Well let's keep it going round and round in circles then. Seems the optimum choice.
Come on FD don't be shy, showcase your fun stuff for all the boys and girls.
If someone from Fdev streams themselves unlocking all the Guardian tech. I will eat my eye patch.

It's a pity, but you are probably correct.
It's an English thing, we love em.. along with Tea. They are often served together.
Maybe the issue is how the demand was made, what the demand was and the very specialized nature of the supposed problem.
But I thought this would be like catnip to them. Get sponsored, for charity, to showcase the latest game-play addition to the game. It's a win-win situation, no?
Oh... no. I see, actually.
Yah.
legit lol
What I want to know is who says all the guardian tech is 'meant to be' unlocked - by anyone - except maybe THE most dedicated players. Saying - there are 400 billion systems in the game, who's going to 'complete' that exploration - that maybe going a bit far but same principle? I've not been to Beagle Point either but props to anyone who has. If the tech's not worth it to you .. don't do the quest maybe?
Nail meet hammer
Lies. A crumpet is a bird.

Nothing odd about it, every time there's anything new the grinders go a bit nuts at it then complain it's grindy. Most people look on bemused wondering why anyone would ever want to unlock it all at once or even at all for that matter.
Happens every time, grinders gonna grind whilst complaining it's the default state.
It's been a long time since they responded to anything at all.
The criticism in this thread is legitimate and widely held, the manner in which some of it has been expressed is a product of FD's lack of engagement. Sticking their heads in the sand won't help and the "harvesting salt from community" comment in previous patch notes speaks volumes about the attitude of the devs.
Anyway, another thing that isn't going to happen is me opening my wallet to buy anything from the FD store. Very disappointed.
The harvesting salt comment was a joke, and it was funny for all the players it wasn't actually aimed at.
Won't change a thing. I haven't bought anything since 2016, and that was a book. Only has an effect if everyone does the same, and I have the feeling that if that happened now, ED would move to unsupported very quickly.
It's done it's job now, FD is up and running with AAA titles arriving imminently.
I won't be buying those either.
It's unfortunate this thread seems to be very close to being closed due to off-topic sniping. I'm sure that wasn't the intention by the charming peeps in question.
It seems like there's a real win/win offer on the table here.
An awful lot of money can be raised for charity. FDev would get a big stream, no doubt publicised widely, and high viewing figures. And fans might get to see what we're doing wrong; how these mechanics can be fun and engaging. It would be educational, promotional, and would raise money for charity.
All we really need at this point is someone senior to liaise with the thread to arrange a time and place for us to tune in, so we can start putting the money into a GoFundMe or what-not - ideally one set up by FDev, so we can all be confident there's no 3rd parties handling the money.
So... how can we make this happen, Mr Community Mod peeps?

Why don't you censure the commanders dragging it off topic, it's pretty obvious who they are.
If you truly believe none of the devs are going to interact with this idea / thread and you said so at the very beginning, why are there a further 100 (guestimate) posts from you in a 696 post thread?
Paging Mr D Braben, any chance of creating this charity event your customers have come up with?

Nope I've had a look at them and my first thought is I don't really need any of it/can't fit them all in my ship anyway so there's absolutely no point in considering a mass unlock spree of titanic proportions. I'd quite like to give the hybrid distro a bash and I'll probably get round to it soon, I've looked at what's involved and it doesn't seem hard at all.
There could actually be a valid point buried under all the exaggeration and "wah" but the opportunity to get it across is being squandered by the way it's being presented. Dev bashing and angry demands don't work any better than telling people to get out of the thread.
I thought this should be repeated.
Though I am far from Jukelo's perfection, and thus often at odds with his views, this is absolutely spot on, and the crux of why many people think they have to grind, and don't seem to enjoy their experience.
Elite's player base seems to consist of people who simply have to have the most expensive things in the shortest possible time, rather than actual players. Its a real shame for them that they miss out.
