waiting for them to fix mining before playing

SWTOR.....new....2011 game. As long as you like rotation based combat mechanics still you'll be fine.

Also it's not exactly a shining example of an F2P model either.....

Oh and to the overly triggered weirdos, I was just making sure he knows theres a whole rest of the game to play.

No point in mining if you aren't going to bother doing anything else. What did people do before mining existed?
 
I don't care what the game is or isn't meant for. I only got it to mine and two weeks after I bought it, mining broke.
Who told you Elite was a mining game? Were you fooled into buying ED by one of those Youtube celebrities? "Get rich in Elite" videos are made by Nigerian princes, so be careful what who believe!
 
OP joined forums 35 minutes ago :ROFLMAO:

So? I only joined the forums a few days ago, been playing for 2 months and change.

I'm sure he's aware. Mining just seems to be his preferred activity in game. There is a point so long as it's defined by the player. For all we know, OP is a working dad with limited play time and enjoys mining and making his credits for an hour or two a night, a few days out of the week, and since it's a lax and easy going activity with little danger, it's his modus operandi.

What did people do before mining? Those who played Elite probably did other things and post-mining, those who joined for mining well... mined.
 
No you're just being an absolutist, and that's why you don't get it. You'd be happier if you saw things from all perspectives instead of splitting the conversation.

right... but like i alluded to... things like smuggling have been completely broken for far longer than mining.

Why should mining get a free pass to jump the queue?

And besides, as many have alluded to, mining still works.

Something wrong with this that the OP can't do?

It is just all very amusing to me...if the poor bloke actually did buy the game just to mine, I do feel sorry for him...but I suspect he didn't. It smacks of "Newb cracked that egg for credits but now doesn't know what to do with the omelette."

Even that question..."what did people do before mining?" What's the bit you left out? (For credits) is the answer. What did people do (for credits) before mining? When the game first came out, it didn't even have limpets. You had to manually scoop every fragment. Mining in 1.0 was remarkably frustrating and tedious work and you worked and flew for every credit. Now you can wing mine and strip an entire asteroid belt in a week and buy a few Cutters and a Carrier to boot. Or shoot the same stupid rock and eggsploit your way to Carrier.

It was broken and needed fixing. It's unfortunate that you came in mid-story arc, though. New guys don't have a context and I do see how this could take them aback.
