Been busy so I just tried to catch up on a few pages since I last looked. I've seen a lot of really moronic things written since then. I'm going to try and address them all because I'd really like to not have my time wasted having to read such idiotic garbage again.
First "You agreed to the TOS when you bought your Mavic and no one made you buy it". Ridiculous. I was presented with no TOS before purchasing my product. I bought my Mavic on Amazon. Those who said this and those who will say it again, please screen shot the TOS on the Amazon page that I evidently ignored which I accepted by checking out.
Second "My car, my blu ray player, my tv, my cat etc all require periodic updates...so what?" Sure, they do. But do the manufacturers of those products tell you that if you don't update your car windshield will be blacked out? Your blu ray player won't play? Your tv will only get one channel? No, they don't. THAT there's an update is not the problem. THAT there is an update with the threat that if you don't do it your product will be limited is. Doesn't mater if they don't end up limiting your drone. All that matters is that they are comfortable having made a threat. This is not how you treat your customers or customers you want to keep, anyway.
Third "Stop crying that they owe you new features..blah blah blah". LOL, ok Dad. Show a single post where anyone said DJI is obligated to prove new features to someone's purchased product. There wasn't a single post that even remotely resembled such a demand that I saw. Stop muddying the waters.
Fourth "why are you worrying about what may happen, just go out and fly!!" ROFL. Are you kidding?? I think hands down the type of post that appears on this board more than any other is "OMG, you went one foot over 400??? You blinked and lost VLOS???? Do you know what could have happened???? You could have KILLED somebody you ignorant, irresponsible flyer that will be the death of my beloved hobby. There are more posts on here crying about worrying what could have happened than anything else. It's called weighing the risks and consequences and something any responsible and smart person should do
The same people who are sharing their opinion of what this means or what will happen (and let's stop kidding ourselves folks, you people aren't in any better position to comment as an authority about what WILL happen than the rest of us...it is just your OPINION and you are only guessing as we are) are the same people who are calling those of us raising legitimate concerns all sorts of names. Shut up. Have a different OPINION? Fine, share it. Stop being condescending. There's zero need to call names to your fellow members here because they don't see things eye to eye.
This business practice is wrong and deceptive at best, criminal at worst. There's no reasonable justification for doing business this way. Maybe nothing will happen and that would be great. However that's not the issue is it? No, the issue is how they are going about doing what they are doing and that they not only have the ability but are willing to use it to significantly alter your product after you purchased it to something vastly different from the features they advertised you would enjoy when you bought it. THAT is the problem.
Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not for two years. If you are being honest with yourself and can recognize the situation for what it is, there's absolutely no possible way you can argue for, or justify, that this is a righteous, legal, or acceptable business practice. So stop. Really.
Now that just opens a whole new can of worms.
