    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    Please look past the previous post.
    This was made by one I thought could handle a civilized talk and was just made aware of this last night.
    The individual will experience pain and will never gain access to my account again. (what he really didn't have permission to in the first place -.-)

    I'm sorry for the behavior on my account.

    F you world. USA, USA, USA.

    How about not give special ingame items to that little exclusive club and tell the rest of us to F off?

    How about getting your facts straight? First off, they give these rewards to multiple conventions. I got the reward for a convention in London last year.

    Second, up you are allowed to visit the USA. Many people from outside the USA go to the Vegas one each year for example. It's not just for Americans.

    They can't help it if the convention just happens to be in their country. They don't get to decide where they are held.

    They had a ST Con in June in Boston, and they're having another one next year. There's also one in New Jersey, and Chicago...not quite East Coast.

    just to be perfectly clear,no volunteer forum mod and afaik no developer has the power to ban/ mute anyone. That is at the discretion of a pwe community manager. As to the upset player, I'm sure the devs would love to be able to go to conventions in other counties but there are a lot of limitations in this. Not just money but passports, family etc. as others have posted, the holo leeta conventiom reward is given at almost all conventions so you have plenty of chances to grab one. Even some podcasts and radio stations give some out to those that couldn't attend :)

    Now be honest, you're not entirely shocked that some Trek fans seem to have a very high degree of self entitlement. :)

    Sorry, shouldn't have gone off like that, just surprised.
    We live/work 30 minutes from this convention. It should surprise no one that we are going to be there.
    I understand the frustration that we don't attend conventions around the world, but we pay our way to any we attend, so just as you don't want to pay to fly to California just to attend a Con, we don't want to pay to fly to Oslo to attend a Con. We'd love to go, but there are other factors.
    As mentioned, there are ways of getting Holo Leeta, even we we are not in attendance.

    Well, it looks as if everybody who responded to your response agrees that the post you replied to was pretty much over the top. Including me. :D

    WHERE: Outside the entrance to the Cascades Lounge, Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport (location of the Con; hotel staff can direct you if you get lost)
