I know that cryptic needs the money and they can't just give away stuff, but those of us devoted to Star Trek Online who were there from day 1 and still playing the game devoted to our chars our ships etc etc...
Are we getting anything extra from PWE or Cryptic a little token of appreciation that we are still here after 4 years, not only the LTS players but also the free players or those putting in the monthly stipment.
They can easily check out who is there from day one who is still playing or at least log in from time to time.
So not only a little thank you but something we can use ingame would be nice I know there not many of us left and I know Cryptic is devoted to get new Players and thanks to some off us inviting people over in trying STO they get new players right, so little thanks in giving something ingame would be nice to those who are still playing the game.
Are you a long term player and you feel the same let it know down here.... and please NO ranting !!!

First off all I'm not ranting (I wrote one sentence, that's not ranting). Second a supermarket is a bussiness, since they sell goods and services in exchange for money (Cryptic just sell goods and services of a different kind). And? Cryptic do give you free stuff, during events anniversaries and give aways. Is that not enough? Is 1000 day vet rewards not enough? Or the fact you can play this game without spending aa penny if you don't want to? I'm not BS i'm trying to understand why you feel that you should have more

you said no ranting but your the one ranting no one is joining your hate train.... you should see to that.
your a number I'm a number, that pretty redhead women everyone thinks is a G.I.R.L. is a number. cope like the rest of the grown ups do.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
It's the same with people who claim on the forums they spend thousands of dollars (!) for this game and think this would entitle them to anything. It just means they can buy the stuff a little bit earlier than others, it doesn't entitle them to anything. The only thing that lets them stand out is that they could be blamed supporting a dead-end and counterproductive business model, but let's not get there

in a way you have already been given something, you have been given the pleasure of playing all this time and experiencing the changes that the game has gone through to get where it is today, you just cant put a price tag on that and as a player of only 3 years I envy you.
still I suppose it would not hurt to give you a little something extra for your dedication, *HAY CRYPTIC* are you listening ?, give this player the complimentary title of 'hopelessly devoted'.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
I call it, the Stoutes paradox.
Really? I get reward points so I can get free stuff from my local supermarket.........
As for this game, anyone would be an idiot if they said they didn't want extra free stuff..... but do I think we should we should expect it or are entitled to it? Nope.
Yes but thay don't just give you free stuff, you have to spend money to get the points etc...
My point was the OP feels he should be entitlled to more, just because he has everything already and everyone else doesn't and going around 'demanding' more depite what he already has isen't the right way to go about things.
if someone gives me free toast I don't ask 'well where's the jam?'
If someone gives me something free I'm very grateful.

Long term players have no part in PWE's business plan for the game beyond being background noise for their real target audience: "the new player who comes into the game, buys everything they want and then stops playing in 4 months."
Honestly, you are not on their radar.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to leave them in the designated cart stations...

I'll bet they gave you a card to use every time you shop there. They're tracking everything you buy--so the 'stuff' isn't free. You're paying for it with compromised privacy and allowing them to use you to develop marketing strategies.
Got punctuation?
Based on your example, I think you can expect to get some sort of STO perk eight years from now.
As another reply points out, a supermarket is a business. Honestly, if you don't know a supermarket is a business then I don't think you have much of a basis for carrying on a rational conversation about this.
Finally, asking for no ranting and then posting what I quoted above is...contradictory. That, sir, is a rant.
I've gotten gas at RaceTrac for a decade and they give me free two-liter fountain sodas whenever I go there now regardless of whether or not I am making a purchasing at the time. I'm just sayin'...
an entitlement claim is a rant, i thought you wanted no ranting?
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
You've hit the nail squarely on head with this post. And less we forget the veteran rewards only run up to 1000 days.
Aren't you the guy that was begging for T6 ships? Well here they are genius
So it's his fault!?!
:mad:

so wait a super market is not a business? you are silly.
As for the freebies well guess what Here is your Freebie DELTA RISING 18 monthe of new and FREE content coming right up!
*best russian voice* In Soviet Union you get One ship..a miranda...you will fly it and like it or it's off to the gulag with you!
simple fact is that companies rarely if ever give discounts or goodies to long term customers.
have you ever gotten a loyalty discount because you stayed with brand TRIBBLE internet? sure you might see a loyalty discount from a car dealer but 99% of the time they won't apply it to anything but the MSRP.
yes it would be nice for another veteran reward but they are not obligated to do so. and as said earlier, at least we don'r have to unlock stupid stuff. if this was LOTRO, we would ahve to pay to unlock transwarp or quantum slipstream.
what he posted was not a rant, it was a logical rebuttal. if you consider posting a point of view other than your own as a rant, then this thread was a fail from the start
No, no. You want a UnicROn ship. Those are different than UnicORn ships. *nod-nod*
