How is stuff any easier to get now than it was in 4.84? Or is it just that all the "oldbies" already got their billions off of a mining gold rush/cheater money and bought 20 battleships and now they are bored?
Maybe we really could use a server account wipe...
First of all, I keep saying that wipe is good, go ahead please.
Second - I made with mining somewhere around 10% or less of my cash. I'm making cash with smuggling because it's a way funnier.
Third - You keep thinking that moneritary inspiration is good so you can't make your narrow mind to see that there was another currency in change back then with all those hated factions, rules and stuff which are removed now.
It's name was respect, trust and popularity. Yes, if you're no one you couldn't fly Freelancer katanas. That was making people to work hard to make a name for themselves. An individual was able to be popular with a starflea on his only one account and someone with all caps in the game was no one that is. You can always remember names of those who was putting a great deal of creativity into the game and was gone after all the nonesence that was introduced in order to fight off the "elitism", "favoritism" and other things.
Now game doesn't requier me to do anything to gain any of those goodies. I just can buy ship, if I have cash, and fly it till I bored. I don't even have to be creative to make people like that character so if I'll run out of names one day I'll start to give them numbers, why not.
So basicly with nothing bigger to earn and achive people just play here, play there. Try this faction and that. Gets bored and leave.
