Yes, I know there is a group of players for whom flying 124 straight-line AB routes with zero events is riveting excitement. I dont want to take it from you, I wish you many thousands more of these adventures.
I just wish FD would be bothered to add some gameplay for those who want something a bit more engaging. Your fun is basically a parody of the FedEx quest of 90s RPGs, but with all the actual gameplay stripped out of it. I think FD should be able to do a bit better. :?
Also, many people do whatever is most profitable regardless of how enjoyable it is. Hence the reputation of ED as being a mindless credit grinder. Having the least challenging and most repetitive activity earn the most might appeal to a subset of ED gamers, it is pretty much frowned upon by everyone else.
The assumptions are strong in this post. I haven't done trading for years. But I also don't begrudge those who enjoy using that as an excuse to fly their ships.
And I also would not object to new gameplay - but I suspect that is what Odyssey is about.
