Ok, another 300M/h skimmer related thread.
Few days ago we all saw threads with guides on how to get rich fast using recent skimmer missions. Today I watched Obsidian's Ant video and those missions were removed "for investigation". I won't lie, wanted to run it myself to boost my balance a bit so I could try few things that I cannot due to lack of necessary credit amounts. But swift FDEVs reaction made it non issue.
But there are CMDRs who took massive advantage from it. Hearing from those honest it's pretty common that av. net was around 2 BILLION. Now, that cash would set me for a while and I could focus on actually playing the game as I want instead of ever putting my plans on hold and focusing on tedious credit earning.
Since FDEVs removed that skimmer missions I wonder what they will do about all that billions that were made from it before their action. I'm not seeking retribution toward those who made those billions. Their wealth, ability to buy and outfit anything far superior to what i have doesn't affect me as I play mostly solo. Their gain is not my loss (can't say that for those PvPers).
But question remains, although it's not an easy one: will FDEVs take actions toward those billions? They clearly stated that earning that amounts of credits are wrong. So all those billions were earned due to system error.
I realize that with above question I stir a hornet's nest. CMDRs are somewhat divided when it comes to credits. Some say they are irrelevant (mostly those who have abundant amounts of credits themselves and for them they ARE irrelevant; or those who found their niche and don't have reasons to get large amounts of credits). Other say credits are scarce to get while prices are absurd and those who have credits have advantage over those who don't have them. And quickly getting billions create unfair advantage.
I don't want to cause another forum war. I think we should plea FDEVs to give us plain and simple answer about credits, their role, availability and expected earning amounts. Current system is flawed, lack of solid info doesn't help and "skimmer-gate" situations spread confusion.
I believe current situation with that alrge credit influx due to bugged mission system is a good reason to "force" some community-developers talk.
