Either way the horse is dead. Just like powerplay.
You are in official capacity, you know. Wherever you've paid salary does not really matter. You should think how its actually seen.
That's certainly one opinion. Many, many others are also available.
I knew this was another 'game is dead thread'.

It must be Schrodinger's horse then - it depends on your point of view whether it is alive or dead....
Kinda does. They're volunteers, not staff. They don't get paid for it and they're certainly not here to 'big up' the game. They're here to maintain forum rules. And if they choose to post without their moderator hat on, then they're just a player like you or I.
I bet they will lose their hat pretty quick if they will start posting criticism though.

Not in any way official, no.
Moderators are volunteers drawn from the userbase of the forums - I was a member here for over two years before being asked. Like other users, Moderators are permitted to participate in threads and hold opinions (and do not Moderate threads that they participate in).
Ok, I will give it benefit of doubt if you show me a mod who is openly critical of the game.
Edit: actual link would be nice, not just saying "they criticising it all the time".

There is a lot of sand in this sandbox, but maybe the wrong type of sand for certain player types.
Don't get me wrong, more "sand" is always good in my opinion, but it needs to fit the game - in my opinion.
For me ED isn't a game where the player builds an empire. Adding more "sand" for that, would be wrong in my opinion.
And on the other hand a lot of recent threads on this forum demand more and better "theme park rides". They want the Thargoid story to be faster paced, they want more things to do with the Thargoids, they want Thargoid fights be better theme-park-raid-boss-monsters and so on.
Others want the contrary of that.

I have seen mods with their own complaints about the game.
just look at Robert Maynard... he is ALWAYS complaining that there should only be one mode, open and that PvP is the only activity which should matter and all carebears should find another game
******that last bit may not be true... but the 1st sentence is for sure

They post critisism all the time where its valid and call bull where it is valid too.
Nice of you.
Thats a pretty lame post sir. Plenty of Mods are critical of the game, and from a very simple quick search here is just one of very many examples....

Heres another really POPULAR OPINION for why powerplay is not used very much.
https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDange...play_imperials_and_grom_fight_with_no_honour/
But hey its these forums that matter? And the same lines of text from the same 7 people. All were missing in the 3 other guys. One of them has a wall of text he likes to post.
It sure was nice not seeing those people and having a great and meaningful discussion where people got along and agreed with each other over this certain topic.
But hey you guys go ahead. Talk it up. Nit pick and try to shut down all the comments.
This ride is about to come to a full and complete stop. If it doesnt. The same problems exist as they are now. And you will just have people coming and going once they see its the same redundant thing you were doing when you started this game.
I love this game, and im not about to let the same people hold it back because they would rather abuse multiplayer features in solo and private. Modes that scream, I dont want to play with anyone else.
Absurd. And shameful to boot.
Thank you for concrete example. I apologise for being clueless and retract my earlier comments.
On the first page. Was not difficult to find.
