im almost up to 1000$ so to you all who dont think Gold players pay we do, just like ftp does.

Actually it is easier to ignore the fact that golds can use the C-Store too, than to realize that golds can actually end up paying significantly more than silvers:

Silver: Buys all from the C-Store... random number 10000 Zen.

Gold: Buys all from the C-Store... 10000 Zen + 15 USD

Im not saying that silvers are worth less than golds... im just saying that there seems to be certain silvers who think they are better than golds and vice versa... GET OVER IT ALREADY.
My name may say "PWE member", but I will never be.

Don't look silly, don't call it "Zen-Store" - I would have used the 1000 Day forum title, but since everyone and their mother can now, I won't.

Not one person her has said that Golds don't pay, as much or in some cases, even more than Silvers. NOT ONE. My expression of "maybe I pay more than you do a month" is simply a statement of fact. Just as there are some Silvers who pay nothing , there are some Golds who pay nothing but their 15 a month.

Therefore , Wow , sometimes Golds and Lifetime players spend more than Silvers, and sometimes silvers spend more than Life and Gold. Simple.

What I take umbrage with, is a Gold of Lifetime Player assuming and then saying that all silvers do not pay, and therefore are somehow not entitled to the same rights and privileges.

Hell the OP suggested shuttling us all off to our own server somewhere as if our very existence somehow taints his precious game. We are diseased !!!

Yes, you paid a lifetime fee, or a monthly subscription, but many Silver players have dropped hundreds of dollars into the game since joining in January as well. We are ALL players here. Why does this have to be a foolish US vs THEM argument.

To claim that anyone here is saying you haven't paid is plain making stuff up, just so you can express anger and righteous rage over something that NO ONE has said.

Now, maybe you did just have nothing to post except righteous, entitled rage spurned on by imaginary things you think people have said about you, but maybe , just maybe you will see that the real discussion that needs to be had here is this.

The server problems that happen around season launches. Yeah they kind of affect ALL of us. All those bugs and problems , kind of affect ALL of us. Now you can keep drinking the haterade, and pretending that somehow splitting the player base is a good idea (IE the Gold and Lifers are better than silvers, lets be in Two tribes and fight amongst ourselves)
OR
You could realize that instead of being enemies , as allies all of us could affect more and better change.

Oh and You do get all those Veteran rewards I'll never see ... right?
But , of course, I bet the fact that you don't have your android boff yet is somehow all the silver players fault too ...

You're wrong hippie...

If they hadn archived the posts, I could pull out some rather harsh comments from silvers claiming they will always pay more than golds.

As a silver player I have dropped minimum $30 a month on this game. A few months, much more. Just buying C points so I can support the game.

As a gold member you already get preference in the que. And I likely pay more per month than you.

Take a chill pill, man.
Rather than trying to stir up nonsensical Us Vs Them idiocy, why not join your voice to the rest of us (Gold and Silver alike) who are instead calling for Cryptic to improve the servers themselves so this doesn't happen to any of us.

See while your solution may be, I'm the important one, I'm Gold. Lets screw over the silvers, my approach is very different. I'd rather see all of us benefit from all of us helping the same improvements happen.

So , go on hating me because i am a Silver who probably pays more than you. I know when you are gold you must look at us as so unfortunate. OR try and look at things from outside your little rage box. We're a community around here. At least we strive to be.

Take such talk of seperating us for your convienience elsewhere.

Exactly, Turning us against each other is EXACTLY what the devs want.

Trying to claim that all silvers pay more than golds etc etc etc ... obviously pointless.

However, Id be willing to bet that in the months that this game has been "F2P" Cryptic and PWE have made more from silver players than has been made from golds/lifers since STO was released.

I think you misread what I was trying to say, all I was getting at is we all pay not that one or the other is better.

nah not saying that at all I love silvers, tbh I think people need to chill, I had 3 nasty comments on the game about me being a lifer, I think people pay what they want gold or silver. also i pay about 200-300 a month, doffs and ships is what I love to sell on exchange, but then again I also do it to support changes like server improvements and hiring new devs.
