What happens when next time it is 50k points when you buy it at some boutique that charges $5 more than anyone else? Do you guys not understand the concept of principle? Perhaps that gray area that keeps creeping the way you don't want it to? Have you ever heard the phrase "Give them an inch; they take a mile"? Perhaps to quote Picard; "This far; no further!"
since when have you ever heard of a fanboi with principals?
just look at those still defending swg to prove this
I am not a fanboi, I actually have a distaste for Cryptic's business practices. I will say, I see no issue at all with this. This is not a first, nor does this offer that great of an advantage. Most of the add ons are uniforms or emotes. The ships or weapons do not grant much of an advantage for those who get them. They are nice to haves, nothing more. People just seem to want yet another reason to bash Cryptic. They already give us enough, we dont need to make up others.
None of this bothers me in the least bit. Not sure why people are getting thier panties in a bunch over it. LOL If walmart ( or any store) wants to get people to shop at thier store by selling an ingame whatever in STO than I consider it a form of advertising. I bought my copy from Gamestop got the Constitution class ship that i wont be using after i reach Lt Commander. But again i say how is it hurting you personally or anyone else? In the long run it doesnt matter.

All my opinions are just that..opinions. If you like my opinions..coolness.If you dont like my opinion....I really dont care. Playing: ESO, WOT, Smite, and Marvel Heroes
i like STO but i don't like all the free giveaways everyone should have to put the time in and quest to earn their ranks..sure i did the preorder thing from gamestop and got a free light cruiser with the blue phasers.. it's a fun old school enterprise looking ship but other then the look it really doesn't offer any kind battle advantage..
None of the offers provide a "battle advantage", so you are not at any disadvantage at all.
See my prior post for a more in-depth explanation.
i was responding to the OP not anything you wrote the point is there shouldn't be any free gaveaways in the game that give poeple any kind of advantege..so the fact that wal-mart is giving people 500 points and a increased captains stats is a very big in game advantage..and if you don't think that it is then you must be a player who just buys everything from the spammers just so you don't have to spend time questing for your items..in other words your not a true gamer..
