Sure...

If you are a dilithium gazillionaire after the conversion, you may lose out on some of your dilithium, because they don't want you to be a one-man-economy-wrecking-machine. So, if you are in the 1% of the game population this effects, you get a really cool super-boff to make up for your lost dilithium.

There was some math in there, but really since it only effects people who would have over 800,000 dilithium, odds aren't it isn't you or me that will be getting the super-boff.

This summary is very short and is not meant to be factual. :-)

So you came up with this mental formula to heavily tax 0.780% of the player base because you were scared they would harm the dilthium exchange ??? Thats messed up, really..... how much damage could 0.780% of the population do the economy in the long run ? if you wanted to control how much they put in the economy you could have just gave them mostly ore instead of removing currency they earned from grinding....

what those who dont get ore? i dont fall into this group.
ill get some ore. but i havent done any dailes for any kind of medals, and ive only did 1 borg arc.

True, but if it were me (and I seriously suspect it won't be me...) I wouldn't mind super-boff in exchange.

alot of damage... big money players bought up all the mats prior to a crafting update in order to corner the entire market.
Hell theres players who specifically play the exchange buying and selling..having massive buying power allows you to control a portion of the market.

Then you will NOT get the special cool Bridge officer.

Welcome to Season 5 - Call to arms as the regular 99% of veterans set the self destruct

Yes, but that would have been the sensible and easy way to do it, Cryptic on the other hand took the silly sticking forks in ones own eyes route

As neat as the rewards sound, I'm just so over STO and this whole F2P mess and Cryptic's abysmal handling of it right now that I can't muster up much in the way of jealousy. I'm emotionally exhausted with this game, and I am tired of venting at a brick wall. Off to craft a few more purples then take some serious time off.

It'll probably do wonders for your state of mind. In the end, its a video game, and hardly worth stroking out over. See ya when you come back.

So like Rehpic's response to Surfer: You get Ore in the conversion, you get a BOFF.


Question is, was the formula changed from Phyrexians? According to his chart, anyone with a few emblems will get somekind of ore in the return figures.




BTW, D'Angelo. How about a reward for those who continuously Beta Tested the F2P and even got Tier 4 in Commendations that wasn't Diplomacy?

Because Gozer gave people a free bump to test the STFs on the first week and they got a Unique Title that they get to keep and they disappeared after they met all the original goals for getting the F2P rewards. So why should they get more rewards than those who wanted F2P to come out as smoothly as possible?
