You're LTS, you probably have the Zen (from that built-up stipend) just lying around to purchase every last one of those ships (if you haven't already), but by your own choice you stopped playing, and missed out on something intended to reward people who are playing - and you expect us to feel sorry for you now??

You should have enough of a stipend to play through the Romulan story arc and get some nice new Romulan ships. Hopefully that makes you feel good.
to be honest you didnt miss much..
they gave away some of the lower level ships.. the shuttle and one ship that is ok but not great that you can use at level 50.. but probably wont..

This +1.
You snooze you lose man. LTS is not an instant gimme button. You have to keep up with the race or you fall behind. It's really simple. I'm LTS but I check the forums daily even if I'm not playing daily just to keep an idea of what is going on. LTS already have a lot of perks that have paid off and continue to do so. Getting a free ship in game that people had to earn just because you're LTS is not something that should be a thing. Ever.
You have to read the promotional emails, and just check on the game (log in for a few moments and read), or check the website once a week.
Used to be, I would log in for an hour or two to do dailies, but I've stopped even doing that. I just do a defend the starbase mission or two for my fleet a day, if that. As I'm losing interest in the game at warp speed. It may come (once my fleet as everything maxed which is soon.), that I won't bother to log in unless some new 'event' happens. In fact, it will come to that.
But I'll still have access to any information about this game and if something happens I'll know about it, and then it's my own choice and my own fault if I do it or not. Every action or in-action has a consequence. Applies to even games. And we're all free to just say, 'Frak it', and leave the game completely, if we get tired of having to keep up with the events, and/or grind. Or move on to another game, that we actually do want to play more of.
Anywho, I missed out on three events myself. (the TNG anniversary , the Breen ship give away and Christmas of 2012.) Only person to blame is myself, but I've gotten over it. In the end, it doesn't matter. At nearly four years, I reckon we know the game is not what some thought. :rolleyes:
But eh.
I see no crying or cursing. I see a bummed out player.
....how is that ridiculous?
He.... didn't... blame... the company....?
Care to tell me where he did that? Oh wise one?
Free players get those too.
Anyway On topic.. i do not see a reason to stop the patch download, yeah feel bummed you missed something but that is not a reason to not check to see how the game is doing. I've missed many things in my life and its always "that sucks" then continue with what I was doing, makes life far less stressfull and far more enjoyable.

It helps to think of these things as 'sales' or 'free samples'. Nobody expects a sale item or a free sample to be available indefinitely. Sales and promotions end, prices go back to normal.
Nothing in the LTS ever lists "get all free items instantly" as a benefit. And it never will. I'm sure some folks are still stewing over the "get all Veteran Benefits instantly" thing.
Playing DA, I can understand why disappointment might temporarily sour somebody on playing right that moment. Play or don't play, that's cool. They got the money for the sub and they're not counting on players who only log in once in a blue moon to contribute much, if anything, to their bottom line.
I'm always a little bummed when I can't take advantage of a sale, but the game goes on. End of, really.

It's your responsibility to keep up with what's going on in the game. You didn't, you missed out on a freebie give away. Tough ****. It happens. It's not up to Cryptic to "convince you" or "persuade you" to play. You either want to play or you don't.
If you want to play, you keep up with what's going on, if you don't want to play, don't keep up with what's going on.
Either way, the onus is NOT on cryptic, it's on you. You stayed away for awhile, missed something you later decided you wanted, and now you wanna whine about it.
Oh well. If you want to pull and internet rage quit, fine. Quit talking and leave. I promise neither the rest of the players, nor cryptic will notice, or care.
"There... are... four... lights!" ~Jean Luc Picard
The idea is that Cryptic wants to give people a fun reason to log on at no risk, because the game is free to play, and keep playing because they're invested in the game and will want to buy stuff to keep the lights on.
Keys are one of those things keeping the lights on. They're not giving those away. If you want a key, you could take some of that Zen stipend you built up while you weren't playing and buy keys with it. Your stipend will get you 4 keys per month, in fact.
And if you got online and played more often, you could earn Dilithium for free which you can trade for more free Zen.
And again, the rest of us get emails from PWE every time they want to sell us something and we see the latest promotions as soon as we log in. You didn't have to miss anything.
If you're already not invested in the game enough to want to keep playing it more often than every few months, giving you a free zero-effort key every now and then isn't going to buy your time or convince you to spend more money than you already have spent.
Don't want to play? Sorry, your loss. You're missing out on more than just a few freebies.
That said, I think this thread has run its course. This is practically an 'I quit' thread and we don't allow those. If I let it go on, it's likely to result in flaming and trolling.
Best of luck and I hope you find the motivation you need to come back and play.
Live Long and Prosper,
