    Fine if we're gonna get rid of stuff just because a few people find them annoying then we can get rid of Speed Boost as well. From what I've seen on the forums more people find that power annoying than the temp power recipe drops.

    The cost for recipes is way too high. They either need to cut the merit price in half or double the merits.
    The prices are fine. Nothing needs to be changed. The ability to cherry pick your recipes comes with a cost.

    If you think getting your account banned for using RMT sites is beneficial I won't argue. I will agree that the inf will last you the rest of the life of the account. That lifetime being the amount of time it takes for the ban hammer to drop. I suppose you could get started on a new toon on a new account as long as you don't get caught trying to circumvent the ban, but you'll be starting broke from scratch.

    The devs have done that already. The current system we have is fine and doesn't need to be changed just because you don't like it.

    Further Does anyone remember when Merging the markets was "IMPOSSIBLE"
    No. The devs never said merging the markets would be impossible. They said that the vast disparity of available wealth between the two factions made merging the markets unfair to the players playing villains. So they weren't going to do it until they found a way to balance available wealth.

    Wait it is possible now.. Oh MY, the earth and heavens must have been split in two to get this accomplished.. Or maybe someone(s) with some coding skills finally figured out how to do it..
    Oh insulting the devs. Yeah that'll get them to take your bad idea seriously.

    Purple IOs is considered the lottery to me.. Meaning I will never consider having the ability to afford and use Purple IO sets.
    Good. they are supposed to be hard to get. Working as intended.

    Quote:
    End result everyone has mentioned either Farm and Market are optional and you can get enough money to buy stuff on market.. The reality is it just is not the facts. My character account is proof of that.
    By your own admission the majority of people aren't having the problems you are. That seems to indicate the problem isn't with the game.

    Quote:
    You are required to Farm or Market to obtain decent IOs or the money needed to purchase these IOs.
    No you aren't. I do neither and I have had no problems getting the enhancements I want.

    Quote:
    You cannot just do this through regular game play is all I am saying.. Well in all fairness you can.. But it would probably take you 8 months of doing missions at level 50 to obtain the cash required for a decent non purple IO build..
    Total BS.

    There is no casual put your stuff on the market and wait for it to sell..
    This is the only way I play, and I have had no trouble getting what I want.

    Quote:
    I can't count the number of times I sell below the current lowest price, only to see the next day the item is selling for less then half.. My items sits on market for 2 weeks before I have to take it down to resell.
    There's one of your problems with perception. You don't get to see what the prices are on the market. The market only shows you what the highest bids were. Many of us make a point of selling our stuff for 1 inf. You can't underbid us. You can only match us.

    Quote:
    Many make this stuff sound easy.
    It is. It's only as complicated as you make it. If you keep having to pull stuff off the market and lower your price then YOU are asking to much for it. Stop being greedy and learn from your mistakes.

    Hey I do AE farms on Monday and Wed.. And I do ST/TF on Tues and Thurs.. Then on friday and sat I do missions.. Then sunday I collect all my money from the market stuff I sold..

    Thats great if you have 7 days a week to play the game..
    Hey I don't. I haven't used the AE after the first month it was released. Haven't done a TF in over a year. I just play twice a week for a 2-3 hours. Yet I still get enough to buy what I want.

    Quote:
    You shouldn't be forcing people to conform to a system to obtain something.. It should be optional..
    No ones forcing you to use anything. I have many characters that only use SO's and they have not suffered for it. No one even knows they don't use IO's.

    The problem you are perceiving is one you made up for yourself.

    I also recall so many imperative players basing their opinion on the "dev said" as it happened in the market merger, sharing items in co-op zones...The you are dumb if you think that will ever happen because the "dev said"
    Hugs

    Stormy

    This is an example of trolling. Storm is blatantly lying about what both the devs and players said about the examples he listed.

    Not once did the devs ever say that they would never merge the markets, allow sharing of items in co-op, etc. What they actually said was that they would require a lot of work and would take a long time to implement so we shouldn't expect them any time soon. The people here on the forums merely repeated what they said.

    It's the same thing they said about power customization, side switching, emailing inf/loot, weapon customization, power proliferation, fixing PvP, Base love.

    Off the top of my head I can only think of three things they devs ever flat out told us would never happen.

    1. Full Respecs
    2. Allowing us to pull more than 10 enhancements off a build during a respec.
    3. Making Stamina inherent.

    No. In their minds they win in either case. If they get an angry response they've won in p***ing you off. If you stop posting they win because they successfully drove you out of the thread.

    The only way they lose is when they can't get you mad at them. Some can handle losing and some can't. The ones that can't inevitably self destruct. Remember City-Life, Shiverwraith, and KittyCrusader?

    I just never thought of it as a real zone. Just like I don't think of Pocket D, or the Midnighters club as zones. But that's just me. I'm crazy.

    The funny thing about his claim about our attitude is that we have Star Trek Online players that prefer asking for help for that game over here because we are so much nicer and helpful than anything they get on the STO forums.

    My global chat is set up in a similar fashion, since the people there are the only ones I care about informing what I'm playing.

    Ouroborus isn't a hazard zone. There is nothing dangerous in the zone. No enemy NPC's or GM's. Only access to the flashback system. It's more like a level restricted AE building, except instead of player created content you can access official content.

    You have to buy the EU version of the game.


    We've been begging the devs to merge the server lists so the NA and EU players can intermingle for years but the French are being rude and snobbish about playing with Americans and generally dragging their feet about it.


    Edit: yeah you can create an EU trial too.

    I didn't say the AE edition was on sale for that price. I said you can find various editions on sale for less.

    New in original shrink wrap $1.44 + $3.99 shipping = $5.43. So yeah even after shipping.

    Ya just gotta scroll past the featured merchants and read the listings under "New" and of course read the fine print. I wouldn't buy any software that didn't say factory sealed or new in original shrink wrap.
