Cryptic's Stupid Marketing Department at it again!

For me personally none of these make sense anyway. I mean I use two uniforms for my characters; my fleet dress, and duty uniform. I have an off duty uniform but sledom make use of it. As for additional bridge offers I usually have a few slots free now, so again now use. Finally extra ship slots, please, as an RP purest I only keep my active ship.

As for the per character purchase system, I would have no issue IF they keep it to items it makes sense for. The issue at hand, as I see it is Cryptic needs to increase revenue. Remember that this game came in on a short budget and they no longer recieve development money from Atari once the game went live. This means the entire budget for development for the this game from here on out is from the percventage of the subscription fees Cryptic gets as well as C-Store items. With players demanding a lot of deep content Cryptic has to pay the bills to give this and we as players have to poney up to allow them the chance.

I have been in the computer gaming industry and world a LONG time and understand what they are doing. I may not as a player like it but I can understand it.

In my personal opinion this fight was lost when the playerbase accepted the existence of a store on top of their sub fee.

Scuttlebutt among the subspace channels reports that the two additional costume slots was taken down in the store until it could be made account wide. I have not found anything, as of yet, that I can find to verify this information.

The Store battle was lost long before STO. This concept has been around for a while and is gaining ground every day. This genie is out of the bottle and will never be put back.

Yeah, costume slots will be account wide.

I don't see what the big deal is.

They weren't, initially. For the amount of points they were asking for this stuff I tend to agree; they should all be account wide.

It’s just one way they try to take my money well the only dime they will get from me is my subscription fee. I don’t see a point in the store in the first place I play a game to earn my cool items.
