Let me add another. This is a ridiculous idea. I'm a lifer and i want nothing more than this game to be the best it can be. If they drop C-store prices, or drop it altogether, Then it should be for EVERYBODY.

Btw, I'm a lifer, see the blue name?

Talk about hitting the nail on the head.

Well dont know about free, Made it about a day late and a bit miffed I paid $50 more for less Lifer rewards. But a decent Bonus I would like to see is maybe Monthly C-Store credit's. Say about 50 or 100 credit's a Month for lifer's, more would be great? This way we wont be geting alot of stuff other's are paying for. But over the long run we can slowly get a thing or two.

I like this idea better than my own.

But I'd go with 200CP a month... most items are in that range. One visit to the C-Store a month on Cryptic's tab certainly wouldn't break them. And like you said you could save up for more expensive items.

Come on lets do this Cryptic

This makes far more sense

I don't think having free c-store for LTS is a good idea. however, I wouldn't mind a 400 cp stipen every month that i log in to STO. Cryptic could even require that the player log in and play for a minimum amount of time in order to qualify for the stipen. What do you think?

I kinda like that

I "plopped down" my lifers fee to play the game w/ out having to pay for a sub on a recurring basis. I think it's unreasonable to ask that all the extra stuff that goes up on the c-store be free for lifer's because the c-store items are not a must to play this game, they are extras and not part of the subscription.

same here. i see no need for free c-store for lifers (unless it goes F2P)

we paid to avoid sub fees for the life of the game, and some extras that have already been given. asking for points per month or freebies is kind of like saying "we paid you our sub fees upfront, so give us free stuffs now kthx, but dont give anything to those who are still paying you and may indeed end up paying way more than we did over the life of the game, because they are cheap and useless and have no say"

the c-store is a revenue raiser for cryptic, and i cant see them in any way cutting that out altogether, let alone giving out stuff in there for free thats priced at 1200 points, simply cause we paid for an LTS. and they shouldnt

Bad idea for obvious reasons...

You paid 300 dollar so you don't have to pay subscription fees anymore. I don't see how subscription fees and c-store are the same.
In 2 years from now you made your money back and you'll start saving out money every month after that. I think Cryptic has been very forthcoming already with all the bonusses they gave life timers.
