For those who Deliberately Did Not Sign the Open Letter/Petition - Why Not?

[Gavin786]

I did not sign the petition/open letter - deliberately.

For those people, like myself, who deliberately did not sign the recent petition to Frontier, I think there needs to be a forum for their reasons to be aired. Because those voices need to be heard also and are silenced by the louder voices.

Because one of the points I strongly did not agree with.

Please give your reasons if you deliberately did not sign. Or even if you did sign but some of the points you disagreed with.

Should have posted this, just assuming everyone knew about it :-( -> https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/video-open-letter-from-community-to-elite-dangerous.524656/

I didn't sign because a) I'm lazy and b) I read I have to give my email out for that. Won't do that.

Bugfix

Betatest

Dont want the thread to descend into a discussion of my reasons. If there are good, valid discussions going on then I will throw them in later. And these were not the only points raised.

Care to enlighten us what that point was?

Anyway, why not simply post in the threadnaught?

Huh, wha? Another open letter? Which one is this again, and why should we sign it?

You only have to sign mine, concerning the snowflake bobble. No emails needed, no cash grab. Just sign on the forums.

My signature is worth a fortune. Can't give it away. Maybe for 20 Arx though...

My guess is that FDev fixes issues based on whether it makes economic sense - and that's it. I'd assume it's a calculation based on how many players (revenue) they'll lose vs how much it'd cost to fix.

I don't think my signature on a petition will swing this one way or the other.

 

[askavir]

I honestly have no clue what this is about.

I'm not going to sign a petition for some people who already pretend they speak on my behalf.

Because it would be a waste of my time when I could be doing something more useful like forum jousting.

 

[Schmack]

There are things that happen on this forum that get my attention, things I would gladly sign a petition for (or a card) or even donate money. This wasn't one. When the thread starter, though an entertaining gent, is noted for creating an account just to gank noobs during a live stream, that's not someone I will look to for guidance on how to make the game more enjoyable for all. Same for others in the pack who make their lulz in non-community focused ways.

Basically, don't prey on the community then expect them to join your cause when you feel your fun has been dampened. They've been dealing with it since the start.

 

[Mohrgan]

The petition simply didn't/doesn't reflect my views, nor how to handle such issues. The whole thing smacks of hubris. Something I avoid at all costs.

 

[Commander Biscuit]

Even though it's raining and miserable outside, it's still a better day for going outside than signing petitions.

mmmkay ... shoot!

Because one of the points I strongly did not agree with.

that's ... just ... fascinating!

To be fair, there was a thread about the petition, but the mods closed it and the discussion moved to the thread of Yamik's video.

 

[Florenus]

Regular folk complain on forums, while "important people" create "open letters".
I don't consider myself "content creator, influencer, community developer, and player group leader" entitled to create and sign such thing.

When I have something to say about the game I post it here.

 

[Seizewell Warrior]

It's just a game, at the end of the day. Bought it on a (very) sale price on Steam with the Horizons also at a discount, so I doubt FD made much money out of me.

If it stuffs up, got plenty of other games to play or real life matters to attend to.

If it vanished tomorrow and the servers went dead, well it was an interesting diversion while it lasted!

Petitions should be for real world issues that could affect quality of life (like the current political debacle in the UK) not a malfunctioning PC game!
