Ohhh you need far far more tin on that radionics helmet cmdr.
Its all fun here
, I suggest adjusting those dials for a more clear reception
Isn't that like saying cavemen suffered from cancer without a cure so we shouldn't cure it to respect their suffering? As for the goal, you agree with me. Credits don't get you 'the goal' in Elite.

But real money would even more fire this illusion, instead of curing the grind.
I don't understand your cavemen example btw. Isn't that a bit too much of a stretch?
The more interesting question would be if and why cavemen were not affected by cancer in the same number as we are today (I'm pretty sure that's the case but not how or if any evidence for this statement actually exists).
i think you are all wrong
Buy credits from the store to encourage FD to "protect the grind" and to save the feeling of verisimilitude (I am fine if they do something with *some* of the material gathering tho...)
OK so you think it's perfectly ok for a GAME designer to make a boring game so they can delibertely make money off you to skip the boring parts they put in.
How is that a game?
LOL I'm not angry BTW
Just think of it as brutally honest logic?

yeah wait, people think making cash buyable will reduce grind? it'll make the devs stretch it out further to ensure people have a reason to buy it in the first place then keep on buying it. this is IAP 101 and traps the devs in a loop as much as the players.
And we're seeing that in games these days. grind where there's no reason for it except to make players buy stuff. If there's any boring parts to a game you are not playing a game. I've never played a game where I've got to a boring part and carried on. I don't think I've played any boring games tbh - all the games I've ever played I've had fun with them and never had to read a book or watch netflix.
Lately there's been a lot of games that are minimal effort at AAA prices with grindy mechanics and pay to win mechanics - all are bad for gaming.
Think back before microtransactions - any boring, grindy games you ever played?
I'd have to disagree with that as me and my friends are having a blast - yes they sell Shark Cards for ridiculous money and you get practically nothing for it which makes me seriously question whether I want to continue to support RS but on the reverse side of that, they made an excellent game that is a huge amount of fun.
For example, if you want all the business without the fancy perks you're talking about 10-14 million I guess? That gives you access to
The Facility
Hangar
CEO business (Crates)
CEO Warehouse
MC
MC Businesses
Bunker
general missions open to all
At the start of the game you only get the general missions as well as races. In acouple of month you can own pretty much all the above as long as you don't spend your cash on other things. So some people say it's grindy but I'm in a position where I have all these missions unlocked that I can do and I still have a couple of things to unlock (hangar and bunker and MC business) so I still have content ahead of me.
FDev might put in cash for credits for that reason alone now you said it!
Suspicious... Actually I am doing the same.
It indeed is a huge amount of fun.
Even more so when I/we role play/overwrite contract missions from stealing coke etc to retrieving suppressed advanced natural meds that was confiscated by corrupt "officials" and delivery of CBD hemp (instead of the drug crop weed)
by our "MC" business. Instead of brewing and manufacturing meth and coke respectively it is nanosilver/colloidal silver and changa mushrooms...and other true healing goodies.
AND because core gameplay existence--exists, CR per hour is NOT the focus nor are vehicles really as we CAN buy them from a store and USE them to PLAY the features in the game

I definitely feel the same with all the new bugs... and I love playing and streaming the game but all the new issues are demoralizing!
Yeah I thought it was a little too low but then I thought about it and I'm not in a rush to get stuff and I'm having fun playing the game normally and I don't feel like I'm grinding or that the credits are really that low.
I can spend an hour doing a doomsday heist with one other play and we can make 400k.
I can play Editor and Thief and in 4 mins I can have $10,000 - so every 6 mins (+2 mins to reload the mission) I could 10k or 100k over the hour.
Every 20 mins I can sell a car for 80k Profit
in about an hour I can fill my small warehouse with goods and make 120k profit so there's 200k profit an hour right there.
Then there's the daily objectives. I just completed my 3rd week and got another 100k on top of the 175k I made and next week I'll get another 500k for the month.
So I look at the game as wanting all the stuff that unlocks the game content - i.e. the missions of which I feel the pace is right and it's fun.
Now, if I wanted the luxury jet at 8 million, the deluxo at 3.5 million, the oppressor at 3 million, the yacht at 10 million, all the business upgrades at 5 million plus some of the top range cars and warstock stuff (add another 20 million) then yes, screw that, RS can take a hike.
But you can pretty much complete the game using a gio lol.
You don't spend that much time here then. lol.

I get what Aashenfox is saying, even if I don't like the idea.
The strawman/red herring is P2W.
On that part he is entirely correct.
(PS, Aikidoka are the worst! See: Steven Seagal, case closed!)
