It is.
The decisions leading to bugs being persistent for 18+ months are the problem.
Compare your friends list 6 months ago with your friends list now. Mine is shortened to what? 25%? I'm |----| this short of going on a last exploration trip as in "will come back in 6 months, if everything is the same, I'm permanently off".
You shouldn't get one major thing wrong: People are still playing because of all the time and grind invested, not because of joy. At least the ones complaining.
In one word: Nope.
We got eternal jumps, jumps into stations, still a huge instancing problem, still wings not working correctly, still the strange wanted bug still... the emphasis on stability and get-rid-of-the-nuisance is not present. Neither is a real approach to balancing. The first tuned up sociopaths are appearing in the starter systems. In a few weeks, there will be havoc. The guy who emptied Leesti a year ago is trying to do so @ Eravate. It's an utter mess at the moment and it will get worse.
Wow, insulting. How about "hey, fanboy, let us cry so you can lift yourself up on being a tough pro player worshipping FDev"? That would be about the same although I DO NOT SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Seriously: New players are quitting, old players are leaving because they realize it's YOUR approach that leads to FDev being overconfident.
READ THE REVIEWS - they are not biased.
I meet newbies every single day. Guess what the most used sentences are?
"None of my friends plays this game. I bought it although they laughed at me for all the bad reviews. Encountered quite some bugs, but people are nice and it's a dream of mine to fly through the galaxy"
---> If there was another product with a procedural galaxy I would give it a try as this is the only product of its kind.
Wait for some contender to appear and ED is history. I don't want that to happen, so I COMPLAIN to IMPROVE things. Get it? Not a crybaby... not in the least.

PS:
In 9 out of 10: YES. Then comes nr 10 and rips you apart. Conda with a huge power distributor and a turn rate of a DBS. Mind you, I'm not a PvP novice. It's the inconsistency, one doesn't know anymore if an elite conda is weak, medium, hard, unbearable. SURPRISE!
