Just a curiousity question for the remaining pvper's out there. No hidden agenda on this question whatsoever. Me just being curious.
What makes you stay in STO for pvp?
Possible answers:
Too much invested financially in it to leave.
Too much invested time wise to leave it.
Love the way STO is right now.
I believe what the devs are promising will happen.
No other alternate out there.
PvP is only 1 part of the game I enjoy.
Most enjoyable game out there.
Friends in game.
For me it was the friends I made in game that was the last thing that kept me in the game. Previously, in years gone by, it used to be all of the above but sadly, over time each one disappeared apart from the last one and now most of them have gone / going.

And: The wide variety of ships, skills, weapons, doffs etc. that allows for almost countless possible variations. That was always what I loved about STO...
I'm not sure that's why I'm here now. Without being able to do the quick STF runs to grab Borg/MACO/Omega - I'm not taking my rerolls anywhere near PvP. I'm not doing PvE because I enjoy the PvE - I'm doing it because it's a gated grind that I need to do if I want to PvP again somewhere down the line. So, I'm still here with the hopes of doing PvP again...
...or something like that, eh?
Then again, by the time I get anywhere with the grind - who knows - they might actually do something about PvP...
...okay, that was just silly of me - them do something about PvP - lololololo...
...oh well, back to Archer so I can fight next to the Enterprise!
These really. Else I would be playing GW2 way more.
PaxOttomana: gawd mirror event is like fighting a tsi premade, they keep comin and comin!
And I also made friends in this game... people I'd never met otherwise, from other cultures all over the world...
BTW Naz come back to STO we need playas
You wait anywhere from 5-10-15+ minutes. When you get in there, the following is likely:
Your team has an AFKer or AFKers.
Their team has an AFKer or AFKers.
Your team has folks breaking out the cheddar.
Their team has folks breaking out the cheddar.
Both your team and their team has an AFKer or AFKers while the remaining members of both your team and their team have folks breaking out the cheddar.
Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc...
Faint memories of fun matches is not enough to make the gamble, take the risk, in bothering to queue...
Hope that PvP in STO will one day reach it's potential.
The PvE game is just a way to prepare for it.
Awoken Dead
Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
LOLOLOLOLOL are u serious? PVE in this game is a joke, you get mobs that are triple the hull of urs and dont use the skills PvPers use so how is it prepareing for PVP? just think...if they gave the npc's the ability to use our skills at the right time (Better AI) all the PVErs will cry "this game is way too hard" <<< OH wait, they do that now and the AI sucks
$$$ to buy PvP gear
...and of course that lucky purple gear drop.
PvE is so mindnumbing simple it's all about the grind for gear and passives, nothing more.

Because I want to get my Reputation stuff done first.
That and I'm not happy with the way PVP is currently.
Think about this:
American Football has been in open beta for 144 years. ~Kotaku
i want to be the one that people dread running into in PVP. i'm not that guy now, but working towards that goal.
When the itch hits I jump into the game but quickly become bored knowing that not much actually exists PvPwise in it and what does is woefully unbalanced on several levels.
R.I.P
Though this is why I linger (and the lifer sub)
R.I.P
I like shooting or healing stuff with my ships.
I can't completely abandon all of my effort in the game.
I don't have any expectations of any improvement to the gametype.
I only see more lockbox additions and z-store additions.
I've never been a gamer (being a code TRIBBLE has been a lot of fun for me for many years) but the few games I have enjoyed are Fight Night (a local bar used to have tourneys which was a lot of FUN!) and UFC. But only against other players.
Supreme Ruler 2020, SOASE and Supreme commander were somewhat enjoyable as well. Never did any multiplayer with them but wanted to try. However this game came out around the time I picked them up, so STO has been a real time killer for me for almost 3 years!
That said, seeing the general direction and lack of any fixes on THE MOST BASIC stuff is pushing more and more of my friends off this game. We're suppose to be trying to help players get into PVP and the constant QQ is getting more and more frustrating. Just this morning, I was teamed with Qin, and apparently the fact that I team with a friend is EVIL and I guess ... W/E.
I have about 5 friends who regularly queue KDF and I only get on to team with them now. I will say I have had a couple really fun matches against the 110th, a Italian KDF premade, and a couple fairly fun pug matches the last week. That doesn't change the fact that 99% of the matches are MEH!
Otherwise the general state of the game is absolutely appalling, whereas, about two years ago kerrat and pugging arenas was just a absolute blast. Granted it could be frustrating getting a pug group teamed at the start! But still more fun than pugging now.

That was one of the best matches I had all day. Had great pvpers on both sides and was a hard match both teams going back and forth. And what no tric mines no voldi wow hmm so if cryptic fixes this stuff or people don't use it pvp is fun?!
Quit licking your windows cryptic!
- Friends
- Ability to customize builds in highly unique ways
- I still feel like I am learning a lot from the whole PvP experience
- I am a die-hard Star Trek fan and would simply have a hard time putting time into a non-Trek-based MMO.
- I have hope for the future of STO PvP
He lied and decided to lick windows!
As crappy as the state in which PvP is in, I'm not sure if I can bare the thought of lightsabers, goblins, mechs, or rifles on my computer screen.
I like my starships. Always have. Always will.
From what I recollected from the bootcamp conference call was the limited help being provided to us. However, they want us to bring more players into PvP even knowing the current state in which it's in. I don't know if this is going to work, but it's something to do on the side I suppose. I also can't say it will be easy.

That said, I play more EVE now than STO, and doing so is making me appreciate just how broken and neglected things are in STO.
Space: The Final Frontier.
Doffemon (appeals to my obsessive compulsiveness).
I remember how fun PvP and have high hopes for how fun it could be, if...
Alcohol:D and self loathing:(.
It's terrible but easy, and these Borg are way cooler than the mess STO and Voyager left us.
Yeah, it's like if Ford tried to sell you a car, saying...
"yeah, we haven't got the brakes to work, the steering is a bit on and off, and we haven't installed seats yet, but give it a try and if you like it and drive it for a year, we may fix those things!"
Holla!
Even worse, Ford is trying to get it's customers to sell that car...

No other alternate out there. <- This is probably the main reason I'm sticking with STO. For all it's issues, I do like it's SFC inspired space combat. It's also one of the few games available that has a fully fleshed out ground and space combat system.
A majority of other MMOs just don't interest me due to most of them set in medieval fantasy worlds. SWTOR forgets the star wars bit of the Star Wars IP and I have never been interested in dark sith or Jedi outside of Luke and Vader. Eve meanwhile is too much like a second job. The only one that REALLY interested me is Secret Life... But that seems to have gotten mediocre reviews.
I certainly won't play a FPS, totally not my kind of game.
Friends in game. <- I wouldn't call people I meet in an MMO friends, but yeah people I know in game are pretty much the second reason I'm sticking to STO.
