Dear Frontier Developments, from Texas DeLuxe, General representing Mors Universalis Demolition Division player minor faction,
Firstly, let me acknowledge what an amazing game and community we have in Elite: Dangerous. That is not disputed. Many thousands of hours of entertaining and captivating game play have been enjoyed.
But...
I was concerned today to check in on my squadron's Discord server to much disdain, lament and frustration. You see, our squadron recently gained a monumental achievement by topping the Elite: Dangerous season leaderboard in both AXI and Combat. An achievement that involved a tremendous amount of coordination, organisation, recruitment, combat, strategy, grinding, sweat and tears.
The achievement was glorious and well deserved.
Yet, the disgruntlement and frustration was in response to the latest Galnet News article praising the work of coalitions known as ‘AXI’ and ‘XSF’. I wonder if FDev have lost touch with grass roots player involvement. While we don't expect undue kudos or favouritism, it is disheartening to have others commended despite our efforts. Is it too much to ask for a little recognition? Some tidbit of acknowledgement? So little would give so much!
