    After seeing all these numbers...I don't feel as guilty as some of those who spent an arm and a leg on this MMO tiger-2.gif​​

    I feel always bad about people that write somethnig like: "Oh, I get paid next week, I can buy the new ship bundle!". Do they really make a good decision there? Shouldn't you wait until you have really spare cash before you make such expenditures, instead of seemingly living pay-check to pay-check?
    In the end, it's their money, but it would probably not something I could do. I need to have a bit of a safety cushion.

    No idea, so I just chose an option randomly.

    Why in the world would anyone "pay", when you can run 10 Dil Slave Alts, and rake in about 85k Zen a year ?

    Some combination of "they don't find that fun" and "they have more money than time".

    I think about $600, including my LTS, over the past two years. Likely won't be any more, though, since they've decided to renege on their Zen reimbursements for Mac users. Pennywise, pound foolish.

    Just curious to see where some of the playerbase stand in terms of spending real money in STO. This is in "$" and just an estimate of where the community is. Please include any C store purchases like Keys, outfits, bank slots and whatever you can recollect.

    Thank you

    IMHO asking this is a violation of privacy you are gathering data on what players spend and keeping the results to yourself for your own purposes. TRENDY PLEASE CLOSE AND BAN THIS QUERY!

    Chill out Dude...POLLs are allowed. If you don't like polls dont read them. Stop whining tiger-2.gif

    IMO polls are the best that keep me coming to forums. I do most of them...also for your own FYI this is a "private" poll and not a public.​​

    @ssbn655

    How, exactly, is the OP keeping the results of a *PUBLIC* poll to himself?

    Besides he used rages and not specific amounts.

    Right at the bottom of his poll This is a private poll and you cannot see the results.

    @ssbn655 false. You *can* see the results, but you *can't* see who voted for which option. You are very confused.

    Asking for data is not a violation of privacy, if one can refuse to answer.

    "Private Poll" means that no one can see who voted for what. That includes the creator of the poll.

    Sorry but lol at anything 1-5k.

    Depends on your income. Some can spend 5K without a second thought. Wish I was one of them! :'(

    Seems like these two responses, "I purposely DO NOT spend ANY money in this MMO" and "I have spent "0".", amount to the same thing.

    ...nada, nil, zippo, nothing if you mean in terms of using real money (and thanks to all who trade real money for fake money to trade for magic money I make via expending time^^)​​

    Using those price brackets I am in the 100-300 range. I also am in that range in Neverwinter. Though with full disclosure I haven't spent anything since 2014. In 2014 Cryptic/PWE did a lot of things that I felt were unfair and devalued my prior purchases among other things that I considered to be unfair business practises. I enjoy their games and I truly appreciate the work they do, but trust has been lost. I know that I can buy thing A and tomorrow they will add thing B and delete thing A. On many occasions I have wanted to support the game more but I still remember the sting of that burn.

    I have a LTS plus I have bought a package or two. However, I would say I have spent more of buying Dilithium for my Starbase Projects than anything else. Wish I would of joined a larger KDF fleet back in the day. However, like a Blue Meth junkie, I have spent a whole lot more on a game that doesn't really exist yet - Star Citizen. High Admiral (plus) over there.

    Over a few years, small amounts of Zen purchases add up to a very large number, indeed!

    That kirk gif you have there is hilarious to me. I wonder if old Shat even had any acting school at all? I know he was in old black and white movies before TOS. I'm wondering if it was just the "Good Old Boy" system that got him his spot as Kirk?​​

    No, Jack Lord (Hawii-Five-O) had the role as Kirk, but he got greedy (he wanted a percentage and Ricky sent him packing). Image if Jack Lord wasn't so greedy - "Book'em Spock!" On the flip side, if Shatner had gotten Hawii-Five-O, it would of been "Book Him Dan NO!"

    Around $500 in total (I've been playing since 2013).
    One day Cryptic will be free from their Perfect World overlord. Until that day comes, they will continue to pamper the whales of this game, and ignore everyone that isn't a whale.

    Having been playing it since day 1 - the DVD was bought for me as a present. Including my LTS have spent between $500 to $1000, (or the equivalent in £'s Stirling), which over 6 years is really nothing. If my small contribution to buying Zen now and again keeps the game going then it is money well spent IMO.
    Might have been playing for 6 years but still am unsure that I play it the way it should be played - but the way I do play it suits me.
    As for how much anyone does spend it is interesting to read how much people do/don't pay to play the game.
