Nice Post.
Luckily the ones who find it boring/ non challenging etc, are pretty new to gaming.
Back in the day, there was no hand holding, there was no end game... you had two types of games.
Single player, play through with no save files to the end and complete, or get game over and start again.
Or play a sandbox game with no multiplayer, no hand holding, no "quests", no zone gating, none of this wow-esque content that you get in today's games.
ED is staying true to the core of old school gaming. Play how you want, use the systems they have in place to simply create your own path and enjoy the game.
What I see is a pattern with all these complainers. They aim to get the top ships in a couple of weeks, their entire gameplay goal is around credits p/h, and how much one can make so quickly.
When they realize that they can't make as much as they hope then they complain.
Then they decide to put all their eggs in one basket, hoping to score a large amount of credits from a trade route, and get blown up... then wonder why they didn't have enough for insurance.
Then come to the forum and complain about it being too "cruel".
It's petty. The whole thing really. These complainers have absolutely no idea how to simply enjoy a game for what it is. Because most games have end game objectives.
Take WoW for example. End game is raiding. But once you obtain all that raiding gear... you grind reputation. Then you get that... then what next? Unsub and wait for the expansion. Typical really. Once people run out of objectives to complete, they'll stop playing.
Too bad there is no end game objective here for ED for them. If people want that kind of raiding/ gear grinding end game then they won't find it here, and complaining on the forums about how lackluster the game is, and how it's simply "boring"... sorry, but you're just not playing it right.
The idea of the game is to simply play in the sandbox and have fun. Do what you want.
What happens when you do get the anaconda and enough to maintain it? Quit the game?
It's just not how ED is designed. It's designed simply to jump in, play and enjoy what the game has to offer. Try everything, explore the galaxy... learn some new maneuvers, get involved in PvP, try to cause civil war in systems.
Just don't complain when the game isn't offering you what you want. Because ED isn't about you. You are not the one to save the world because you are almighty and powerful, and to get that power again you just have to grind mobs to be the one again.
It's about the galaxy, and engrossing yourself into it. Be part of it... don't try to be above it.

Flappers, get outta my head! Haha, I think we're on the same wavelength here.
