I'm done.
I'm sick of you not listening to feedback (clearly you don't, or else a 5 minute google search wouldn't turn up infinite articles and posts about how irritated and bored the community is, and I severely doubt you read every post made here...hell I'm doubting you'll even see this, but I'm still gonna post it in the off chance you do, for all the good I know it won't do). I'm sick of you nerfing every damn way to make the grind less abhorrent. I'm sick of you forgetting that 99% of players don't have the time to devote to the game with how you've designed it. I'm sick of you expecting the community to make essential tools that should be a part of your application already. I'm sick of you making puzzle trails only people with certain real life equipment and/or knowledge can follow (spectrograms??? Are you kidding me?!?) I'm sick of the lack of response to bug reports, or if there is a response, half the time it's 'we dunno, wait for the next big update.' I'm sick of you worrying about retaining your player base, but every decision you make just makes the game less fun and alienates more players. And above all I'm so sick of you focusing on COMBAT COMBAT COMBAT.
I'm done, and it makes me damn sad; because I was so excited when I first heard about this game; because even after 2+ years of fairly consistent play (few months on, few months off), I still haven't had more than 200 million in the bank at one time, I still haven't gone more than 200ish LY beyond the bubble (because seriously, screw how complicated getting Engineer updates are), I've only flown an Anaconda for 5 minutes because I misjudged things on a high g world and crashed hard enough to kill myself. By now I should have been able to afford the ship and gear that would actually let me do what I want, and what you advertised this game as being about: exploring the damn Milky Way to your heart's content, going wherever you can point to in the sky. And I have to watch all these guys with hours to kill, no life, nothing better to do than to devote to the grind, devote to finding the newest way to make a quick credit before you nerf it, devote to figuring out your insane 'story' progression puzzles, all make billions, be able to afford all the best stuff (and again, devote all their time to finding endless materials to drop on endless blueprint rolls) and can then actually do stuff they want.
Maybe I'll come back, IF you guys stop creating the very problem you worry about so much: players getting bored and angry, and leaving. But I doubt it.
All I wanted to do was go see Sag A* and go as far across the disk from the bubble as I could.
