[Video] Open letter from community to Elite Dangerous

Well done. Its important to know your own preferences when choosing which video games to buy. Hopefully this has acted as a learning experience for you and in future you will be able to make a more informed choice.

Good luck with your next purchase.

Here I am 2 years later cause of that open letter and ur still here still with the same attitude and STILL pushing even more ppl away.. keep doing what ur doing man, you gona end up playing all alone in those 400 billion stars..

Imma rock it with Stigbob. I like the cut of his jib.
 
I have previously politely asked you to not gatekeep the experience of playing Elite. I'm happy for you that you love Elite as it is, genuinely. I largely love Elite as it is (when it works - being primarily a bgs player, the broken mission boards have this challenging as of late) but I think it could be better. My experience is different from yours. This does not make me "wrong" and you "correct" and I do not appreciate your condescension. I ask you again to please stop.
Go easy on Stigbob. He's (and a handful of other like minded volunteer gatekeepers) just doing his job.
 
Gatekeeping is when one person decides that their experience alone allows them to decide who is allowed to have an opinion on something and that anyone who disagrees with their opinion clearly doesn't understand the breadth and depth of their experience that allows them to make such judgements.

I guess I missed where Stigbob suppressed your right to have an opinion. I did, however, read you trying to control his. Weird, isn't it?

Can't say I feel pushed in any way. As high-level community influence celerity it's just like that.
 
Have I? I have told him I'm happy for him to have his opinion and I'm glad he likes Elite as it is while he has told me not to play the game anymore if I don't like it and that I'm doing it wrong.

Well, going from banal to gatekeeping in just a couple of posts, I don;t see where he's restricting your opinions, but foisting some new-age fra-la-la of Gatekeeping and asking him to stop expressing his opinion does seem like your trying to control his opinion. Just sayin'.

Really ?. I can't remember ever having spoken to you before.

Is that offline mode confirmed then ?, it would be a popular move with quite a few players I don't know if it's actually in the petition. Personally I like open.

I'm not telling him to stop expressing his opinion, I'm asking him to stop saying that mine is invalid simply because I disagree with him. I want to have an adult conversation not one that goes "I'm right, you're wrong blows raspberry". And his comment was banal.

Just use the report button, don''t feed the trolls.. I hope at some point the Mods actually do something.
PSA: I'd expect a moderator at this point to say something like "discuss the post not the poster ...."

Maybe that's gatekeeping? I'll have to look it up on the interweb.

Dang right, its a video game no other approach makes sense.
 
The mods seem to not agree with the OP or petition and so have allowed quite a lot of trolling and off-topic convos on this thread. I'll probably get warned/temp banned for writing this lol

So, you want a serious conversation, and Stigbob wants a bit of silly. Who are we to judge either one? Asking Stigbob to be serious isn't so different than what you've labeled him: gatekeeping.

If you don't like the silly, only respond to the serious. Perfectly self policing.

Par for the course on this forum im afraid. Fedv will say "please dont leave" and tell you how much they want you to play and then you come to this forum where you get told your opinion is worthless and Fdev cant see the problem.

Not really, but it's keeping everyone in here so we can keep an eye on them... I mean things.. ;)

And if a post is moderated it tends to get deleted along with any replies so you wouldn't see them anyway.

Perhaps you could point out where my post mentioned I did not feel like I had my money's worth prior to my (and the other 17) departure?

I left for the same reason many others did, FDev kept asking for feedback and focus groups and changed nothing.

It has never been any different for PowerPlay, that is my point. We have been told that they hear us and are working on it for years now, yes, years..

If you are happy with the culture of false promises then that is fine by me, for the fun I had this game was a bargain.

I did not mean for facts to get in the way of your failed attempt at strawman condescension, please carry on.

I didn't say that, I said you were unhappy with the outcome of your choice after you explained that you were unhappy with exactly that.

Give me an example of a false promise and I'll fact you on it.
