State of the Galaxy: Player Edition

Great post! Well written and respectful which I always gravitate to. 12.5M GP here and have been playing since December 2015 and I echo the points and concerns raised here. The game has had it's issues in the past, and a lot of them, but the issues arisen this year seem to be pushing the limit of what can be tolerated by players who have invested time and money into the game. If the game becomes unmanageable due to the current issues then I cannot see myself playing the game by the time the 10th anniversary comes round. I would love to make it to 10 years but not for the sake of it, I want to enjoy the game and feel like I am rewarded for my time and money spent in the game.
