Another ARX thread (Complaint)

Do explorers need ARX at all ?.

Its not like there's anyone around to gaze adoringly at their puce type 10 if they are outside cashing in range.
 
Have you ever heard the phrase "Time is money"? Industry research showed that this behavior was going to happen. Now that there is an in game currency that equates to real world cash, people will be judging their time vs. their income based on earn rates. Each minute you're playing for ARX to supplement your real world costs pushes you to look for the most efficient method for making ARX. ARX = CASH! Most people will pursue the most efficient way to earn the most money in the shortest amount of time.

It's a minuscule amount of pseudo-cash that cannot be redeemed for hard currency. CBA tells me it's not worth chasing at the cost of enjoyment.

I'm an Explorer, I've spent the last 2 weeks in and around the bubble, doing missions making some extra coin and doing some Engineering. I've made 400 points both weeks. When I come back from exploring, I'll dump all my data at the first stop, it's payday. The fact I'll also likely max out my Arx is part of that. I don't consider that I've 'lost' or 'wasted' any points because I know I'll acquire enough data between now and my next visit to a station to make another 400. While I'm out exploring, I'm not making big Arx. big deal, that's part of the payday at the end.
 
I'm sorry but...


Why do people care about ARX? I mean... it doesn't add anything to gameplay, it doesn't change things for the better, it doesn't really change the way you play the game... Ultimately it causes you to buy something with real cash anyway...

Just seems like yet more pointless crap designed to extract more money from people, and causes yet more negativity on the forums, and about the game in general.

Ahh, but apparently it does cause people to change how they play.. For 30p..

I feel this is a mirror situation. It's negative if you're negative, it's positive if you're positive. I haven't spent any money since arx came out but I now have more nifty decals. 🤷‍♂️

Except, I haven't bought any.
Arx certainly seems to generate a lot of pointless posts though.
Doesn't it...
:D
 
Did a bit of engineering yesterday, visited all needed engineers for experimentals, unlocked Broo, Arx capped before end of the day...

Now will be seeking HGE USS's for a while :)

The raider packages are very good for explorers and miners RPG.
Last year I bought the one for the AspX and it's cool 'cause you can see the cage from the inside.
