Apart where you're right tihs is wrong on so many levels i can't tell where to start from.



Such threads remind me of bored king that sits on his throne all day and with mortally bored voice demands: "entertain me". Jugglers came in, fire eaters came in, sexy belly dancers came in... All are met with same reaction. Booooriiiing. So boring.



And I see players behaving like that king. They sit, they watch and eternally bored still demand to be entertain. Without any effort from their side. They are like junkies on withdrawal, all they care is more stimuli.



ED isn't empty sandbox. It's just very large sandbox in which everyone can find it's niche. The problem may be in players being stretched too thin. It's somewhat true that game lacks depth. You say: "when you understand how the game works." as a justification for boredom. Same can be said about new Marvel movie. I long time ago understood how this kind of movie work. Main character faces some mystery, he tries to uncover it, confronts the prime bad guy and got beaten to oblivion. Hee flees, search for allies/deus ex machina solution, confront arch enemy 2nd time when this enemy is at his peak and defeats him in the very last moment. Does knowing that made last movie I watched uninteresting and predictable? No.



If you want game to be dead, boring and uninteresting then it will be so. For you. You decided that. I faced similar problem. Felt that game lacks of depth, limits me on my every step. I took a few months of break. Came back recently with different approach. I do one of the most mundane things in the game - I run cargo delivery missions. Exclusively. Load stuff in station A, plot a course to station B. Unload. Rinse and repeat.



And I g enjoy it. If I was the very last active player I wouldn't even notice that because game provides what I want. because I decidedd that this mundane thing is enjoyable.
