*** The Official Elite: Dangerous Thread ***

I guess a counter argument to that , from my own perspective, is not everyone is time rich to do all the discovery themselves. As a single guy in the early 2000's if I wasn't down the pub I was playing MMORPG's including Jumpgate TRI (very Elite like) tens of hours a week was very doable. Nowadays I have to grab an hour here and and hour there because I'm married with kids. Being able to dip in and out trying different things because others have lead the way is super useful. I've done a week of Xenobiology, a week of mining, some Engineer levelling and some basic Combat missions in the last month. I've really enjoyed it and I'm never going to master this game because I'm too time poor but I am getting to expereince some of the breadth.

i guess that is the point.
if you want to play the game yourself, discovering everything yourself and have the time to do it that is great. (this is how i started back in 2014)

if however you only get a few precious hrs then the guides and tools are there to help streamline things (this is me now 11 years later with a kid and stressful job)

either way works.
