Rubbish, I am buying stuff where it's cheap and selling it where it's expensive, I am utterly gaming it.
I think the major problem I see when reading complaints about ED is that people are trying to game a game that's meant to be an experience. And when gaming it doesn't work they don't know what's wrong.
Go out there, and experience it. Don't game it.

I do have to wonder who doesn't find this to be an experience. Haven't any of these people taken a 10 or so jump journey? Seeing a bit of the galaxy, watching the traffic die off, and going where no man has gone before is definitely a ride worth taking and I haven't thought of the mechanics behind it all once after that.

You're implying that you can remove the concept of progression from how humans experience games. Humans are hard-wired for progression, especially in video games. So as long as humans are playing, they will be doing so with the goal of maximizing their rate of progression. 'Gaming', 'grinding', etc are inherent. Good luck changing human nature.
But are you trading up to a Lakon in order to fund a kitted-out Cobra? If so you're wrong-gaming it, if not you're right-gaming it.
Yep, I've been doing that but after a while it gets old, but the good thing is there are plenty of other things to do. But those that are doing this solely to earn money are always going to have this little voice going off in their head: "You aren't earning enough money doing this. You could be earning much more by grinding trading". Whether you give in to that voice or not is entirely up to you.Rubbish, I am buying stuff where it's cheap and selling it where it's expensive, I am utterly gaming it.
I thought we were supposed to play any way we want? What's with the right and wrong?
I look for progression in experience, not progression in credits/ships/rank. Especially as the latter is invariably unfulfilling.

Elite was born at a time when things were a lot slower, a lot different and the old timers out there know it. Some of the "Players" today may not have even been born when the concept of Elite was in 1980ish
