Players in Elite Dangerous are voicing frustration over recent price reductions in the mining Community Goal (CG), which many say distort the event's economics. Despite using advanced mining ships like the Rhino, commanders report that about half of mined commodities are excluded from the CG market, discouraging the mining of certain resources. This exclusion skews participation and data, leading to criticism of the CG's design and its impact on mining gameplay. The controversy raises questions about the event's value if significant portions of mining output are effectively worthless.
- High-end ships like the Rhino still face commodity exclusions.
- Price nerfs discourage mining of many resources in the CG.
