You aren't even paying for the goods you are smuggling from Robigo (not to mention big deal you got scanned go back and grab more missions, its still pays buttloads you'll make the money you "lost" (as in nothing since you put no money in the first place) faster than you will send the ticket or get a reply

It's not even a self-entitlement. It's just plain wrong.
It's like, I don't know, if you were given a ticket to movies and someone stole it from you and You asked a prime minister to give you five bucks for your trouble.

Yes, but in trade you're transporting a cargo that you've already bought, you haven't used any logging exploit to get it in your hold and are compensated for that loss if a bug occurs, in smuggling you've not spend any money, just time while mission logging.

Time and credits are interchangeable in this game - I don't see the distinction. Edit: OK, I wish I could spend credits to get more time to play, so they're not really interchangeable :D

Cycling modes hasn't been declared an exploit by FD, just "not in the spirit of the game". Kinda like using 3rd party tools to track down best cargo routes, amiright?

Wouldn't a trader be "entitled" to compensation if a bug resulted in the destruction of their cargo? Say, the game confused the "engage supercruise" with "dump cargo"?

1) Not really
2) Even if they were, they would have been more entitled, because they BOUGHT THE CARGO in the first place, hence they DID lose the money to a bug. Failing a smuggling mission doesn't cost you anything but time, as you remarked. In other words they basically want Frontier to pay them in credits for playing the game. ;)

Doesn't it suck when you can't make 40 million credits an hour? I wish FD would just let our computer AI do robigo runs for us so we don't all have to waste our time getting money. (tongue in cheek)

Has anybody been compensated for losing bounty money at the RES because the NPCs shot back at them and stopped them from earning money so fast? I reckon that it's cost me about a billion credits or more. I keep submitting tickets but they've blanked me. I don't think that's fair. The game's broken.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of the game's population is the same way. Seen lots of posts from people complaining that missions aren't worth doing because they don't pay well, or folks not even dropping to hear a counter offer because they know it'll be peanuts compared to the mission payout.

It's cool that you don't think FD should compensate someone for a loss due to a bug, but I think you're in the minority in this thread. It seems most people are ragging on the Op because they are morally opposed to smuggling, fat profits, or both.

Nice strawman, but we were talking about a bug causing a loss, not intended game behavior. Or were you trying to imply that there are no bugs in the Robigo mission scenarios?

Let's modify your scenario a bit... ever earned millions of credits in a RES, but the game crashed and when you logged on all of your bounties were missing?

Would you be as opposed to requesting compensation in that case?

Unless the Op is only curious about how many request for compensation were honored, and not whether people would submit a request at all.

Most of the posts in this thread are off topic, but what are you gonna do?

Edit: after viewing the poll results, I have to wonder if any of the "Nos" even submitted a request... Op, you might be better off starting a new poll, and provide the option for "Didn't submit a request" if you want to get any kind of accuracy.

No? I wanted to see if anyone has been compensated and doesn't seem like it.

Probably but I also feel like that 1 guy is just there to make yes not have 0 votes.

They failed something through a fault in the game, not their own. The same as failing any missions due to a bug. How is that entitlement? It's the fault of FD. The game didn't work as it is supposed to, causing a failed mission.

Hyperbole. It isn't that much more lucrative than any other activity, as featured in this thread. Besides, even if it was, what do you care?

Personally, I don't care.

But the way Error hammers on about it in the Xbox forum, you'd think each run takes a year off his life expectancy. I think he's a little silly about it really.

I only want to see a nerf to see an end to these wah-wah threads about it.
