This is just incomprehensible to me. Why would they actively seek to drive away the player base? What's the long-term goal here?

It's almost like they're trying to make a game where you can trade, dogfight, mine or explore while slowly improving your ship over time, rather than just a giant, pew-pew PvP arena... Like that old game... the one on the BBC Micro back in the 80s... what's it called? Oh, that's right... Elite.
I think some folk need to go check out Everspace, because Elite is supposed to be slower paced.
Look at the people who agree with you and those who agree with me, and think about their forum histories and contributions. I got a lot of rep for that first post today.
Just because I rep you doesn't mean I agree with you.
So.. because it used to be slow, plodding and a chore it needs to be that way today? Wow.
I completely agree with you. I installed the game when I heard about making enough money in a short time, so I could pay for my playstyle. But they "fixed" it, before I could take a mission. Well wasted my time and going to wait until the next chance.
I was bewildered by your (and others) comments about FDev bringing the ability to buy Credits with cash. Here is what the ED community thinks: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/85wrue/dear_fdev_this_many_cmdrs_never_want_to_see/
Have a think about why it is perhaps that FDev scrapped the idea in the first place.
Like I said originally - band-aid "fixes" like Credits for cash money are not the answer to the current un-balanced methods of making money in-game
And if your still not actually joking then...
facepalm...again

No to the former, yes to the latter. Low Rank, low paid missions should be fairly straightforward, & thus "repetitive", but higher ranked, higher paid missions need to get increasingly complex, difficult and/or dangerous, & with ever increasing wrinkles & chains to add variety to the original mission template.
I looked at the mission board where I currently am, & I feel totally spoilt for choice. My only issue is the trigger rate for mission chains, which seem awfully low, but apparently everyone else is doing OK with those....so maybe its just me.That said, I eagerly await Chapter 2, which is meant to have more of a Mission focus.
Hi, never did a gold rush, been playing since the start, (KS founder), only got an anaconda lately thanks to the guardian mission that raised my assets to 350m, got this first big ship after 5 years and learning to fight with it. I am happy that the game cash is slow and that the rebuy cost is scary for me. Sorry I don t understand you guys. plz no cash for credit, this would be sad.

Your 2nd point I agree. Your 1st point tho... It's already daft imo that delivery missions already pay more than the profit I make from buying the same goods with all my own cash . That is just daft. I think it makes sense for bulk delivery and fetch missions to pay far more but only if magic pay multipliers are canned. If FD want to add real high players they need to have multiple follow ons to get job done and only pay at end imo
Good to hear Brett.
Ummm, while you are here good you ask someone about the Flight assist off bug that arrived in 3.0
On topic, where can someone report a potential bug in the mission board that causes massive payouts, would rather mail someone directly then start a thread discussion, am not even sure it is a bug, my fear is it will be nerfed out of existence, when it probably just needs a minor adjustment.
Thank you.
I guess I might fall into the relm of the vet, or not im not sure what makes a vet, maybe its somthing somone gives themselves to make them seem more important than they are, whoppededo fella youve been playing the game a bit longer than me, (ive been playing on and off since late 2016, and have about 1500hrs logged).
As for rep ....my god it means nothing if it held anything bar the fact that you can now fly xyz ship then I might agree with these self aclaimed gods of ED.
Sure I worked my way up to where I wanted to be by playing the game, I can afford and have the rank for cutter never used an expolit did about an hour off mindless gring to jump one of the ranks.
But if somone wants to skip to the end its no skin off my nose, FD got X amount out of them, and the slim chance they might get anymore from micro transactions via the store is just that. So no I dont see the problem with little Billy jumping into his cutter and you know enjoying the game his way.
I somtimes think the way some people around here think we should all be living in mud huts and walking, ohh no you cant ride a horse I had to walk here ....
Good to see that you scrapped the idea and standing by that decision.
I wouldnt care if people used the store to buy credits, Im glad its not going to happen as allthough I have used them in other games, the amount of spam the chat box used to fill up with and the endless whispers of get x amount for yoru dollor put me off more than one game.

In case it isnt a bug, pls share so we can see it. It will probably get the entire mission category adjusted to lowest levels inevitably so..
