I realise this is quite pointless, but where did I 'bash the devs'.
My little whiteknight.
My post said:
"OP, as OA said, you will (probably) have to repeat it many more times than 'merely' 18.
I am struggling to understand why FD consider that the (average) player would welcome such a repetitive mechanic.
It would be arrogant to assume they are stupid, so I would like to understand what drives these design decisions - which now seem to permeate every new patch.
Not something FD seem keen to discuss. And it is not obvious why they would simply not explain (not justify) their reasoning."
Dev bashing and no facts at all. Well done you.
