Greetings,
It's a Forum thing. Negative posts are always on the Forum just like every other game forum but don't really reflect the millions of players who purchased ED. They just get more play as people are attracted to negatives and respond. Typically the more replies usually means there is a negative debate/fight/personal attack involved at times. I often get the impression that some hate the game and are there to post negatively at every opportunity as a revenge to punish Frontier. Others expect the game to work based on their experience and then their perception of how it should be played getting demanding and very defensive per their position. The more ego the less they will listen. Still that is their choice.
Some criticisms are very constructive and worth discussion but often get lost in the redirections others attempting to promote their position versus the original thread. Members looking for open and objective discussion on say Multi Crew have to wade through all the hate posts searching for it. There are valid concerns between PvE and PvP and discussion is good but shouting at the top of one's lungs and listening to no other inputs is not the way to make positive changes Frontier will consider. Welcome to the Forum.
Lots of replies also means that the negative posts will be a priority in the New Posts section. Thus someone asking for help with a game play issue and getting it within 5-7 replies gets buried especially if posted in the general Dangerous Discussion section. The good news is that many negative posts are posted in the DD section. Try some of the other sections and see the difference often like night and day. When looking for help try a Google search version of the Forum for of any basic game issues and the answers are always there with friendly supportive members who like me love the game and are here to help.
Issues like 900 plus posts for long hair for the Commanders otherwise it is a game breaker is a bit silly to me but that's is a player's choice. I always respect a player's choice even if I don't agree. I sometimes try to help providing more information they might use to evaluate their decision but in the end they decide. The bottom line is we are in a great community. You are in good company. Don't let the limitations of how the Forum posts are displayed which makes the game look like it is a total mess upset why you are here.
This is posted in the general Dangerous Discussion section so without 100 replies it should get buried soon thus validating my point!
Regards and Fly Safe
