I have now been at this for 100 hours + after they nefred the hell out of the game to make Money, only to have them nerf it again, a question, do you want all players to give up on Elite Dangerous? this is ridiculous and it makes me and our crew basicly wanna give up all together on the game, FIX this ASAP or im sure alot of your gaming Community will go do something more fun like hitting their head on a brick wall or Watch paint dry.
Why screw with our way to make money?

I recommend hitting the head on the Wall after the Paint is dry.
So what are you saying, that it is not an issue or should be ignored as there are other things to do.
Yes, we want you give up the game.
Clearly you're not able to play a game that doesn't hold your hand through an exciting pre-written narrative that revolves around you. The most exciting thing that happened for you was that you were able to generate millions and be part of a Gold Rush story.
And now that the famine is setting in the scales tip back in the favor of those who know how to or seek out alternative means for credits that don't rely on broken mechanics.
The well of wealth will never run dry for me.
It has for you. So here's my question for you.
Are you and your crew tough enough to survive when times are hard? Or are you going to sit in the dirt and cry when the game kicks you when you're down and takes your lunch money?
Frankly I look forward to seeing who has what it takes to survive and make the community a better place. Or at the very least, who is willing to ask for help.

I'm saying that making money is pretty much the purpose of the game - get money, buy/improve ship.
Apart from gather mats for those engineers, that is. To improve that ship.
So, of course they 'screw' with the way to make money, cos that is their 'game'. Make it too easy and pfffff, game gone.

Absolutely, But all there is to this game is to make Money and improve your ship, thats it.... and remove the one good way to improve your ship to do the fun bit like battle, if they wanna kill a game, this is it, we have a HC user of Elite, hes been around sinse the original back in 84, and even he Thinks this is dumb...

I can't help thinking that if all you can find to do is make money, then this probably isn't a good choice of game for you.
Though its way too easy to make more money than you know what to do with already. Its lost all sense of value.

We as in the gaming Community that im part of
Uh, considering that's what most of the game is, how is it not a good choice of game for people who are looking for the most efficient ways to do so? So long as there are things to buy with credits, people will veer toward making credits. Hardly anyone stays in a Sidewinder, let alone that stock Sidewinder you start with. You even tend to need to make some amount of credits to get to those points which have nothing to do with credits. Maybe I misunderstand the point you are trying to make, but at face value I don't see a good point.

No, there are more things you can do than make money and improve the ship. You generally need or will want to make money and upgrade to do those other things, but it's not purely a credit farming simulator.
Not sure what's going on with the absolutes here, but they are off.

Tasty, shame I'm about 8000ly from Sag A.
The hell you talkin' about Wills? I can do combat in C rated Fighter class ships and come out the other end just fine. I even took a C rated FDS into High CZ and did good enough to get the outcome I wanted. AND I got paid enough to actually feel comfortable about taking my FGS into combat.
Making money is never a problem. Fun things like combat you only worry about money if your skills are not up to snuff. Sounds like you need to spend more time in the REZ 1v1ing the pirates.
Gold Rushing is not the end all be all of credit generation. Everything I do in the game generates money.
That's looking better, hopefully wing missions prove the same
You should never rely on something that is so far ahead of everything else. Those types of things never stay in any game forever. The gold rushes are fun for many while they are around, but you need to be a bit more moderate about it. Take advantage and then move on when they are gone. It's pretty simple. You can still make good money playing without them, just not universe shattering amounts.
Balance is always in flux when it comes to online games, welcome to the party.

No thats not all i find to do, but to be able to do other things, you need funds, and ALOT of it. jumping in to a fight with a standard ship is not something anyone with a half brain would do.
I watched paint dry once. It's less fun than ED.
Not sure what all the money whining is about. I've not even been trying to earn money, and I've somehow ended up richer than before...
