The new credit meta (20M a MINUTE) (Clickbait but you'll click it anyway)

For me exploit /bug is connection open/solo/group to one world -first online game in history with such thing. And no one cares about it since release.

That's not true. I care about it. It's one of the main reasons for me to buy this game.

Didn't you realise this when you bought the game?

For me exploit /bug is connection open/solo/group to one world -first online game in history with such thing. And no one cares about it since release. People can avoid other players in groups and do BGS, CG's and Power Play. That is why I don't care how much credits someone has and how, because this game is broken since 2014.

So you think everyone should be forced into Open, and groups like Mobius should be disbanded and forced to play a single way along with solo players? That's your definition of "fixed"?

By FAR the game's greatest strength (along with the galaxy generation). And yes, first online game in history with such a thing. Nothing wrong with being the first.

Elite is not a competitive (between players) game. It just isn't. And again, that's a good thing.

When they added Cargo rewards as an option I kind of rolled my eyes at it because it seemed so pointless. But, thanks to Cargo rewards I was able to unlock one of the Engineers without mining a single ton of Bromeleit myself. So I guess they sort of serve a limited purpose. Now I just need to find some missions which offers Kongga Ale and Fujin tea as one of the rewards.

Overall though ugh yeah I think they could probably remove Cargo rewards altogether and it would be no loss to the game. Certainly better than removing all mining missions.

Cargo rewards make it easier by far to unlock the tech brokers as well as Engineer Qwent, so there's a decent purpose to it now.

I am afraid that is a design choice which was advertised since way before release. You don't like it, which is fine but it is a core feature of the game you bought not a bug. I find if features of a game annoy me too much I vote with my wallet. Ie starwars battlefront and destiny 2. With star citizen ripping out core features of that I am seriously considering refund on that too. Feature which you will no doubt like (PvP slider to remove interaction from players outside of a white list was a key feature for me)

i was talking about money exploits as thread name. Fixing exploits and dont punish / wipe balance players who using it, its just bad. Pushing players using this exploits as much as possible from beginning.
When its is not possible to wipe these money from exploits, im astonished they haven't statistic about from where and how money was collected. Basically one currency in mmo game. Other companies have high priority to make money secured.


Design choose to separate players to groups is stupid decision, but yes working as intended from beginning and we know it. Im not angry for that, just disappointed ...

 

[Sirius Agent]

It can't be an exploit or bug because it's working as intended and by design.

So we have legal and illegal exploits here right? Show me other Multiplayer Online game with solo instance in the same space. It's legal cheat here. If FD fixing something, this should be fixed as well

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

So we have legal and illegal exploits here right?

No, it's not an exploit. Period.

Show me other Multiplayer Online game with solo instance in the same space.

Irrelevant.

It's legal cheat here.

Doesn't exist.

If FD fixing something, this should be fixed as well

It's not broken.

There really isn't much sense in talking to you.

That is why I don't care how much credits someone has and how

I normally take this stance as well, at the core we can only fly 1 ship at a time. That being said ANY credit advantage that can be generated WITHOUT LEAVING THE STATION. (Similar to the reselling of FSDs/Reactive Armour or other such previous events) NEEDS to be treated with the exact same PREJUDICE! For those of whose memory falters, in the case of the FSD resell situation the ENTIRE patch was reverted (approx. 2 hours of progress was lost by ALL players!) While I agree that calling for a reset to 2.4 is drastic and generally uncalled for at this time, the precedent exists!

Perhaps Fdev has already commented on the punitive actions that may or may not have been taken but again the ability to 'ARBITRARILY GENERATE CREDITS' via simple UI clicking is an ABUSE (A term that I don't use often) REGARDLESS if the the core system is "working as intended" (or not).

It's a pity we can't have that music as the background when browsing the station board. It's really stuck in my head now.

Apparently, and I've never understood that rationale. Granted, if one's a jerk in real life, one may be in the game world, too. The problem in that, however, is the game world exists for us to get away from real life. As I've said numerous times before, if Elite: Dangerous ever turns into work, if I ever have to take it as seriously as work, then I'm tossing it in the bin, because this game world is where I come to relax, to pretend, for just a little while, I'm a spaceship pilot traveling to different worlds, and engaging in unique experiences in a future I'll never see. If I have to start making spreadsheets just so I can be taken seriously as a gamer, then there's no point anymore.

I get frustrated with Elite, sometimes, but I love the world Frontier has built. That first moment where I hyperjumped, and landed face first in front of a brilliant, blazing star in a nearby system, that was pure magic. I want this game to go on for years. YEARS. As long as it stays a game, a place to come to and relax. I do that not because I have a pathetic life, but because I think everyone should have the opportunity to live in their imagination for a little while each day.

I have to second this.
