Please please stop asking for everything to be easy!!

Stuff like this winds me up. Please stop asking for easy mode in everything!!!

Im sad to see people saying rep should be easy. Bounty should be millions. Etc. Im wondering are these people who started out trading up to top ships?

I think we can all agree trading is easy mode to the point of brokeness (almost) you can cheese luxuries and rares. Play solo or log off for no risk high rewards.


Then you come out of trading into your biunty hunting and its no longer easy mode. You dont make millions any more and repairs cost.


Trading has easy routes. Ie carrying all high cost materials. Carrying rares and luxuries. These were envisioned to be pretty rare. But then people post online the short cuts. Of course this will be the easy way to make money. In solo or whatever these people are doing to avoid danger and maximise money per hour.

However i LIKE a challenge. I WANT a challenge.


No offence but they DO NOT need making easier with creds per hour and better insurance and less repercussions. I LOVE the challenge of these roles and the slow progression. I love the scary rep bill 2hen things go wrong or making a loss.

I dont want easy mode
If they do this i for one will be leaving as i dont want wow in space with respawns etc.

Really i think before asking for all these easy mode. Cheaper repairs. Creds per hour. Take a look at your playstyle and dont ruin the game for others.

Look at this are you happy trading.? (Most of you will say no.) Why? Its too easy. There are some who enjoy trading "properly" in normal routes and do enjoy it. But you can guarantee they dont make as much.

Will you be happy bounty hunting with 2 mill credit wins? I wont.

So thats my plea to you. Pls stop asking for dumbing down and easy mode. Let the guys concentrate on content to make this great game even better. N its not about making 50 million in a month. If you want that to be your aim carry on cheesing trade, im hapoy for you. Please dont cheese up the rest of the game.

Basically, you want the devs to cater to your tastes and no one elses? Why is your play style more important or valid then others?

The different roles should be comparable in terms of overall progress. Just because you would earn more doing mining or pirating or bounty hunting doesn't change the MECHANICS of how those work, which is where most of the "challenge" is concerned.

By the way, getting really low credits for everything else in the game besides trading doesn't make those activities hard or challenging in the least. It just makes them a waste of time in terms of reward.

Most of us are unhappy trading not because it's to "easy" but because there's no DEPTH. Depth =/= crazy hard tryhard mode.

Can you please link to all these threads, please?

I've had a quick look and didn't see any where players were asking for the elements you mentioned to be easier.

From memory, the only thing I can think of is the accidental damage change. Most other changes incoming are going to make things harder.

Which is OK by me.

Higher profits from bounty hunting does not equate to it being easy. Every last person who is asking for bounty hunting to be more profitable is also asking for the AI to be improved or for the scenarios to become more challenging. Once you've gotten a few hours of experience it's just as easy as trading. What gets our goat is that we only earn a small fraction of what the traders do, but our expenses are higher, we risk more, and we can't afford to fly the larger ships which are often suited for the purpose when the traders are flying ships that aren't suited for straight trading. It's completely backwards.
 
I agree with the OP. I bought into this game because it was supposed to be a non care-bear game (a term I have been using forever). I already think that some things in the game are way too easy and way too trivial.. (i.e. docking). But I have only been playing since release. So far, I love the game, even with it's missing content.

I too would hate to see the game get ANY easier. Keep the game challenging please.

What you are missing here is that this game is a LONG game. It is not a 3 or 6 month job to complete but years. It never was a quick game, if it were there would never have been a sequel. What the babies are asking for will kill the game, over, finished.
 
People who cannot resist clicking on and being exposed to such tantalizing tidbits as "the next great trade route" being posted should eschew the forum and stick to newsletters. Then you won't pollute yourself with the dozens of requests, most of which never get implemented unless the people who are designing the game in the first place agree with them and think a change is improvement despite pleas for keeping unnecessary tedium around for some reason.
 
Good luck OP, I agree with you but sadly it's 2015 where gamers are spineless wusses who have to be constantly hand-held and spoonfed content and need everything making easy because they want ALL the benefits from the game NOW and without putting ANY effort into it.

Thankfully there are a lot of people here who enjoy a challenge and want to see the game being even a little tough but I fear the moaners will get their way in the end. The squeakiest wheel gets the oil as they say.

While i agree with that sentiment about game difficulty the modern games are easier thing is a bit of a untrue trope.

Really popular triple a games are easier on average then equally popular titles of earlier era's - that much is true.

However games such as DayZ and many other similar ones are experiencing a huge resurgance because they're hard. Also i encourage anyone who feels there's no such thing as a challenging modern FPS to play Arma 3 with me.

Sorry just a side rant. Your general point of enjoying a challenge is one i wholeheartedly agree with. Just not wiiiiild about the cult of nostalgia-gaming.
 
Good to see some agree. For me content is the most important. If there are uber hard missions for 250k then yes put them in. But not cheaper repairs, easy interdict with no damage, trader like profits from combat.

Nonono. And yes people have been asking for them. To be honest every other thread seemz to be asking for less repercussions not more content.

Im all for content and depth. But not "let me use my battleship and not pay for it cause its too scary if it gets shot at"

Myst be just me and a few others noticing these threads. Ill point it out next time i see one :p or maybe i should just ignore them.

Most of the Xbox generation is as worthless in gaming as they are in life :)
