Notice: Roleplay Canonization Requests

[Reeves]

Discovery was working without player roleplay canonization for a long enough time to prove that people shouldn't give a damn about what is considered canon. The only things that matter are, matter of factly, what people roleplay. No matter if it is canonized or not.

The majority of players stay and stick for months and years. Nobody can convince me that people do their best to put efforts into their roleplay while trying their best to not do anything profitable ingame - simply because capitals and CAUs and special equipment exist.

It worked without player roleplay canonization for just about long enough for all the one system nations to crop up and isolate themselves behind walls of prejudice and entitlement. While quite literally every other faction which can(or at least should) be considered their peers has had to endure neglect, in the best scenario or being railroaded in the worst. There isn't much fun in trading, I personally only ever do it when I need to finance things for faction incentive, like having the money required to reward people for kills and other activities. I don't really trade beyond that unless I just want to kill time by watching a cruise animation.

What I'm sick of, and what a lot of people are sick of, is that instead of expanding on the actual vanilla factions which make this geriatric game interesting. People have instead chosen to maneuver themselves into the positions necessary, create their own blends of fan-fiction and thereby destroy carefully crafted niches and be proud about it. If I am now going to be expected to cough up money to have a "timely" consideration of things which were already happening in the base game, alongside the fact that this is a game of social status and not merit, then why bother?

It's all fine and dandy that we can give these amalgamations of fetishism and poorly constructed political rhetoric full shiplines and planets, but not when that comes at the expense of the actual flesh and blood of the universe that keeps people here. And it will never be taken lying down. If the constant attempts to turn base-game factions into proxies for actual trash with a yellow name behind it and the deletion of things like the LWB isn't fuel enough for the fire, well. I'm afraid I don't have enough buckets on hand.
