Frontier Dev's are killing their own game

Oh come on.
The OP didn't say a word about what he thinks is borked in this game.
I wouldn't have posted my previous reply if the OP came with some sensible reasoning.
Those dumb posts like " FD screws up I'm gone" or "ED is a pile of .... I'm leaving" are accomplishing nothing but give the poster a imaginary sense of superiority over the developers or their work.

I'm not blind for the things in ED that need fixing but these kind of posts are holding zero value imho.
Sometimes it is more than one thing, or just something they can’t put into words. Often, the first sign of dissatisfaction is a general feeling of “wrongness” that can’t yet be defined. I have issues with the game as well. I can define some of them, but sometimes it’s more like the ineffable straw that broke the camel’s back.
 
While annoying and whining, there is a value in these quit posts. They SHOULD be a signal to the devs that some players do not like some aspects of the game. FDev should take notice, figure out if the leavers are big enough of a demographic to actually matter and change the game accordingly if so. Alone, posts from both leavers and those wishing them goodbye mean nothing.

FDev, adjust the game so that it pleases the majority of its playerbase. And gather player statistics if necessary.

So who do the Devs listen to:

The PvP'ers who want everyone in Open, preferably in unshielded ships?

The Space Legs fanbois who want a combination of SIMS in Space/Farmville/COD?

The Auto-everything crowd who want everything automated in the game?

The 'Let's make this FSP Eve' crowd?

The Pay-To-Win crowd?

I could go on of course but hopefully you see where I am heading. This is the most diverse player group I have ever experienced. Because of the open nature of the game, everyone plays it differently, and subsequently, expects (some demand) to play it their way. You could poll the player base, select the Top 100 responses and 99 would be different.

Sometimes I see the responses here and think “keep it up and you’ll finally get the game all to yourself.” There will be a handful of hardcore fans hissing mine while trawling the empty world they have claimed as their own.

Sometimes I read your posts with sad violin music playing in the background and the suicide prevention hotline on speed dial so I can get into your frame of mind. It also prevents me from throwing up in my mouth a little...
 
Dude, such coincidence, I stopped playing Farcry 3 two years ago! :D
Forgot to mention it in their forums though :-(
;-)

This is what drives people away. Who wants to be a part of this community if this is the result?

Serious note for a second, though, don’t make fun of the suicide hotline. You may find it all a right funny joke, but it’s not. Just because the world of Elite is dour, heartless, and cynical doesn’t mean the community has to emulate it.
 
Anyways.. I already quit playin' again like 2 weeks ago (after coming back from an 'extended' 2 year break).

Keep nerfing your game FDevs. You are doing a great job of driving your players away.

Will check back In another couple years.. but honestly not holding my breath.

Bye, though it feels to me FD may be a bit tetchy, whenever there ideas are reeled against they seem to come up with some duller, more punishing deviation of what came before,are we being disliked or trolled even?
 
Do not go quietly into that good night. Rage, rage, into the dying of the light..

Maybe someone needs to make a trap track, "Can I haz ya stuff? Can I.. can I.. haz ya stuff?", so I can just reply with that to these.

But yeah OP, they nerf an insane amount, I'm sorry it's become too much for you.
Just remember all things come to an end, whether good or bad.. and it's better to have played elite, than to have spent that time jacking off.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Ok, that's enough. Frontier values feedback, both positive and negative, but it has to be a bit more meaty than just 'keep nerfing your game.'

Closing this thread as it didn't start well and it's probably not going to improve.
