Pay to win model would ruin the game for me. Bad, bad idea.

They have repeatedly stated unequivocally that this will never happen...
David Braben himself has stated many times that he is totally opposed to 'pay to win'.
If they change their stance on this then I, and I would assume many others would leave...
It's dead, Jim. Actually at first FD had stated that there would be credits for cash sold through the Frontier store. Heads assploded, dire threats were issued, the stars trembled in their courses - mass hysteria. The idea was dropped. Like 2 years ago.
That reasoning sounds good to me, and I definitely would NOT be one of the ones with a busy life buying the creds (the guy talking about being lazy made me chuckle). But as you can no doubt see, I hold a minority view on this subject.

Devs have said no.
Anyone who wants that should stop playing and leave. Please.

Congratulations, you have a job!
Sounds EVE is much better suited for you. A Titan is only a few thousand USD, you can be flying one tomorrow!
i have a job too, but hey. i aint complaining and whining that moneymaking is hard. That costs time, and i prefer to use that time with moneymaking. And you know what? Nothing earns you more money than money!
play the game and stop complaining already
i am an adult with a family and a job. Anyone using that as an excuse to want to be able to pay-to-win is... well. This forum censors me from expressing what i consider that excuse to be. if you're too busy to play a game you're too busy to play a game - no ruining it for everybody else.
First off:
Many people have full time jobs but still can't afford to funnel money beyond the box-purchase price into a video game. So really Pay 2 win just means 'i have a job irl where my disposable income is so excessive that instead of spending money on my family and home i can buy assets in a video game'. People who can do that are not the average joe with a family and a job.
Second off:
Pay 2 win destroys the game for anyone not willing to pay 2 win. Most people on this planet play video games for fun - not for a farmville experience.
Anyone who supports actual enjoyable games based on player ability and not-income should oppose play 2 win. Play 2 win is the ultimate entitled spoiled rich child who wants their money to buy them out of everything in life.
tl;dr - Pay to win is a cancer that is terrible for gaming.

Terrible idea it would effectively stop you from playing the game, got blown up ? , hah just buy credits
ensurance would be useless and getting killed would be a joke instead of painfull to your credit balance
this in itself could cause major issues and cause a trainwreck.
You can argue that its not pay to win because there is no end game but i think you can still put it in the pay
to win category if this would happen , but i dont see this happening it would be bad for this game and i am
glad that they decided not to do this and just go with vanity items and paid expansions , this will cover the cost
and makes sure you cannot buy any sort of advantage.
Besides all that who would actually want to do this ?
so now you got your asp but no idea how to play the game or reason to play it ?
you got the credits you dont want to trade or bounty hunt ? but you got your asp....
yeah... makes no sence to me at all.

I'm not whining that money making is hard, its actually quite easy with Rares, etc. Just stated my opinion.
I'm also glad you have a job ;-)
yes me too. I can buy all(most) all the stuff that i do not need, but what i want.
On the other hand...your opinion sucks
