Just wanted to bump this between all those "I will quit the game" and "NQ is bad" posts.
They are really getting boring.

Ok,
I stopped playing the game a while ago.
 
However I still lurk around the forums.
 
The DU "community" is such a blast! The most toxic community I have ever seen!
People throwing tantrums seems to be quite normal.
Telling someone "This is our game and not yours" too.
I am having a blast just by reading the forums.
 
Anyone else?

I was expecting a game with an economy where i can find a place to make money. And where I can explore the solar system to find interesing places. And with interesting interactions between player orgs to fight over resources or something that matters.
 
Found a game which mostly tries to attract players who like building pretty stuff with voxels.

I pretty much quit the game right now, although i really had fun during the first 1-3 weeks.
 
The most important reason for me is probably because I am in a minority and it is a problem which NQ should probably not focus on right now and I totally understand that.
But my main OS is Linux. Playing DU requires me to boot into another OS which I only set up to play DU. That is a huge overhead to login at all.
However I know that there are more important tasks for NQ to do right now.
 
But the other reason why I stopped playing the game is that none of the "professions" currently in the game were interesting or fun for me:
Mining: That is basically the entry point of the game because at first that is the only way to make money. It could be worse but not something I want to do all day long Industry: I like it but I really had a hard time to understand why I am producing stuff if nothing ever is destroyed. Hauling/Trading: Remote buy was not working when I was playing so you actually had to travel somewhere to buy stuff. And then the order is gone...
And since basically everything is available everywhere and can be produced everywhere there is no real need for hauling. At least the price margin was too narrow to use warp cells when I was playing. And flying straight to a destination for 2 hours is not that much fun. Building: I don't really care about that other than bulding a ship that can fly some cargo. PvP: The entry point is quite high there because there are no NPCs where you can test your ship how it performs. And I could not find another reason for PvP other than "just doing PvP" or salvaging haulers so I skipped that completely. Orgs: Never tries that to be honest. I am already involved in something like a Corp in another game and I also had a problem to understand what they are good for in this game. I understand that they are really nice if you are a builder. But there are other games where being in a "Corp" makes much more sense than in DU. Other stuff where people are building race-tracks or something like that: There are other games where the main focus is racing. I prefer those instead of DU.
