*aside* Ah, Martin Niemoller. I quoted him in a presentation I did for history class, years ago. It's a little extreme to make that comparison, but I can see where it came from.
I'm in STO for the fun. I don't like to grind and I never have. I like good solid content from a game that I find fun. STO has, since S6 went live, become a grindfest. But that isn't the only issue at stake here. We STO players play because we love star trek, we're invested in it and we don't want to see a game with such potential go down the proverbial toilet. Thing is, it is heading in the direction of said toilet, has been on that heading for some time and we the players have been ignored every time we have made our opinions clear.
Btw, I knew that the Andorian ships were on the way, but I didn't realise that they were due quite so soon. I figured that they would see the light of day around June.
I may not speak for everyone, but releasing a 'shiny' quite like that at this particular time raised a few eyebrows. Something to distract most players from the issues? Maybe, maybe not. Hopefully I'm wrong and it really was a coincidence.
Shaun, I don't know how my statement was hypocritical so would you kindly tell me?
