What about Barges?

Sentiment like that is why we have such a low player count. This "my way or the highway" mentality amongst players and staff is both lazy and anchoring the community.

Now, I'm not going to sit here and brainstorm for hours on which scenario to best fit what is going on here that doesn't have 1 hole in it. I don't argue semantics, I don't have the time. To paint with a broad brush, a car manufacturer that changes things after a purchase has been made will, at the very least, diminish the trust that consumers have in that manufacturer. The same principle applies here. An asset has been purchased with currency, in this case Sirius Credits, and a good has been provided (digital but is still a good). The good (barge) is being altered after the transaction has taken place. Therefore, to some (if not most people), the value of their good no longer equates to the original currency they applied for their good. To maintain trust and confidence in the community, a team should think about the ramifications of their actions and how to mitigate any loss of trust and confidence. So far there has been no talks about this. Therefore, players are continuing to lose trust and confidence in this community and will either no longer play or, funny you should mention this one, create their own community.

It's very simple if you think about it from all sides, not just one.
