Elite Dangerous players have raised concerns about recent changes to the Arx currency system, particularly affecting cosmetic paint scheme purchases. Previously, individual paint colors could be bought for about 650 Arx each, but the system now requires players to buy entire packs containing multiple paints, many unwanted. This shift forces players to spend more Arx, which is purchased with real money, leading to dissatisfaction over value and flexibility. The change has sparked wider community debate about monetization and cosmetic customization in the game.
- Individual paint colors replaced by mandatory multi-paint packs
