Not positive how it works here but most games consider that an abuse of the help system and your account may be actioned for it. It's like calling in false reports to the police. I wouldn't recommend that.

Yes, this message disrupts the immersion.

I haven't logged in for awhile now.

I was having a lot of fun playing over the last few weeks before this mess started. I find now that I don't miss it to much. I'd like to keep my DOffs busy but now I can't really think of a reason to bother.

I think it would be nice if they got rid of the galor spam and then I could come back and play. The longer it take the more I think this game will end up being one of those games I had fun with but just don't play anymore. It wasn't a bad run.

Nice deflection of an actual answer on whether or not you are actually going to do something about it.

Just remember - don't say "Star Trek" or "STO" or anything like that over there. It's apparently offensive and against the rules.

And from now on, I suggest referring to the... "other property". Or - "the game whose name shall not be mentioned" or something similar in either forum.
Appears the thread has already been deleted.

Amazing how Cryptic doesn't want the CO crowd to know what they're about to be subjected to....

When playing, I always look up to the galor message, because I think it's something important about MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY gameplay, not someone else's

But then, that's the whole point isn't it?

If we keep bombarding people with galor spam, eventually they'll be tempted to spend money on keys.

Sigh, STO needs to be sold to a company that would do the name proud.

While that is true that only helps to prove that it is a full-on win for PWE. They convinced people to spend possibly upwards of $250.00 on a SHIP... Win? Yes, yes it is. I mean lets say that 100 people paid that much. You just earned $25,000.00. Nice haul huh? I am sure it took a bit of Dev payment to make the ship but I think we can all assume they do not get paid hand over fist. So PWE probably broke even after their first couple of thousand. Now what if 500 folks paid that much for this thing? Now they earn $125,000.00. Whew... I wish 'I' could sell something for that much with so little investment. Now if a whole 1K players have been suckered this way then they got a womping $250,000.00... Niiiiice. Add that to what they got from the Holiday Boxes and their investment to BUY Cryptic is paying for itself real fast.

I hope this little demonstration helps you to really see what we are talking about in terms of PWE's motivations Vs. your... paltry concerns. If that system message is deemed to help them get this income then you and me having great disdain for it means absolutely NOTHING.

Release notes are out for the morning patch. Guess what's not in there.

That's right a fix for the most annoying thing in the game to date. Enjoy your Galor spam for at least another week now. I'll be playing Skyrim.

Don't look so surprised. I'm out too, for a while. Going to go buy a game on steam with the money I'm not spending on the ds9 bundle.

its bad enough when hackers and phishers spam, but to have the program developers spam the users of the programs they use is utterly despicable.
