A Scream of help from an empty space (An Appeal to FDev)

Good luck with that.
Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do and a formalised request -- even one tinged with emotive language ("DEMAND"?) -- from an organised group or groups is arguably better than a series of disconnected scattershot postings all over the forums. The problem is that you're trying to offer an objective critique of the game's progress so far (and in many ways it has been slow and ill-conceived, so we're not in disagreement there) but there is also clearly an agenda to skew development in a direction favourable to your and your colleagues' preferred vision.
Item exchange and guilds, for example, would be as undesirable for me as multicrew is and I am far from alone in that attitude. Not everyone's wishlist is the same.
Your OP is basically a glorified "Game needs x or game will die" post dressed up as something more formal. I'm sorry, but to expect no criticism of it is naive at best.
In this appeal all is true, everything is essentially. The game is absolutely not reveals the creative potential of the player, absolutely there is no tools for creativity, such as in ksp. Yes, the Elite also has the combinatorics of vehicle modules, but, compared to the ksp, it's all very primitive at the impact of the player on the world and the world to the player. The player wants to change the world, but instead he was offered to beat his head on the scripts. Very much in the game, unfortunately, went somehow wrong and not to there.
But this game isn't really about changing the world. Last time I checked it is basically about having miserable yet awe inspiring space life in 31st century, in Milky Way galaxy.
Nope. You are only speaking for a very small part of the community.
See, that's what I disagree with. I am not entirely happy with the current state of the game. I also don't know where the journey will take us. But I also disagree with your priorities and the direction you think the development should continue. That you also claim to speak for the community only makes it worse.
So far almost everyone disagreed with you. And yet you still claim to speak for the community.
Yes, I speak for the community. We express the opinion that part of the community that supports it. If you disagree, you can just say it.

What proportion of the community? Certainly not all of it....
You lost the argument with 'I demand' hahaha

Until the size of the subset of the community that is represented by the OP is figured out, it might be better not to claim to speak on behalf of "the community" as that implies the whole community (rather than what is probably a subset of the community that does not comprise a majority).
It is difficult to play in ED, because it's boring. I tried all in game activities.
O...k...?
So play another game?
If you want to suggest what you think would improve those activites, go ahead though.
Errr, actually it's mine too. That kind of statement only applies if you've actually, ya know, made sure it's only one person's concern.
I'm not reading the entire thread but this is quite bizarrely the most unified support I've seen of the game's development.
I got a lotta love for the game, but the development process has been lackluster as hell. Yes to a more transparent direction, yes to more sensible bug testing/resolution, yes to BGS development, yes to more content.
Guild stuff? Hell no. Keep that out my game or I'll cut you down with a herring. Let's develop ED, not turn it into something else.

I speak for the community too and I say that you don't speak for the community. Check mate.
BTW
From now on I'll start every post with "I speak for the community..."

You speak for the community that totes agrees with you but you don't know who they are...
