While this expedition is flexible in nature, I'm not sure what the appeal is for racing ahead? The whole idea of DW is for it to be a major social event, flying with dozens of fellow players, meeting them at designated places and designated times.
There's so much to see between waypoints, there's no need to race to the next one (unless of course your time is limited and you need to plan ahead!)
Just save some stuff for the rest of us to discover
Im having the Social Aspect mostly on TS and the Waypoints (i go to them for a view hours and then move on. i dont get why you'd want ppl to return there after a view days before going to the next waypoint)
I mean im not gone Explore a route thats A already completely/moslty explored with 800 ppl doing the same thing.
I wanna fine my own route that follows the waypoints. im sure alot of ppl like that.
and i'm/were not really racing.. i mean i just played all weekend and i just have a 34LY(Laden) jump range.
In that sence i prefered the DW before it came all those roles and preperation into it that its more like a Guided Tour(sorry unGuided because we dont want to have leaders).
Say what you want but if you look at everything you've done for this thread;
1- if you prep it that much (scouting ahead for stuff like Jumponium needed, this thread have the group like with Skype or add other communication ways to this thread and all)
2- have multiple roles some of which have maybe 1% chance of being usefull
3- have interviews about this Expedition (gathering more attention to something that was already much bigger that originally planned out to be).
4- would prefer if we stay relatively close together (i asume you mean like an actual Fleet).
Can you blame ppl for looking at this like a (un)Guided tour group and considering how much came from you and Kaii they see you as leaders even tho you don't want that responsibility?
We even have ppl who never explored before, ppl who fly ships that will need alot of Jumponium just to get to beagle point. and it would be awesome to see that they make it but if cant see this as it bw
so yea, this is my opinion of it all so far.
I still want to tag along an meet up with ppl sometimes but i don't want to do it completely the way you guys ended up organizing it.
And As for communication ways (mostly repeat of whats already been answered but its part of my opinion. so feel free to skip over this).
i still don't understand whats the point of Skype and therefor i left the skype group as it was only limited to 300 ppl anyways.
Also having to type something for Social aspect actually just distracts from the game therefor i see Voicecoms AKA Teamspeak or Discord, as a much prefered option.. also alows you to get to know the ppl you explore with.
i understand some ppl not liking to have to talk i dont see how you could communicate in games without it unless like i said its gone be distracting from the game itself.
and for Announcements we now have idk how many threads on the forum + you guys could send Emails.

I hope you guys will Enjoy this Expedition as much as i do but i also hope you understand that some ppl don't completely like what its turned into. :3
Offtopic:
Took a break from the Expedition for halve a day today to visit my partially adopted Tiger (she got into a fight with her sister :/ and they had to be seperated for the moment)
