I don't get paid enough for this job.

You use fanboi as if it is a curse. There is nothing wrong with liking a game and being sick of people making new threads to cover topics that have been beaten to death in other threads or addressing issues that are being worked out in the beta. Its like every attention prostitute in the forums is having anxiety that their wall of text will be invalidated by 1.1 so they are rushing to flood the boards with redundant threads.

What did they do it 1.1 to change how repetitive and boring this game is. In fact it's even more of a grind fest now. No improved content, just tweaks to slow everyone down.

And a fanboi is not someone who loves the game, there is nothing wrong with that. A fanboi is someone who loves the game so much they feel some sort of weird identity with it, so they take any criticism personally and feel compelled to defend the game, no matter have reasonable the criticism, usually aggressively by making fun of the critic, and telling then to go play something else. You get them in every game and every forum.

Have you seen the extremely lengthy patch notes? Did you bother to read them, or did you just see the wall of text and assume it was just fluff. I am assuming you are on the younger side of the median age of Elite players or else you are just extremely impatient.

I like this game too, and I want to see all these things come to be available as well. I am just not up in arms about it and have the ability to be patient (within reason).

I saw the patch notes, answer the question then.
What did they do to make this game any less boring and repetitive in 1.1? Can you tell me because I can't see anything.

Do people do this with other games? Contact the company and say 'I find your game boring, I'm off to play elsewhere'. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Sadly, people do it with EVERY GAME because they can, because of the anonymity of the internet and sense of entitlement. Even some of the best games ever made are going to have forum or e-mail complainers, such is life in the digital age. I just love it when they state their opinion as a fact that everyone agrees with! ;-)

OP - Hope you find a game you enjoy!

Well said. A forum is a place to discuss opinions and share reasonable thoughts. Give people something to read on a particular topic.
Except this style of post does not intend to discuss an opinion or share reasonable thought .

Re-read the OP. He simply makes a statement that signs of with "I'm going to play other games" so I take it he is not after response, feedback, discussion etc etc because he is off to play other games having finally left ED behind

Only, it's unlikely he has actually left because this is just another rage quit post, the ones full of self important rage which the OP believes which shake the foundations of FD to the ground just. To. Get. Him. Back

like another poster above said, the reality is, no one cares about these overly emotive drama-filled rants
 
let me repeat

Let me repeat that. PUNISHMENT. IS. NOT. FUN. OR. GAMEPLAY.

But risk is fun
 
That might mean ED has no playerbase left, so no point in keeping the servers up..... Hence the death of the game.

I for one hope people stay, and FD act on the constructive criticism.

Believe me, for any of you there are 10 enjoying the game ;)

it seems everyone has a definition of fanboi, fanboy, Griefer, ganker. And the myriad of other terms used to simply pigeon hole a perspective different to that which you agree with. There are whole threads arguing about what exactly a definition is or isn't

take your definition, you can apply that to almost any post by any critic of ED on these forums. People who cannot accept that others may just not agree with their position.
 
Nah but I ma sure we could make an exception for you seeing your post history...

Really, all you do here on this is tell people to stop playing the game and call them names.

You're right, that was just my definition, as I was explaining what I think a 'fanboi' was. although I didn't actually call him that.
 
Oh look, yet another thread in the never ending flow of "I have issues". Is there any point on making a new thread on this? By all means add your thoughts to one of the existing ones but do we really need to beat that poor dead horse in an unoriginal way? Think about Magna Carta, did she die in vain?

You do realize that you basically called the game itself a "dead horse", right? Have you resigned yourself to the possibility that no improvements are going to be made to this game?

People involve themselves in different methods of consumerism. Some people complain loudly, whereas other people boycott silently. Those that state their opinions (at least those that are able to provide decent points as to what is actually WRONG with a product) are certainly more helpful to the designers of a product than those that just simply stop buying a product. Companies usually want to know what their customer base desires. A silent yet steady loss of sales might be desirable to other customers, but not necessarily to the company themselves.
 
I support OP. Just because their opinion is against the grain doesnt mean it has no merit... They didnt lie.

Honestly, blowing people off in a sarcastic or smart alec manner is doesnt prove anything. It would actually be better if you didnt post all if you cant agree or come up with a legitimate argument.
+1 the world would be a better place.
 
I am not telling no one to stop playing the game, just to stop posting insults to people who are enjoying the game. And if you don't enjoy, weeeeell... bye bye

You, on the other hand are just trolling and flame baiting people. Feel free to report me and see if I broke any forum rule
 
Please really go though, no hanging round here poisoning the well for everyone

Yes you did, and accused him of poisoning the well for everyone. I don't agree with everything he says, but I can't stand the amount of people here that just have a go at any criticism of the game. Counter his points, disagree, fine. You are poison.

Yes, because it's me insulting people for liking something I don't like (childish) and having temper tantrums. Get lost

Nah, mate, your the worst kind. You act as though you own the high ground, like you work for FD, you condescend, belittle, you do insult (you January accounts... yes, its insulting) and you have a habit of being personally nasty with new forum users.
I personally actually find your discourse frequently among the most worthless of all posts on a given day, yet you do it constantly and uninhibited by Mod or moral.
Kudos.
