Aw that's sweet OP. I'm really trying to love the game still after 4 years and about 3000 hours. Yeh I guess the total disregard for the pvp playing field or players is ok. I guess the fact that the game is really not fundamentally improved that much from when it released 5 years ago, is ok too (ok that's a little harsh, but not completely unfair). I guess the fact that my 120 slot inventory of modules is not sortable or organisable in any way shape or form is also acceptable these days and normal for a AAA game. I guess I shouldn't be too disurbed by the lack of persistent elements in a game universe that purports to take itself seriously (such as when a pirate follows you to a system they could not possibly reach and gets a free ship and loadout swap somewhere in witchspace), I guess the fact that the economy is totally buggered because half the people grind and took advantage of schoolboy style failures to anticipate how players would abuse something to exploit their way to billions, on the back of the regular gold rushes, or are like me and don't do gold rushing and are therefore poor by comparison, ios also fine. I guess the fact that multiple borked attempts to fix the resource gathering system have left us no better off now than we were at horizons release (with the exception of engineer commodities, phew, dodged a bullet there!), because of some insane fear of 'over-giving' (bar the weird and equally inappropriate, just from the other perspective Void Opal patch, which has now just been whisked off our table right when we were starting to get used to it, and then introduced a supply and demand economy that I don't think anyone ever asked for, and still not let us STOCK things for a rainy day or to drive supply or demand!?) shouldn't bother me that much either.
This way of catering to some players (solo hardcore explorers that want to have to clean the space barnacles off their plasma injectors before a jump) in some areas, and other types of players in other areas (action gamers and pvpers), just creates bigger gaps between playstyles and ensures that you can never please more than a small percentage of the playerbase at the same time, which leads to people on the forums equally posting congrats threads and 'sort your crap out' threads. I guess by posting this I perpetuate the cycle. FD, please fix the outfitting interface, do something about premium ammo in pvp (a warning would suffice, like we get for every OTHER special effect), make the game more convenient for action gamers to play without removing the manual options for the hardcore, OR messingn with their FSS. Give pvp some love by balancing a few special effects and making it more difficult to fight in reverse, please be more generous with g5 manufactured engineering mats, as you have been so kind as to provide us easy access to raws (though unfortunately, again a double edged sword as this compounds the no-warning premium ammo problem)...and another thing...
