Ever visited a german forum?
ANY german forum for that matter.

Actually, Frontier has a very sophisticated pizza delivery system.
I agree in principle with what you say, freemium is a tacky concept, and arx almost qualifies in that category. However, it's simply a matter of perspective. You can also see it as similar to doing daily quests in any other mmo, is that a tacky mechanism to keep people playing and spending? WoW also has lots of cosmetics that are cash only...
Shouldnt you be crusading on games that ACTUALLY do that though ?
Fortnite
Csgo
Tf2
Basically any kiddoe game ?
And directly dipped into one of the most toxic forum-community / gamemode (Open) ever existed in the entire universe. To BOLDLY Go... /sSNIP
I quit because the community there was just awful. I got tired of the toxicity :c
It's something I'm considering updating in the next patch.
Also, removing the color blue is not good enough.

uhm...no I definitly don't think that way. Tried to be a BIT sarcastic (did you see the little "/s"?)Oh sweet summer child...
You seriously think the Elite community is "one of the most toxic" communities on the internet? And if you do, why are you still here?

This is why Frontier doesn't fix ED on consoles - look at all the money they make from folks like you and me who buy the game AGAIN for PC (and then cosmetics). It almost makes me think they broke the console versions on purpose!Because I just can't bring myself to re-buy paint jobs on the PC which I already purchased on the XBOX :-(
Because it's a fully priced game with DLCs. It is neither a f2p nor a mobile game. You can argue that many other games are doing that, but that does not make it right. Look at the witcher 3, NMS or all sony exclusives. The budget of these games blow ED's out of the water (except NMS) yet they do not include predatory micro-transactions. Defending microtransactions in game is really beyond me even if you're in love with the game(I like the game). Even games like Apex legends which is a completely f2p games are easier to obtain skins and cosmetics than ED. Just before last update these skins were only obtainable with money which was far worse than now. Now their prices got inflated and the time requirements is comparable to the time to get Proxima B.Why?
Well, this is going to be easy:Because it's a fully priced game with DLCs. It is neither a f2p nor a mobile game. You can argue that many other games are doing that, but that does not make it right.

I know the state of the gaming industry right now, but you can still make money with out these predatory practices. I am gonna say it again: Remove ARX cap and lower prices so that people would get a ship kit in less than 2 years. Even the argument that people use pro-skin MT can in fact be used against it as these skins add nothing to the game of value so they should be obtainable in-game with reasonable amount of time (don't mind few exclusive skins). You should be chargedonlymainly for DLCs like horizons or if you want to instantly buy some skins because you can't wait to get it in-game.

That's exactly how it works now.
No. That's literally exactly how the game works now.Really? I do not think so. Have you read this part : "I am gonna say it again: Remove ARX cap and lower prices so that people would get a ship kit in less than 2 years."

Your statement didn't specify how quickly you wanted to get things, so I'm still correct.Really? I do not think so. Have you read this part : "I am gonna say it again: Remove ARX cap and lower prices so that people would get a ship kit in less than 2 years."
It also really doesn't help when he's grossly exaggerating the actual time to obtain these things. If a ship kit is 13k arx that's 32 weeks of just playing the game normally and presto, every year you get a free ship kit and paint job worth of the stuff like it's a christmas present or annual bonus.Your statement didn't specify how quickly you wanted to get things, so I'm still correct.
You didn't show any rationale for removing the ARX cap, it's just a thing you want - and we had a whole thread on this topic already.
