Not at all. I quite clearly said that I don't consider OP to be stupid. But if I would call someone else stupid I would rather do it to his face than on an anonymous internet forum. First, because it's impossible to tell if someone is stupid based on an internet thread and second because it's only fun when you can see his face. How you jump to the conclusion that I frequently call people stupid without being personally offended is beyond me and a pretty rude accusation.

I am sure he meant a newcomer to this forum - which he is.
Dito. Next time you claim I am running around and call everyone and his mother stupid for no reason I suggest you think twice about it.
PS
By the way, I consider the discussion we just had also to be pretty stupid, I hope it doesn't offend you.

There are no semantics involved there at all. Challenging someone's behaviour without making a judgement about the person is a fairly basic concept in effective communication and that's exactly what he did. If you aren't seeing that in what he wrote, perhaps you'd do well to read it again.
Edit: Nope, they blocked that now as well
Bellend was still OK last time I checked.
Edit: Yep

Took several times a break from the game. So I think it is possible to play a lot and hate the game
However I have mixed feelings about the game. It's very funny due to the whole theme, but so grindy. Made the serious money when there were money exploits available, e.g. the skimmer missions. And I don't regret it. This was most fun in my opinon. As the OP I don't want to invest the time to start anew / loose days of progress. It's a game after all. I don't need a work simulator after work
Anyways I am looking forward to the coming updates. See you in space commanders -- Or not I'm rarely out in "open".

You mean the swear filter comment or just in general what you've been saying before?
Was checking my steam account and I have an average of 10-20 hours in games that cost $40-60. These are games where I feel I got my money's worth. Games that I hate (but wanted to like) usually have maybe a little over 2 hours played.
If I have 750 hours into a game, that can mean nothing except that I really enjoyed my time enough to become obsessed with it, and the cost far exceeded the value. Now it's certainly a shame that you're leaving the game on a negative note (honestly I don't think you are actually leaving though), but really most players of Elite find it relatively easy to make ongoing progress (complete missions, defeat NPCs, fool the AI), even if the game is a bit grindy at times. Sounds like maybe you need an even easier game, not sure what game that would be tbh, since this one is near the bottom on the difficulty scale, and after 750 hours, you should know almost everything you need for basic flight and survival. Really that shouldn't take more than 50-250 hours, at most.
That's not to say that Elite is simple however, since I have over 3000 hours and I'm still learning new things.

What about also: do not populate the forum with cheap rage quit posts?
The title of the thread says "Newcomer is Done - quitting for a while - maybe for good" the first line says has 750 hours... Got to be the stupidest thing I've heard in a while and coming from this forum, that says a lot.
Newcomer with 750 hours... How absurd.
Newcomer with 750 hours... How absurd.
It's like those steam reviews from people who slam games as boring/tedious or whatever and they have over 3k hours in it.
That's exactly the game. Pretend Spaceman til you dowanna noe moar.
In all fairness there was more then a few "newcomer" mistakes and ideas in his post.
I've only managed around 850 hours since release, and have had several long breaks from the game, each time coming back pleased I did and just enjoying what there was to do. So if you've racked 750 hours in short measure then perhaps you just need a rest, come back in Q4 and see how things are shaping up.
The vast majority of the money I've made has come from trading and passenger missions - with the latter being very profitable.
As for having breakfast whilst logged in. Well, that was a bit silly.
But if you never come back, I'd say 750 hours is a pretty good play-time for any game!
Yep...same. Passengers are still a decent way to generate income in between shooting stuff. Find a good spot. Get allied and start running VIP sightseeing tours and long range bulk travel. My best spot goes to a location 350,000ls out. I can get almost 30mil per trip for a 15-20min flight. EDDB is a good resource for finding long range locations. Put in where you want to be and how many LS you're willing to travel. Then go to the systems next door to see if there's runs out there. No cheats or exploits of the week. Just play the game and you'll always have a spot to get quick cash.
I've seen too many examples of this. I guess some people just don't do irony.
