So with Salvation's Grand Design completed, such as it is, the forums are now awash with salt over the new on-foot Thargoid and/or Guardian GRINDFEST¹ that FDev are FORCING² on us that's not SHIP INTERIORS³, POWER PLAY (correction: turns out it is, after all), or the PANTHER CLIPPER⁴. This game is obviously IN MAINTENANCE MODE⁵ and no real CONTENT⁶ has been added since the Kickstarter finished. I Should Know, I've Played for OVER 1000 HOURS⁷ but Want a Refund. Furthermore, the DEVS HAVE NEVER PLAYED ELITE⁸.

⁴ It can't even fit in the mail slot!, 0 points honourable mention
⁵ Patches don't contain anything, 1 point
⁶ The galaxy should have an Interesting Things density of at least 1 unique object per cubic metre, 4 points
⁷ AND I want a pony!, 2 points
⁸ Do they even know how to turn on a computer?!, 2 points

How many points for posting up a thread which mocks anybody who isn't happy with stuff?

This thread proves my recent point perfectly:

At least in recent threads, these words [doomed, the game is dead, etc] are far more likely to be found in the posts of "white knights" setting up scary strawmen in what would otherwise be a civilized discussion about player numbers, ship interiors, performance, story pacing, etc. It's actually pretty rare these days that I see people who genuinely post such things because they actually believe it.

It's really just a stealth my predicting what's coming as the Big Surprise post-Salvation Story, but I didn't want to get flagged by the Temporal Security Division of Frontier Developments.

It's so bad in EDO now people are complaining about the lack of space crabs in the bars.

what happened to the space crabs/spiders?

These space crabs/spiders were brought up like months ago in uncovering the current narrative plot line but then nothing. Has anyone found them and begun a campaign of starship trooper style extermination? Or is this going to be like the lights and voices and singing in hyperspace plot that...

I might add the forums are also awash with Elite Dangerous apologists who play the forums but not the game.

I suppose Odyssey players have already been desensitized to the graphical downgrade for what, a year already? Didn't even get a mention in the OP.

Who spend more time talking about doom strawmen than they do about what they are actually doing and enjoying in the game. You'd like that the people who unreservedly love the game would be creating and posting in positive, "This is the cool thing I'm doing in Elite today!" threads, but instead we have this thread. Even when someone does post a positive thread, they can't help but insert jabs at the "doomsayers". If you don't like mushrooms, why put them on your cake? And if you do go ahead and put mushrooms on your cake, don't be surprised when people who do like mushrooms stick their fingers in your frosting.
