The "I'm disappointed" thread

I've been in the games/tv/film graphics business for some years now.......there are some golden rules.......once of which is....
...
Never show off un-finished work....it just closes doors......
...
I kind of see this happening with FD, and from a lot of fronts.......The Open vs Solo/Pirate/NPC/Trader threads show a huge crack in the community.....this creates bad blood.....one side is going to have to loose....and with that, FD will also loose players and word of mouth.....
...
Another side of this, is others who HAVE been enjoying the game, "using their own imaginations".......who are now seeing their game change in favour of one sort of playstyle that they are not interested in.......so what they once found fun, they no longer enjoy....more lost players and word of mouth......
...
All titles make the bulk of their sales money, in the few weeks/months after release...........so at the moment, it would be fair to assume that FD has seen the "bulk" orders come thorugh, and from now on, it will be more a trickle of new buys............so....well.........as mentioned elsewhere. This is a hell of a catch-22 they have got themsevles in to.......I really hope they can work it out somehow.
...
Trying to "Balance" the game after the bulk of purchases.......kind of like a chef hovering over your plate after it has come to the table.......adding sauces and herbs as I try to eat.......
...
A lot of people will have been introduced to ED through YouTube...I was greatly enthused about Scott Manley's videos............but have you seen his latest on teh 1.1 update?.......one of the most watched Elite players on YouTube, now starting to give negativer vibes........he loved it, wanted a bit more, but does really not like what he is seeing come through.............
...
It is a bit of a mess, such a shame..........

I'm disappointed how the game ended up.
Wasn't what I expected it to be.
Probably more disappointed with the community and these forums though, some the participants in this thread make me sick.
It's probably too much to hope that the mods actually follow their own rules and slap some wrists of people whom have no issues with the game. It's only the people that have issues that are in the wrong it seems.

i am disappointed that David Braben didn't consider me at all as game designer for Elite Dangerous

jokes apart i have some few (but iportant) thoughts about this game:
- i am disappointed that this game is too much huge in size, Frontier should have 3000 people at work to fill it well...
- i am disappointed by some aspects of the gameplay, that is too old style for a game like that.
- i am disappointed by the informations about the game: if you are working on a thing for the next release
give to the people all the informations in details of what are you doing ... why to always keep it secretly and give
only some peek like a Chinese water torture ?
- i am dìsappointed by the way they informed us about the cut of the offline mode
- i am disappointed by the too early release of the game.
