Dear Frontier
In the past couple of months there have been about a half dozen GalNet articles encouraging players to sell Meta Alloys in order to achieve some unspecified goal for an nondescript reward. Not only that, but we've had 2 CGs that involved selling MA to Obsidian Orbital. I'm going to be frank here. The first CG was an absolute kick in the pants. Absolutely NO story progression until we asked "what happened to the Meta Alloys?" in a player submitted GalNet article. The explanation you gave was "they were stolen". So not only did you keep that from us, and didnt explain until we asked, but you completely made our week of effort pointless.
We are fully aware of your efforts to prod us into fixing stations. We just don't care. We had suggested making special modules out of MA since February. If we could see that as players, why did it take so long for you to implement? Rather than saying "sorry we lost them" and giving us a second CG, nearly carbon copy of the original, you should have just given us something for the first CG. Quite a slap in the face.
The worst part is, in order to harvest Meta Alloys players are forced to mode switch to cause them to respawn. The CG was spent switching from open/solo/group and honestly, we would not have succeeded if not for that "exploit" or what ever you want to call it. When a CG (a carbon copy, same station, same goal) is only reachable through the use of an immersion breaking method, we begin to lose a bit of patience. Now we're seeing GalNet articles that continue to prod us into harvesting and selling Meta Alloys and honestly, I dont know a single Canonn member who is pleased with this. I know some guys who have sold over 1,000 MA to shut down stations. I know some guys who have done more than that for BOTH community goals.
Your track record with Meta Alloys the moment is 1 useless outcome, and 1 useful outcome. Combined with a horrible farming method, things are not looking good. Please do not use this method to advance the plot in the future. We know you want us to sell Meta Alloys to cure stations. It will happen, we will get there but you're going to have to be patient, we simply stopped caring. Either fix them now or expect this will take a while. Publishing more GalNet articles about selling MA to broken stations won't help us along, it only makes us cringe. ohsev
