Edit: I've been talked out of my space trucking simulator state(trading addiction) and tried a bit of mining, post here
I told myself I wouldn't come to the forums and complain but I can't help myself.
I've played E
since beta 1.x, and it was great fun, by far one of the most entertaining games I've played, and FD are by far one of the best game development companies, they listen to their community. but recently, since Gamma/release, I can't push myself to play E anymore.
Every time I try to play it usually consists of endlessly flying around trying to find a decent trade route that'll pay more than pennies, I've considered trying mining but from what I've heard mining is just more of a grind and less profitable than trading. I'm flying about in a hauler so I'm not even going to attempt bounty hunting.
I know this thread is just going to be treated as another rant against the trading nerfs, which I guess it is, but I don't really care. Grinding trading routes that gives me no more than 1-3k profit isn't entertaining, if anything it's the exact opposite, It's tedious and boring, Games aren't supposed to be tedious and boring. The only reason I was able to buy a hauler was from selling the Freegal from the merc pack.
E has the potential to be an amazing and extremely fun game, but for me it's the opposite currently, I would love to be able to come on and play for hours again but I can't, I've never found any form of extreme grinding fun, not in any game, and I'm sure I never will. But sadly most games released today revolve around grinding to progress further.
So I'm pretty much done with E for now, unless I somehow manage to come across a good way to progress in this game, I can't see myself playing it much in the future.
Rant over, I'm out, have fun.
