Everyone should get free plasma. I think I'm going to liberally distribute some this weekend.
Frontier: give the FSD to ALL players, regardless of whether they took part or not
- Thread starter Non Grata
- Start date
Perhaps, but changing the rules after the event is particularly notable.
You're right of course.
Another one is those that took part in only one of the two CGs - with hindsight they potentially could have finished in the top 75% of both.
Also people with multiple accounts.
I like your solution.
I think the best approach was with the AX weapons CG where they became available on the market to purchase. That being said, I didn't participate in CG (couldn't get to my PC all weekend) so wouldn't expect to be rewarded.
I like the way you think
Actually I do realise that - I'm one of those people too.
But their undoing of their own rules is a slap in the face to many other players. Obviously they can't change it back to 25%. All they can do now is chuck free stuff at people, with those in the top 25% getting more than the rest.
What about the men and women in the street who don't have Elite Dangerous, or even a computer? They should receive the reward too.
hahaha ow this done me
Well, for my own reasons, I couldn't do this CG at all this time.
Should I get a free over-engineered FSD?
No.
Even if I had done this CG I would I have gotten into the top 25%?
Probably not.
Tough luck for me I suppose.
And since I don't believe in Santa I don't suppose I'll get one shoved down the chimney of my nearest fleet carrier.
I'll wait for another CG, try my hardest to prevail and get whatever that CG has to offer.
I just couldn't put the time into this particular CG, this time. Too bad for me I don't get the gold this time.
Onwards and upwards.
o7!
No, because none of them will have lost out as a result of FD's changes to the competition's rules after the event.
While implicit in my post, I'll make it clear that since FD can't determine which players did lose out, the only way they can put it right is to give the thing to everyone that may have.
So, in a previous thread, Frontier gives in after feedback from the community, i.e.
And now in this thread, some contend that because of Frontier's generosity over a poorly sponsored CG, that those who did not participate are also "entitled"?
As well, some here have questioned Frontier's giveaway of soley "exclusive" items as rewards, reiterating those exclusive rewards should also be made available to all.
Frankly, it seems when Frontier does something out of generosity, some in the community push for more. When Frontier offers an exclusive reward for a purchase or participation in an event, some in the community seem offended or deprived. Then relentless threads start over these issues, with all manner of reasons for or against these entitlements or exclusivity.
How petty can you be.
Very rarely, if ever, has anyone in this community, in any thread I have read in six plus years, said "Thank You, Frontier" or "It's Appreciated, Frontier" for anything Frontier has done for the community and not many here have shown any gratitude what-so-ever.
I did not participate in the CG and I don't deserve the item. But that does not mean I am not thankful for Frontier's generous offer had I chose to participate. Frontier's generosity also extends to ARX, which I also appreciate and thank Frontier for.
There will always be those who want something for nothing, those who believe they are entitled, and those who believe they are exclusive.
I'm just not one of them.
So, THANK YOU FRONTIER, for the ARX, the Cobra IV, the Eagle, the FSD, the Black Friday Paintjob, the Azure Paintjob, the Free Horizons, the Free Elite Dangerous with Horizons, and all the other things I cannot remember right now.
Oh, Seven....

Can we speed up the Thargoid storyline to where they kill everyone?
Please.
Please.
Which bit of "If you didn't take part in the CG then you are not entitled to the reward" is hard for you to understand?
Frontier set the bar at 25%, then lowered it to 75%, that alone is very generous. They didn't have to do that, and could have left it at 25%.
For people to ask Frontier for more is simply greedy and entitled.

tbh, I love the idea of giving Rewards only to those that earned them.
In the past, you could be a 100% passive bystander - and still reap in "Global Rewards" all the time.
Dunno, would feel unfair when comparing i.e. me doing absolutely nothing (missing the whole thing) and suddenly finding free stuff in my Storage or reaping in benefits for something I never lifted a finger for.
Folks hauling in xx.xxx tons of stuff or grinding the CG otherwise did a lot of work, so I applaud them getting properly rewarded, especially (which btw. was one of my very own old CG Rewards suggestions) with things that go beyond boring ol' Credits.
If anything, interesting Rewards coupled to CGs might be better off being advertised ahead of time, so folks can prepare themselves if they're interested and be on location when it starts.
I fully understand some very interested folks being surprised and ending up being unable to join in time due to fast completion.
This "advertise sexy stuff ahead of time" should greatly help getting everyone onboard as much as possible.
CGs come and go - but if there's 1 out of 10 that offers something of great interest, folks not closely following CGs all the time have a chance to pick up the chatter and move in.

If you mean Cats from Zero Wing, that would be one hell of a powerplay leader.
If you HAD taken part, but didn’t reach the top 25%, you STILL wouldn’t deserve the FSD. Yet here we are.
Remembering that they’re playing a game is what got us here. Games have rules.
