What kinds of stuff do you tend to get from the Z-store?

Sorry if I mess up any of the options, I'm using the tab names in the Z-store for most of the poll choices. For me, it's discount packs followed by ships. :)

    Not Boosts, but in every other Category, I have purchased items.

    Same here. Boosts are a total waste of money, but have I gotten items from all the other categories.

    Biased poll grouping the bridge packs and ships together. I highly suspect the OP is trying to create facts to support pushing for more bridges.

    I am pretty sure everyone playing the game a bit longer has gotten something from every category you listed. I personally have exchanged dil to zen for ships, ship packs, appearance and discount packs in the recent past (like the last three years) and I purchased a Targ pup. Other than that, I got lots of things that were giveaways and such, I got the EC limit back in the day. The only category I am fairly certain I will never use are "services" - none of that is worth even my dil to me, the default BOFF and ship slots are plenty for me, I will never "pay" for respecs like this and I won't rename my characters etc.​​

    As they stated in the OP they are grouping them off the category tabs used in the store itself.​​

    Have bought all but Boosts at some point, but mostly Ships (individual, have only bought one 3-pack); Services (char slots, costume slots, account shared, duty officer slots); Appearance (costumes), and Items (keys).

    Not sure I've ever bought Bridges (can't remember which ones Fed gets for free... did one set ever get given away?)

    I guess I actually have more individual ships, but it's just because some of the ships are completely standalone. If it's possible, I've always bought Fed 3-packs.

      I do exchange my dilithium into zen now, and when the dilithium index goes up again I will sell it again.
      oddly enough I need the dili more then the zen. (basicly I already have all that I wanted, inclusing the outfit looks)

      Whatever category "Storage" fits under. Ship/DOFF/BOFF/Bank/Account bank/Dry Dock slots.

      Those are all located under the "Services" tab.

      Apart from the Mat'Ha (which I bought long before the Delta Ops pack), I've never bought a ship separately if it was available as part of a bundle. In a moment of weakness I bought both the Troi and 7 of 9 outfits when they were on sale, the latter has seen far more use than the former :D

      I think he probably just ran out of space, though I personally would have combined duty officers and personnel instead

      Mostly ships and keys. That being said I wish there were more good ships in the z store instead of lockboxes that are faction specific. Also the store really needs to put emotes and other things in there as well as more outfits while removing outfit categories.

      I mostly buy ships from the C-store, sometimes services like Doff roster expansions or bank slots.

      Cosmetics and aesthetics (outfits, ship skins) would be of interest, if they weren't mostly stuffed in lockboxes these days. I'll buy a thing but I won't gamble for maybe possibly having a chance of getting it, nor will I pay for basic functionality like resetting skills. Boosts simply cost exorbitant amounts for how little good they do.

      Unless I'm mistaken, it's just that the icon shows Zen, aka the currency. (Correct me if I'm wrong and any tooltip actually spells out Z-store somewhere, I doubt it though.) It's like you called any store accepting Bitcoins B-store, or Bitcoin store.
