We ALL should protest against FDev while stop playing Elite dangerous!!!
Me Too
People seem to care enough as they go to an effort to post about it!
The whole game is a grind as content is limited, there are only a few mission types within the categories.
That is what makes the game boring, not to all I accept, but to many, more and more from looking at the forums.
And the point is to gain credits if not why have mission payouts?
As for 300m credits and hour, I never gave a figure.
You could, as many have said, make these gold rushes part of the BGS.
Or have big payouts that reflect the danger or difficulty of what you have to do.
I don't have the time and find completely boring taking a passenger on a 18K ly mission there and back for 20m
I have no trouble with a short-lived Gold Rush, that may be last a couple days or so every few months. I do not fault anyone that took advantage of this latest Gold Rush. What I am saying is that it should be a rare thing. So many people are shouting that it should be permanent and Frontier did a terrible thing by nerfing it. It absolutely should not be a permanent fixture in the game, otherwise that would be detrimental. Frontier was 100% correct to take Swift action.
I can't see anyone anywhere asking for the 100m+/h things to be permanent. If you could point me to where people have explicitly said this, and the general consensus amongst the playerbase is that they want goldrushes to be a permanent feature, then I'll happily retract my statement.
Here's one. There are a ton of them on Reddit too. I can provide more links if you like.

Maybe, then you anorak types with too much time on you hands can hunch up over your joystick and self congratulate yourself
That's not explicity asking for it to be permanent though. That's someone frustrated they didn't get there early enough to make the most of the goldrush.
I don't think anyone reasonably thinks that 100/200/300m credits per hour should be a permanent fixture.
This is the weirdest call to action ever. OP wants to "punish" FDev by... lowering their server costs? (fewer people playing means less work for the galaxy servers, which means fewer fees owed to FDev's cloud provider).
OP, take your own advice and play something else for a few weeks. You seem stressed.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
grow up.
Maybe if there weren't 57000 iterations of what's acceptable we'd have an easier time of it. As it is, I see opinions running the spectrum from I-Win Mobile App Pls to Dark Souls Was Too Easy, and a whole mass of people more interested in sniping each other out in the forums than coming to any type of agreement or even basic understanding of their own needs, let alone other players. Not you personally, but the handbags are already starting to swing in here.
I've decided to take a stand and on the 27th of this month I will not be playing.
My stand is in no way connected to the release of Far Cry 5.

Lol, keen eye for market conditions? You mean follow the simple instructions in the reddit post? There is no skill, no luck, no goldrush. Its an exploit. Just be honest about it man, no need to sugarcoat it.
As for the paltry sum normal missions pay: I earn my total insurance after three years and 2000+ hours in a single session...

I believe you called the people who participated in it 'cheaters' in another thread. So yeah, that's all I need to know about your character if you're passive-aggressively having a pop at mine. I won't be so subtle about it. I call a **** a ****.
You'll need to forgive him as its his natural position to defend Frontier no matter what and call everyone a cheater who doesn't conform to his ideals.
Nah, couldnt stop playing the game of my dreams to protest fdev for doing what they think is right. Even if i think its dumb
+1 for building a house!
I can attest from first-hand experience. Boycotting a game doesn't work. A number of us called one in another game. We had hundreds of players from 12 servers change their ship names to anything pro boycott and anti company. We held organized demonstrations across multiple servers simultaneously. The forums were blasted with enough rhetoric to rival carpet bombing in Iraq. It lasted for months. The result ended with a change to TOS, player bans from the forum, censure of anything boycott related, banning of the use of that term and any related synonyms, and perma-ban of a few selected players. Worked out great. :/ So yeah, I won't be participating in a boycott / strike, etc.
You really can't just blanket blame Frontier. Conversely, your opponents can't blanket blame opportunistic players that participate in gold rushes. The guy that approves beta testing as "good enough for live play," is Sandro. That also makes him professionally responsible for gold rushes, and the game economy that has driven players to participate in them. Incidentally, he's the guy with the nerf gun too.
