Another ARX thread (Complaint)

I manage to max out my arx (never used any yet though...) in about 3-4 days. I use my armed trader to run those elite cargo missions, and I take those 17 mil pirate assignation missions. Sometimes I will go to a haz res for a bit just for a little break. Nothing special. I'm lucky to make a few mil here and there, but I'm not chasing credits.

Exactly.... I don't get all those complaints about ARX being exploitative and stuff like that.... you get them for nothing now, before that, you got nothing without paying for paintjobs, kits et al. now all you do is play the game and watch them grow.

So what are they complaining about really, that the speed at which they get the FREE Arx disappoints them or that certain tasks are rewarded better than others? Must be something like that.

..... Honestly, I still don't get it though.... LOL

Guide / Tutorial - ARX Earning Guide

ARX Earning Guide You can earn up to 400 ARX per week. The week runs between the 07:00 UTC (Game time) Thursday restarts. Any ARX not earned in the week are 'lost' (i.e. if you earn 300 ARX one week you will still only be able to earn 400 next week, not 500). ARX do not expire - once you earn...

I think if certain playstyles earn you significant more free sex there is nothing wrong with pointing it out as long as we don't complain about it.

I'm not sure why people expect FD to give more arx for their time. FD don't want to give all their cosmetics away without people actually paying for them. I see it as a small reward for playing which could help me purchase something from the store if I want it. I don't like the way it's implemented within the game but I can happily ignore it. :)

5 hours of play time. Mined and sold 522 tons of Painite for 400,000,000+. Got a wopping 3 arx. What gives FDEV? Not once have I broken 100 Arx in a week.

I'v had worse....I once got 0 arx for a few hours of Mining Painite. Two things sprung to mind since it's introduction....

1. Doing the same thing over, like Mining the same ring & going to the same Station to sell, yields no arx.

2. Unless you're pewpewing or dumping a :poop:load of Exploration data, your gonna struggle to max out in a given week.

It's well, well over a year since I bought a cosmetic, so I'm less concerned.
Though those who pay regularly for stuff must feel like being given the 'two finger's salute' from Frontier, if they have to play the game FD's way to get these measly 'rewards':(

The largest number of free ARX is given when exchanging materials or minerals from merchants. Often more than a hundred.

It is very imbalanced at the moment.

Not sure FD have any plans to do something about this but probably best not to think about it.

I'm exploring at the moment and this is particularly silly, next to no ARX for the exploring part, all the ARX for handing in the data - so much so that from an ARX perspective you're better off sitting at port selling data off over a period of weeks to maximise you ARX return.
I really couldn't be bothered with that, the game actively encouraging me to stop playing for some number of weeks? That is a tad silly. So I ignored it, sold up and moved on.

Probably best not to think about the free ARX, they weren't there before so best to forget about them now and just have fun.
Or something like that anyway :)
