A good number of players just did doff missions to level up. Which means they didn't buy Bonus boxes, hence making no money for Cryptic/Arc. So it had to be nerfed.
Nerfing the tribble marks? That is just plain ridiculous.
I was quite happy to spend some money from time to time to get Zen, but that's not gonna happen now any more. There's no logical reason to upset the player base like this.

could it be that you sometimes calculate too much? Thought games are meant to be played and not calculated from top to bottom.
If it takes 1, 2 or 5 years to earn that 151.600 zen then thats the way it goes - actually you dont need to pay anything as the game is mostly free to play.The conditions for all are the same. Some have more time to play, some are richer than others. Do we have to be mad? Dont think so, the game is free and if Cryptic wants us to play the game in another way then that how it goes. When players leave this game due to this then its not what Cryptic wants but its their fault and they have to live with the consequences. You are not forced to pay real life money to make progress.
I think there is too much complaining lately...

Hello Fleet
I feel that power leveling defeats the purpose of the game but cyptic needs to allow the gamer to play and gain the skill points needed to advance to the next level and mission. -
Havent played in Kerrat - dont like it for the fact that Klingons there were to hard for FEDs. Didnt liked the game - as i even didnt managed to conquer these points - cause i was always attacked before i could get it. Same applies to PVP - never really have played it as most of the teams were pro PVP gamers where a normal build had no chance.
Probably i am not doing all the stuff that is possible - but i played what i did like. Some PVEs and thats what i will do for the fun sake. Even if that means to loose an event now or then. And if progress is longer than i have to play longer
I can understand that people are frustrated - but on the other side people always moan instead trying to adjust. Moaning is easier^^

grouping together and play the missions in teams could help new players. Its an MMO and supposed that people work in groups. I mean organized groups as obviously a group of new players wont do any good in the missions ;D

Someone on the STO Forums posted a YouTube link which talks about how F2P games loose players. I found it rather interesting.

The model described assumes that low budget players are wanting to afford to spend money to become a Whale player. Which is not entirely true. Free 2 play means i can play the game for free. Which is also true for STO. It does not say how this game is supposed to play free. If they want me to buy stuff then thats up to my decision to follow or not. I even dont see why everybody is looking at the Whale players. I dont care if anyone has an uber big ship and equipment. If he likes to play it then so be it. Must not mean i need to have the same to play.
If there is better equipment to play faster and harder then thats how it is. If they refund their costs then its good for all people who play the F2P game. Otherwise no one would play the game very soon if costs are not covered. Nothing is free in this world - except water falling from the sky
The concept is not wrong. People must not afford in game stuff if the game is free to play. People must not try to compete with Whales players. They really dont need. I could group up with players of the same kind with normal builds and have not bought any stuff and can have fun. You are not forced to play against these Whales - you can fight with them and they probably are a good addition to low level (in regards of equipment) player groups.
If you dont have the money or the time to upgrade your characters so you just can play the normal pve or pvps then whats wrong? I would then play the normal missions, if the elite or advanced or too hard. Does that take away the fun - dunno - i dont see why. I can try the elite stuff and loose, well a challenge then. I actually dont care really if i get 500 dil or 1000 dil. That just means i can get the same reward playing the whole stuff twice. Whats the problem? That means if players want to get advanced equipment then they have to play 2 or more times the same content over and over again then in the past. Good - now players actually need to play the game more than before, where some just spend a week or a month and then have all the stuff thats good which means they very soon get bored cause they have no challenge anymore and fun to play. Now this fast pace was reduced which gives the devs more time to release the next version, time that is required to work on concepts and bug hunting^^
The argumentation seems for me that you claim that stuff must be given to you in the same way you had before. No its not. I would link to our Crossfire rules, playing this game is not a right but a privilege. Again if they displease the broader player base then they need to live with the consequences - if players leave and no groups of players can anylonger play the game then the game is dead, the costs are not covered and the server will be closed. Not any of our problems actually or?

so, it was a "bug"
maybe we shouldn't play the game at all, you never know when a new bug might be discovered... -
I kinda have to view things much like Huor....otherwise my lack of funds to upgrade my stuff would drive me even crazier than I already am
