Is it weird that I'm not excited about season 4?

Well, good luck with that, as we are having about 8 billion realities on this planet.
You: "Hey, stop insulting other people!"
Iskariot: "Actually, I just disagreed with his opinions and said why I found them absurd."
You:"U SO POOPY-PANTS!!!!!"
Good one.
As others have said, it's hard to be excited when we don't know what's coming. IMHO It's also hard to be excited when, in a supposedly 'cut-throat' galaxy, every update basically hands players some method or other of a few billion credits each for turning up, making other activities in the game redundant until a 'balance pass' (yeah... nice joke) occurs at some unspecified point in the future. Kinda makes credits and ship progression redundant.
It's also hard to be excited, when a fair number of the people you've been playing with for the past year or so have quit due to BGS bugs, disgust over the FSS scanner, disgust over the continued existence of PowerPlay and its intrusion into the base game, squadrons being completely pointless, or just simple burnout. It's pretty much back to the solo experience again for me.
Hope Frontier pull something out of the bag, though I'm not holding my breath for atmospheric landings, space legs, squadrons, or anything like story-based mission arcs.

And you:"I'm being clever"
Unfortunately I didnt need to be very clever to see that moral high ground of yours erode before my eyes. [haha]
I don't know that they 'should have' had atmospheric/space legs done by now.
I just know that I'm still twiddling and biding my time hoping to see a patch notes that contains SOMETHING addressing the longstanding multicrew issues that got me to stop playing over a year ago now (I stopped counting after a year).
I do keep tuned in, and the alarming bugs that pop up certainly don't allure me.
One thing, honestly, that would up my chances of firing up Elite right now? Removing the landing pad lightposts. Just thinking about those damn things makes me want to squirm in my seat.

Hahaha! I don't know who you are or what your argument is, but I think I love you.

The inability to fix and the unwillingness to even acknowledge certain game-ruining bugs on PS4 has totally destroyed my faith in this game on my platform.
I'm of similar mind. I'm not excited. On the other hand, I'm very much enjoying the new exploration tools right now. Thinking about what Elite could become makes me excited, but then I look at the last year and half and that excitement is significantly subdued. Elite used to be my "main game" when it first came out, now it's just another game in my library. I enjoy it for certain, specific aspects (exploration being my current vice), but it's no longer the apple of my eye. These days it's more like a splinter in the eye (see signature)!

The five years they've spent have been on producing what we have today,and they have done an excellenrt job to date,imo.There is still plenty of scope for development,but the game is in a much better state than it was five years ago.It's not bedroom tech anymore,it's i-want tech.I hope that it will continue to develop as organically in the future as it has in the past and that the pace of development is not affected by the clamours of disgruntlement from the critical mass,and will continue to accelerate toward escape velocity.
Have to admit that being locked out of the game literally 2-3 hours after my previous positive post on this thread due to another game breaking bug kind of takes the shine off things a bit.
As another ps4 player, I'm not at the stage where I'm losing faith in the game and I am still looking forward to new content, but being locked out for a third time does give me time to wonder if this may just be because I've not played the game for as long as you.
Oh well, maybe the next update will fix everything and it'll be all sunshine and roses again.
Season 4 is probably just the "No further updates" announcement.
People on console and PC have said how dead open is compared to before.
I'm sure a few still have rose colored glasses on and say everything is fine..

TBH I'm missing the vision. Something that will encourage me to keep on. Some storyline or whatever. But seems there is none. Wasn't Q4 the big champagne party that excused all the other shortcomings during the season? I find it lacking TBH. I do keep on, but for how long will be seen. Sad.
EDIT: Some time ago, they said something wonderful would happen and they would announce details after Q4. Well, that time is now, I guess. It's nice and fine with this LaGrange Phenomena stuff, but really, some of it seems like a silly Space Zoo. Galnet's offline anyway, placeholder articles only for a year now. It really seems like when building the Pyramids, suddenly the 10 Plagues struck, like Steve Kirby and then The Loach leaving the building and so on.

I’m excited by X4 Foundations. I did like 3.3 update but it’s not that engaging really.
Yeah, I'm with you on X4 there.
It being offline is a good thing because there are a number of mods available to shape the game in the direction you want,
I kinda hoped that Elite dangerous would fire up a 'downloadable toolbox' of some description to allow community created but ED approved content, I'd see that selling like hotcakes and generating more playtime.
