i follow and love the game, when they announce that fact, 16 minutes later i see the notification on my smartphone about a new post from elite dangerous on facebook that explain the situation, im pretty sure they do the same on X.

i simply "follow" on social media and i use notification

I dont use X or Facebook. i have my reasons not relevant to here.

I DO follow the official forums and there is an in game announcement feature.....
Specifically in this instance i could not comment on how it was broadcast but FD do have recent form of posting in other places rather than or at least before in game or on the official forums.

its a valid complaint imo.

as for your nonsense about carebears and what not.... yeah what ever!.

I use X and Facebook, etc etc but how many times have I checked these sites and even the forums before I do something in-game. I'm not asking for much. FDev shoots off messages all the time when they want to bring down servers etc. An in-game announcement is all I was asking for. Just have a little common courtesy FDEV and show a little love for your player base.

FDEV please have the courtesy to contact the player base by other means besides twitter in regards to suspension or nerfing of gameplay. Yesterday, you folks decided
to suspend merits on rare goods while I was in-game and collecting, grinding so I can unlock modules and I did not receive a message that you were taking this measure.
The only way I found out that merits for rares were suspended was due to my search to see if this was a bug.

A friendly in-game mail telling the players that this was going to occur and the time it was going to happen would of been the courteous thing to do. I traded 2160 tons of rares which would've given me 78588 merits and some more ranks for my favorite modules. Sure, I gained some credits(profits) but since I have over 54 billion and don't need credits the time and effort I put in yesterday was futile.

I am a C.E.O. of a software company, and I love to play Elite it's my only vice. One thing I learned in running a company and trying to grow is not to turn off the current clients I have so that they negatively rate my products or services which will have a negative impact on my growth. NERFING is not content. Suspending gameplay and changing your minds every other day, on aspects of this new powerplay system is turning off the players. Make up your minds, make the change and stick with it. And recompense those who have been hurt by this new suspension.

Agreed, I think it should all be in game and I don’t have twitter either. Mind you, I got bored with rares so quickly it wasn’t going to affect me. 😅
