Dear Cryptic,
Through the last 13 months that I have played this game, I have never posted on the forums nor complained about any changes that you have made to the game. However, after today I am compelled to not only post but to tender my resignation to the game. You guys have done a great job in putting together a game that was rushed out the door and I commend you for that. Yet, to speak bluntly, once you reach VA the game is pretty much done besides PVP. Yes, I know there are 4 STFs that can be run and run again but people desire a new challenge so they look to PVP.
I particularly enjoy PVP and have leveled 3 toons so I can play each aspect of the game. With your addition on the cloaking tractor mines today you have wiped all the joy and fun out of even playing the game. Yes I know there are counters to tractor beams but they do not suffice in a virtual minefield of them. I simply ask you whats the fun in flying if you can not move? I invite any of your Developers to enter a match and see how much fun they have. I do not disparage the users of mines because they are simply using the tools that the game has provided them.
In summation I am tendering my resignation to STO and also asking anyone who feels the same to follow. There are many games out there, Rift has already claimed a lot of STO players, in a time when the economy is weak and money is tight it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of a product that consumers what to spend their money on. This squarely falls on your shoulders cryptic, the choice is yours. I will be asking everyone that I can contact to also cancel their accounts and move on. I give you one week to implement changes or you loose my business
Negotiation rule #1: Do not give people ultimatums.
That said, you do know there are skills you can use to break out of holds, right? The strong adapt; the weak quit.
And nothing to do after VA? How did you get those mines? Did you play an episode that they just busted TRIBBLE to get to us, along with other episodes. These mines are that big of a deal breaker? Man, go read a book or something and cool off.
On second thought I'm just going to follow my own advice and steer clear of this whole debate. Internet fights don't accomplish anything worthwhile, and I'm sure the devs will hear feedback and do what they see fit. It's not the end of the world, people.

Seriously? Yes I know there are skills, but what their cooldown? How many mines are you facing? Have you even PVPed tonight? Yes you can be free of mines with omega and polarize hull but that only lasts for 30 sec each, if a team is mine spamming you are stuck until your cooldowns are over. I PVPed tonight...most of the games were spent with one team stuck shooting at the other team that was stuck.

If you want to wait for a new episode to be featured then that's fine. I'm am talking to the people that play this game daily.
Sounds to me the issue isn't so much the mines as very little endgame outside of PvP, yes? I mean if there was you wouldn't be complaining about the mines because you would be doing PvE and be loving the mines.

I do play this game daily and have to say that and just had to lol about your what a threat i guess you can call it. there are counters to the new flavor of the month and if you adapt and over come I am sure you will figure it out. but the i quit posts are funny I have to say.

True but you are talking about big changes vs small changes. If there was more end game content it would be a smalller issue. However, there isn't and thus my issue.

OP, you really should edit out the i quit part of your post, although, if your leaving anyway an infraction wont bother you much
I have almost 80 days of game time played on my 5 toons. Thats around 2000 hours, in just over 300 days, most of it spent in pvp. I love this game. I'm in it for the challange of playing against intelligent human beings. I guess to some that makes me a "bottom feeder". Fine, whatever,
This series reward will end any hope of attracting new players to the pvp community. It was hard to start PVPing before, trying to learn PVP against groups spamming these mines will make it even harder.

Double whammy.

Gald I could amuse you.
It is merely named petition...I am not asking anyone to vote. It is like any other thread, stating an opinion.
any Thread with that name is violation of Forum Rules.
