So many people complaining about Elite being far too much of a grind.... And i'm getting a bit tired of hearing it.
The reason that those people find it a grind, mostly do so because they are choosing to grind......
You don't have to have the biggest ship fully kitted out and a zillion credits in the bank.... You can just play the game....
But the problem is that FD have not given us much reason to just play.....
The conundrum is that people are grinding towards an objective because there are no objectives that do not require grind.....
What is needed is more player interaction that people can just enjoy playing with / against each other.
For example, make PvP piracy a real thing that you can actually do, enjoy doing, and make a career from.
make PvP bounty hunting a real thing that you can also do, enjoy doing, and make a career from.
Make the criminal record, similar to a 'rank' that is much more persistent, so that you really have to consider which path you go down.
