Time to abandon it

After many years of play I think it's time to abandon it, in the end you realize that the game has too many limits that I hope will be introduced in the future, now everything is limited to grinding and making money and once you get the ship and build properly you have finished the game because everything only leads to making money and nothing else, everything brings you back to this.
For years people have been asking for storage in the stations for the materials and resources collected, being able to walk on the planets and build outposts, add a videochat directly in game with the group's participants, as they are doing on Star Citizen, an audio / video player, make the planets with realistic textures and not all the same with a single color pattern, there is no life in this game and maybe they will be limits of the engine, but I believe it is the lack of desire of the devs to improve the game by investing money, but obviously it is more important to sell skins, what is left to do in this game? jump from one system to another, farming, do missions to get only to make money, too little, there is no capital ship where you could invite party players, it would be more fun to be able to manage the entire ship, mining on foot and missions, I lost all interest, perhaps the new players have not yet understood but at a certain point yes and the money is of no use.

You should look in to No man's sky or X4. They don't have all the feature you want but enough to keep you playing something.
 
I'm sorry you lost interest in ED but I'm sorta in the same boat.
When they screw up this new "fix" for the long scan times using the fss then I'm afraid it ends for me as well.

I like exploring best and I've been doing other stuff while waiting for a fix for the long scan times which ruined exploring for me.
When this new mechanic is as lackuster as the thing we had or worse then I'm out too.
I'm not angry though, I've had my share of fun in ED, around 3000 hours, well worth my money.

I would love to keep playing ED but when the fun is gone I see no point in doing so.

There are other ways to play the game (e.g. role-playing like Isinona, getting involved in racing, planetary circumnavigation or other player group activities). These rarely lead to making money which means they're not a means to an end which means there's doesn't have to be an end. ... well, at least not until your imagination and willingness to be involved run out.

You're right about the money tho' - ultimately it's no use and any gameplay focused around making it will ultimately grind to a halt ... ooh, see what I (accidentally) did there? "grind" to a halt! 😄

If you like the idea of a game where you can really immerse yourself in making and spending money then you might want to give Eve online a go! Any comparisons with Star Citizen need to wait until it's actually out.

This.

Nobody’s meant to play a given game forever. You play until it isn’t fun for you anymore and then you move on to one of the tens of thousands of other games out there.

That’s the cycle of gaming life. It’s amazing how many people around these parts have forgotten that.
yes but, its weird to grow out of jump rope and come back into the yard with the kids still playing just to announce "this game offers nothing for me now."
