I like how you're trying to make arguments that I'm not talking about. Go for it but I'll keep dragging you back on point.
OK so you can pirate another ship - and?
Trade hasn't changed since the game launched. It's still A- B trading.
Do you understand what core game play means and how none of it has changed significantly?
Do you understand that FDev recognised this fact, admitted it and this is why we have Beyond to address the fact that there's issue with the core gameplay?
This is one case where they did listen as they're committing a year to fix the issues which is what everyone has been asking for over the last 4 years. It's great they finally decided to do something but overall, they're making their game even though most of what they've added so far as been pretty awful and not asked for.
Do you understand that ALL TRADE can be boiled down to "A-B"? There's no way around that, and to be offended by that is highly ridiculous.
Core game play is trade, mining, bounty hunting, and exploring - what FDev have said it was from the beginning, not whatever abstract concept you seem to have in your mind.
They said - during the live stream - exactly what I've been saying. Not "We put placeholders in and now we're putting real game stuff in" as you've said on this forum. But "We did it this way and thought it was neat at the time, but we've seen how it could be better, in no small part to the FEEDBACK FROM THE PLAYERS." You know, that thing you say they don't listen to.
You can try to argue in circles all you want, but I'm addressing EXACTLY what you're talking about.
We get it. You're unhappy with the game. And you will likely never be happy with it. So maybe it's time you find a game you like.
