Elite: Dangerous looked from afar like a pretty grindy game (in terms of earning more money) yet while I still think that this is true ED offers suprisingly differnt ways to earn it compared to the usual MMO I played, including:

• Exploration
  
  
• Missions
  
  
• Bounty Hunting
  
  
• Trading
  
  
• And many more I'm to lazy to list...
  
  
  In the end everyone has to decide for themselves if they think they'll like it (especially the flight model since 90% you do is flying).
  I'm happy with my purchase (but haven't reached any "end game" content yet) and community-driven things like the Fuel Rats[fuelrats.com] give an awesome impression of the community.
  
  For Beginners it might be a while until you know what is killable for you and what is not as shipe sizes aren't everything.
