jesus stop it with the aggression, can you not have a discussion without getting prissy?
what the heck are you on about "after I didn't have to do it?"
It was WAY harder to make money at the start, I was in a sidey for 25 hrs, eagle for similar time. I ENJOYED every single upgrade that I saved up for.
the fact that you think the game now is more plausible with a better economy, where you can go from a sidewinder to fully upgraded cobra in 5 mins just by stealing 2 kills from security ships blows my mind.
without obviously using exploits and loopholes the game is absolutely NOT harder to make money now that it was at launch....
but you are free to your opinion.... but please point me to such risk free legal money making endeavours in my meat suit and I will be all over it
the point is I am just pointing out where *I* think SC has potential to be a more indepth game than ED and where having a cash shop can help because its in CIGs interest to keep the economy sensible..
Projecting your own feelings I see. Might want to take your own advice as you are the only one getting aggressive. Going down the ad hominem just shows you don't have an argument. And I went from a Sidwinder to a cobra in 4 hours, type 6 after another 4 hours. It was never hard to make credits even when ED launched. None of that was using what you seem to think of as exploits. You could always steal kills from Security ships, was that way from the start, it is just that now you can actually make a living doing bounty hunting. Never said it was harder with out "exploits" oh and they are not exploits if FD put them into the game, they are just mechanics that FD didn't think through. LOL it is all legal, none of it is exploits, FD put those mechanics into the game. They want you to be able to stack missions, or they would turn it off. Sorry but none of it is exploiting, they are actual mechanics that FD have put into the game, they just didn't think about how much people could do them. Even the original rare exports, that was not an exploit.
You have yet to make any connection to SC having more depth, then ED, the fact that CIG can't even get basic mechanics correct shows otherwise. Yes we get the fact that you want a P2W system, you don't have to keep saying it over and over again. You don't need a P2W system in order to keep economy sensible, what ever that means, as it is just your opinion on what that means. Sure CIG selling in game credits means they have vested interest in making sure people have a hard time making credits in game (remember all those ships they sold for cash? ya lets make it super hard for anyone to earn those in game). So they have to resort to purchasing ships and credits from CIG. Yep nothing can go wrong with a money greedy company like CIG.
