MMORPG.com's Jon Wood had a chance recently to sit down with Star Trek Online's Craig Zinkievich and Bill Roper to talk about some of the bigger complaints that players have had about the game since its launch.

Zinkievich and Roper answered the question by pointing out that they have a policy against putting items in the C-Store that requires players to buy them, with nothing required for advancement, and nothing that allows players to “play better,” or, as Roper put it, the store is populated with “Nothing that’s truly substantive.”
