Salvaging massive amounts of stuff is a grind, yes. If it were as easy to salvage large amounts of stuff as it is to use the replicator's recycle tab, a lot of folks would have far more salvage at this point than they'll ever use.
Total tribbles bred, looted or purchased total 18.3m. Total tribbles removed total 17.7m. The difference between 18.3m and 17.7m matches the advertised surplus of 614k. Number of tribbles created this year is wrong, it's counting the same tribbles twice.
Moreover, there are a good number of players who utilize this strategy as a form of day-trading; they buy stacks of keys and immediately relist them as singles at a slightly increased price. Overall, it's not a terrible grind, it can pay much better than many other grinds people do every day (farming vendortrash, tour,…
A vast majority of folks who use the exchange do not change the price sorting option from the default setting of "Sort by Price". Since the lowest price of a single key is lower than the overall price of the stacks, the default "Sort by Price" setting causes single keys to appear higher up on the search results than the…
There is little sense trying to be reasonable when the argument is literally, "if you or I believe it to be valuable, its value is self-evident." Their argument is any quality considered of value at all is good enough to make it worth whatever it may cost to obtain, quantification is totally irrelevant in this type of…
If you're grinding for zens and your grind is paying out less than 100 zen/hr, you should probably find a better grind. Characterizing all grinds as paying out such low amounts is like characterizing all businesses as failing.
I'd like to hear more about how it would be good for the game for (non-lockbox) doffs to be worth something again, why they're not worth something, and more about what happened. Please also tell me more about how they're garbage you can barely manage to give away, and why you can barely manage to give them away.
STO will run on tablets running Windows 10. To get an idea of how off the table Tablet support seems to be, clicking buttons on the UI via a touch interface is currently a very tricky process. First you need to tap on the button you want to press in order to get the game to register focus on it, then you need to tap and…
There are a good number of folks who would single-handedly convert the entire game's supply of sensibly priced green, blue and purple DOFFs into fleet project inputs. The only reason they aren't doing it on that scale right now is because of the timegate regulation. While I would personally benefit far more than most…
With the way so many folks seem discouraged and hostile toward DPS, only to go on and on about "pay to win" gear, I can't rule out the possibility they in fact desperately want high DPS to be the direct result of owning expensive things, rather than being the result of an understanding of game mechanics. Projection is a…
It's a deliberate timegate to keep things in balance. If the timegate were removed, things would get out of hand very quickly. I'm going to have to veto this one.
I hear this a lot from folks who only know terrible-paying grinds and assume everyone else is also getting paid the same amount of dil per unit of grind time. The reality is a good number of folks are getting paid far more space cash than these types of folks believe is possible per unit of grind time. Worse, they tend to…
It'd be silly to produce non-Delta promo packs during this promotion. Seems like it'd be relatively cheap and easy to get those TBR pull DOFFs, sell off a couple of Delta promo packs and use the EC to buy them.
Sci-fi seems to have merged, through sloppy writing, the idea of using an extra dimension to travel to an alternate universe with the concept of alternate universes in general. Really just a matter of time before the accepted definition of "dimension" is modified to be a synonym of "universe". As it stands, it's a…
It sure would be nice if the exchange actually functioned properly by displaying the correct name and descriptions of DOFFs in the search results, without having to manually refresh each individual DOFF by repeatedly hovering over them.
