The STF's were easy before, with the new buffs associated with the reputation system, the STF's will be just a joke.

I agree, there needs to be a better challenge and there should be rewards associated with completing the harder challenges.

I hate this system where everyone is a Vice Admiral and everyone is a MACO/Honor Guard Elite.

Dan said its reduced by 60% not to 60%.

Well I have to admit that I don't mind if everyone has a maco 12 set but at least we need some content where such overpowered stuff is mandatory on top of high playing skills.

I'm sure the devs know we are an important part of the community. Heck! We help people completing missions and getting better at STO, thus we contribute to everyone's enjoyment. We can give a ton of advices on build, strategies, anc contributing even more to everyone's enjoyment, but something really challenging we could do for ourselves would be nice too. We need to broke our backs on something.

It doesn't need to be the uber mega nice instance requiring 6 months of work from the art team but at least something with mechanics able to entertain us before we get the feeling that we've won at STO. I hate having this feeling in games because it means it's over.

I got a rare shield drop once- in about 100 runs between 2 toons, so if 300 runs=1 set then I should earn a set in...120 runs in the new system?

...forgetting that I gotta pay 200K dilithium to level up my rep so I can claim them.

Its a fix to a broken system. I have 2 Mk XII sets, ive been grinding since they came out with the new STFs more then 1.3k STFs... Please...

The way the current system works are

1 Happy Person (1-10 runs) to 1 Meh person (10-20) to 1 OMFG Person (100-1000 Runs)

The current system, for every Happy person, there has to be a omfg person... The new system forces ppl at Meh. Removing the extreamly pissed and extreamly happy ppl

The system actually works this way:

1-10 runs, nice, this deserves to be supported, Cryptic rocks, I'm buying Zen (with $, not dil)
10-20 runs, wtf is this? um... yea, there are more interesting games out there, cya all
100-1000 runs, OMFG, I'm on drugs or/and need a shrink, definetly

In the end, Cryptic wants us to buy Zen.

Oh. Ok.

(I don't believe in either number anyway. I think it is increased by 500% or something. At least to get 1 simple XII weapon.)

Regardless of the actual number, it's just not ridiculously hard to get XII anymore after the increase some time ago (which many are not aware of).

Make a little more money, but don't put everything in the game for sale please.

If drops are a joke, what are all the fancy premium ships and equipment good for getting anyway?

100% agree with that.

I don't want to play a pretty screensaver i want to play a GAME.


i don't see how replacing a broken REWARD SYSTEM with another broken but monetized system is making things easier...

and it may be 60% easier to get a full XII set, but if you want dilithium out of STFs it gets 200% or so harder.

and what do you think Cryptic cares more about? Players running around with a 1 year old helmet graphic, or players trying to get it having their pockets filled with Dilithium in the process?

yah right.
