SHIP PRICE RANGES

i think it would be a good idea to have very rare ship price ranges on exchange so that even free to play players can get them instead of having to play for 2-3 years just to get a rare ship and by the time they do have enough to get a rare ship its then out of date so then they have to start all over again now i know this will infuryate coiners and lifers with this idea but you have a core group of players who can not and will not evea get anywhere near to owning a very rare ship because of exchange prices which are just pureley stuped the highest being 1 billon energy credits does no one else think that these prices are crazy and need to be sorted asap and yes comon haters i know you all say its player controled but mybey that needs to end too because like i said there is some players who will never be able to offord the stuped prices on exchange or at least put in easyer ways to make energy creds with more better loot drops than there is why wud a level 60 need mk XII equpment which they make next to nothing off when they sell it

    Try to use some punctuation next time. It will help to get your point across. As it stands, I can't tell exactly what you mean in your run on sentence. Do you want fixed ship pricing on the exchange? What do you mean by "price ranges?" If you mean that players should be "nice" and lower their prices for noobs, people like me will come along and scoop them up and sell them for a higher price. So what exactly do you want?

    Stop crying...

    There won't be limits or taxes on the exchange... Want the ships? Work for them... And NO... it dosen't take 2-3 years to earn the EC for it... That's just you being lazy.

    Also Paragraphs, commas and periods.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    Actually I'm happy to point out the flaws in other people's complaints. So your post doesn't make any sense.

    If you are not paying any money, you need to grind for $30 ships. That's life. The people paying $30 are the ones who are paying for the servers and the staff salaries, so they get their ships sooner.

    Also, it should not take you anywhere near a year to earn a lock box or lobi ship, many of them are 100 -130 million EC on the exchange.

    Each of your characters can grind and refine 24,000 dil every 3 days. Convert to zen and in 3 months (with only 1 character) you can get any C-Store ship.

    For lock box and lobi ships: Buy lock box keys and sell them on the exchange. in less than 3 months (with just 1 character) you'll have a lock box or lobi ship. Faster if you are playing the game and getting loot that can be sold for EC.

    OP, let me kill your argument:

    These Promos are designed to entice players to spend money in the game. if a free to play player is unwilling to spend money on the game, and create the pylons needed to create a vast sum of in-game wealth, they are not entitled to purchase these ultra rare ships at a faction of the cost it took to obtain them.

    One other thing, the max an item can be placed on the exchange is 500 mil EC, not 1 billion EC.

    Lastly, if you want true end game gear that can sell for large sums on the exchange, you need to upgrade the equipment prior to selling it on the exchange.

    I highly suggest you join a fleet and an armada so you gain the much needed insight on how to earn EC in game.

    I'd say not only have you killed the argument but probably buried in lime as well. But why should people actually figure things out, when they can complain on the forums or expect everything handed to them on a plate. From a personal perspective, if a player is willing to spend a little time learning about the game, then your right it's fairly easy to make EC in this game. All it takes is a little time.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    Unfortunately that's not entirely true. There is a 500 million EC limit on the exchange. Of course, this only means that items worth more than that simply aren't sold on the exchange at all.

    You can, technically still post items beyond that though... They just aren't shown in results.

    If ships COULD be posted for a billion...people would pay it! Cryptic would get people spending money on Zen, to earn the EC to spend that much. It's an opportunity missed.

    Maybe he's saving his punctuation up so he can afford an &.

    Player driven market. The very definition of supply and demand (demand with added childrenlike "I want want want"). No point in regulating this.

    Besides, EC are easy to come by.​​

    Ship prices can be pretty steep for a lot of people. I think, though, the solution isn't to punish sellers, but to educate the bulk of the players on how to make vastly more EC than they typically make.

    It's a matter of perspective, really. I'm poor and even I know that.

    Plenty of other ways to facilitate the sale of rare goods without the exchange and many people are going that route.
