Solo Mode / Private Group Play not fair to the rest of us

What make the game less fun is that people areslowing moving away from the open gameplay and going into private groups and solo to avoid the possibilty of lossing their ship to other players, i would wait on buying the game honestly till it sorts itself out, unless you want to be a space trucker and play in solo that is or join a PVE group, the "Technically" offline mode solo/group is basically cheating the rest of the players that play open cause they have the ability to change the outcome of the open game without the risk that open game play presents.

Fighting for a faction for instance is easy agains NPC's, but they dont want to do it against real players who pose a threat, and hence change the game easily without even nbeeding to try.

Also when it comes to hauling without the possibility of losing their ship and cargo, they can change the outcome of the trading environment because they can safely provide needed stock to other places without a "risk" and there for make it harder for open game players to do the same or have the same advangtage when trading.

helping local factions of a certain system has its issues in the same repect that faction warfare does as well.


So knowing that the larger groups and solo players can flood trading markets and change the outcome of local faction and larger faction changes is definitly not fair to the ppl who play open play and thier game play should affect our if they are not willing to take the same risks.​
 
Lol, if you don't play the way I want then you are cheating. Pathetic, grow up.

-rep for adding another thread to the same tired dead argument when already posting in another.

I have never tried Open Play, i have heard there are queues for docking? Cant be bothered with that. Also, are you annoyed because there are no targets to attack? I am making sure when i go Open I wont be an easy target!
 
How many more times are we going to see this exact same post?

Solo play is not cheating, and I have seen absolutely no evidence to suggest that any more players are switching from open play to solo play than at any point throughout the entire beta process. In fact, I am willing to bet that it is quite the opposite with more players switching to open play.

What has changed is that players can now spread out, but if you stick around the core systems like Sol they are still littered with other players. So the argument is completely moot.

As for the endless "it's cheating", "people can change factions without having to PVP", "people can flood the markets" and all the other comments on similar ilk, all of those things happen in open play as well since it is instanced to small groups of players. Solo and group play are no different to that, and frankly if someone doesn't want to PVP then so what? That's their choice.

Rubbish..There is loads of parking in the Milky Way. Just don't fly to planet Bluewater on a Saturday afternoon and you'll be fine.
 
I have posted this in a couple other threads. I don't know if anyone else has noticed or can correct me but I don't see MMO written anywhere on ED's web page anymore. Anyone?
 
I was very surprised to see how carebear oriented the Elite community is. I'm not poking fun at anyone in the thread, I'm just saying space is so freaking empty even at spots where players should gather.

The game is already so easy, why is everyone hiding in private games?
