I have never seen anyone post claiming there are no problems with EDO at all. Please reference the post.
Some of us still enjoy it, and at the same time are annoyed with the issues. I personally love EDO, enjoy it in its current state, but I definitely want FDev to continue to fix the MANY problems, including the non-optimized performance. I'm grateful I have the top end hardware where I can enjoy EDO, but performance is gating many folks enjoyment and that has to be cleaned up.
Am I one of these White Knights you loath? Since I enjoy playing EDO as is, even though annoyed at times, I guess I may be. I am disappointed that Frontier released EDO in this condition, that was really a bad call. But I still play it, enjoy it, and more than willing to give FDev a chance to clean EDO up, if they can. I hope they can. Time will tell.
