The crux of whole argument from both sides is just here : FD made a mistake by allowing to change galactic power statement from pg/solo. Everyone's who disagreed (at least me and my closest buddies) just ignored the PP. Significant amount of people, who were cool with it and seen this as an advantage in complete safety, got used to it and now people got mad because frontier want to turn the entire design upside down, taking their advantage off them.
Fair enough, mate. Keep in mind though that whether rightly or wrongly this is judging the worth and value of others as apposed to that of the worth of the effort you and yours have put in the way that you presumably have. The dichotomy of the other is, in essence, the crux of the difference of opinion here. Different people approach the game in different ways that the game allows for, so try not to blame them entirely for the platform that is already there.
The solution, as best as it can be, is a solution for both, not one or the other, and I think there are in fact ways in which this can be resolved to meet both ends in a fair and balanced way. It won't be easy, but I never wanted easy anyway. You all suck, remember?
