Can't see this one going down too well, we'll see I guess.

[Jestersmith]

This was to be expected not something that will affect myself but its a hindrance to them that make toons to just get the t5 dill

[Bridger]

If i think about it you use what a max of 3 to 4 Rep Gear on a Build and you will end up with 32K Dil per Rep that is 416K Rep Dil you can't use on anything else.

But to get to Tier 5 you have to use unrestriced Dilithium that is a bad deal.

[insert very many not kind words here]


Dil you can turn into Zen eventually or phoenix boxes! rep vouchers just gonna sit there.

[Palechimera]

This is not the way to fix the dili problem if anything this is going to make things worse. If they devs really wanted to fix the dili problem all they really have to do is add new gear items and bring back old items no longer accessible to the Dilithium store that would go along way to easing the backlog.

Side note this announcement is likely to inflate key's that are on the exchange to prices higher then they already are

[Sul-Matuul]

A pointless token gesture to try and claim they are fixing the economy.

Nobody is farming endless toons through 12x reps to T5 just to get a paltry 35k dil each time. It takes weeks to get a rep to T5 and you can hoard tens of thousands of dil from mark boxes before you’ll get to T5.

This game’s economy has two problems these days:

- oversupply of dilithium because it’s so easy to get massive volumes rapidly (but not from reputations).

- once you have maxed everything there’s nothing to spend dilithium on apart from running it into zen. (And seeing as everything they release the days is costing ever more insane amounts of zen to acquire …that’s what the majority are doing).

A new captain might be able to use a good chunk of that if they want to unlock all the tailor options for ground and/or meta gear for one or more types of builds, but otherwise it is pretty useless. Given that it takes 3-5 weeks to grind a rep to T5 after hitting level 50, assuming you have the marks, ec, and expertise racked up for it, I never really assumed it was a huge farming problem compared to admiralty or running randoms and flipping marks. Glad all my regular toons are past that at any rate, and hope thus change isn't a suprise prelude to a new rep getting added.

[Sythe]

This does seem to be an attempt to have less unrestricted dilithium being traded for zen, hoping that more people will pay real money for zen if it seems harder to trade for.

[Sorotia]

So their idea to fix the hemorrhage is to use a children's band aid?

[trekchu]

I don't see much point behind this. On my main, 90+% of the dili she has are TFO rewards and traded in marks from reps I don't intend to do anything with...

Most consoles are either from the Fleet or from various Store ships I have.

I can see this making things slightly better with new toons, but this does f**k all for the legacy toons that have mountains of Dili and nothing to do with it.

[Remsus]

The next try of "fixing", only to make STO more pay to win. Little late in my opinion, with all the players farmed there toons to Level 50 an Rep T5.

[Bridger]

[JByb04]

I was late to the game on rep grinds for Dilithium and this change does not make me the least bit happy.

Bad move on their part.
