blog isn't what I call fun! New Romulus is a beautiful map like Bajor that goes to waste due to the bland and boring content attacted to them.
The hardest part in trying to address these issues is finding a way to state them in a way that doesn't come off insulting to the Dev team. They are... very sensitive about the lack of effort that I see put into this game. Instead of bickering about it, I'd like to see the team step up, acknowledge the bugs that irritate the playerbase the most, and actually get them fixed in a reasonable amount of time, especially when it comes to C-Store items that players have paid for or worked very hard at grinding to aquire. The C-Store content should be the best looking, least buggy, and best premium accents to the game without them beign over-powers to the point where they are nerfed weeks later after they launch.
all ready got and hair starting to go gray too
Then why do it? Surely there are other things to do that make you not have ulcers!!
Like play EVE Online?
Man, I want my time back reading this thread :P
