What Happened To Dilithium Being Our One Currency, Stahl?

Back when we had all those different marks converted to dilithium, DStahl said that this new dilithium would be our one true currency we'd need in the game. A few months later, we get lobi, Omega, and Romulan now. We get fleet marks and fleet credits.
It's like we're going back in time without using the slingshot method. Heck, we can't even style with a DeLorean doing it.

Did you believe him?

If we only had Dilithium as a currency then the game would be P2W and no one wants that. I could spend my monthly stipend score 78000 dilthium each month and own the poor silver players who would need to grind for 9+ days to keep up with what I get for free.
I know what your thinking: "But Kingdox I'm an LTS you wouldn't pwn me....."
Notice there are people who spend 100+ bucks to get one lock box ship? Imagine if they spent all that cash on Dilithium. Do you think you would have any hope keeping up with them if EVERYTHING in the game could be purchased with dilithium?
Say the 8000 refining cap is still in place. I'd bet you'd get a LOT less than 78000 with your stipend.
ummm where wher you per season 5 its was all over this forums

I am specifically going by how things have changed in DStahl's stance apparently from the day dilithium was brought into the game. It wasn't here at launch. It replaced a few marks we had. Now we're going back to the multiple currencies method we had back then.
So it's just a flip flop I'm addressing.

Not sure where my math is off:
500 Zen Stipend * 157 Dil (basic market price) = 78500.
And the Dil you get from Zen is already refined. You don't have to re-refine it, so the 8000 Dil cap is moot.
Quoted for truth.
While a lot of currencies can be complicated and bizarre, having multiple currencies is to prevent bored rich players from using the "I win" credit card. They have to do this. Particularly since this is no longer a Pay to Play game.
And that's a decision I am okay with.
What I am not okay with, is that all currencies are not worth earning. Multiple currencies are fine, it's just when they are not created equally, then we start to have problems.
This is true as well.
500 Zen * 50 Dil (adjusted market price) = 25000
explanation: People will want more Zen for their Dil as its worth more. Unless Cryptic sells Dill directly...
It was said all over the place in these forums when dilithium was bring brought in. And the site. Now I am not going to search through millions of posts under a fake user name "Archived Post" to find it. If this was the old forums we could search by his name. But alas, we can't. If you don't remember it or didn't see the many times it was said, then sorry about your luck.

But jkstocbr is correct. Dil was introduced to REDUCE the number of currencies not to compress everything into 1 currency.

What world do you live in that 50 Dil gets you 1 Zen? Even if the Dil market does take a hit from the changes. The STF changes aren't going to be as bad as originally projected. And trust me folks so far have found ways to make Dil in season 7.
If you're going to get mad every time a business makes change in their original decision you're going to have crappy life. Dan doesn't own STO, PWE does. Business back track and "readjust" all the time. Its like Apple telling the Beatles they won't get into the music industry. Business changes their mind about stuff all the time. So try to not be so mad about it.
then like he asked of the OP i ask the same of him link plz
system Lord Baal is dead
then tell that to all the QQers crying there dill was takeing away

Everything else is to distract the players so they will enter their credit card info...
No Star Trek Series went past Season 7.
Will Star Trek Online survive Season 7?
This we can't deny.

I like this quote: "I have told the team that it?s better to be quiet than to post answers that turn out to be different from what we actually end up doing. Misinformation can be worse than silence in some cases."

Everything at endgame is now tied to dilithium.
where can I get this rates please?
I thought they removed the dilithium requirments from the reputation systems. Even then its again it tied to Dilithium, you still need Fleet marks or some other currency to get end game gear. You just can't buy with with ONLY dilithum.
Stahl left not too much before S5. So he was around for the build up. You linked that clown D'Angelo who only served the purpose that showed us how much Stahl actually wasn't that bad. As a matter of fact, S5 was released not long after Stahl left.
But link 1, what was the point? That was about the conversion process.
Link 2 helps me actually even though it's a different person saying something else. But mentions how the game will now only have 2 currencies of EC and dilithium. So now we're going back towards pre-S5. Thanks for posting that.

1000 times this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
i now know 3 flip floper
system Lord Baal is dead
Just a ruse to explain why they were doing away with marks and emblems and what ever else got combined so they could redo the system into something that they could better manipulate to their advantage.
-Rule of Acquisition #113: Always have sex with the boss.
-I am one of the many victims from the hijacked Caspian Division.
I will not let the childish acts of a criminal ruin this game for me.
-The actions of Cryptic, on the other hand......
"One Currency to Rule them all" is a myth. If it was actually true then the Dil conversion would have given everyone EC and dil would never have been part of the game at all.

If I said D'Angelo made the comment then sure. But as said many times, it was DStahl. I even remember him saying it on a podcast that I am trying to hunt down prior to his leaving. And the second did say they were going to the 2 currency of EC and Dilithium by D'Angelo. But again, we're not talking about what D'Angelo said because he's not EP anymore. And glad he's not because he was the bottom of the three this game has had. Now if you want to make a thread about that hack, go for it. This thread is about Stahl the former at the time he made the comments about the then upcoming conversion and current EP. Nice trying to deflect this into a thread about that hack D'Angelo.
