I've always been in Open play, but my game's still been quite a solitary experience and I've hardly had any contact with other players.
Let's be honest, how many of you play Solo/Private vs Open?

I did once, I wanted to go to bed and needed a landing pad at an outpost.
I switch around depending on my mood and what i'm doing.
Long day at work, don't want human interaction: Private or Solo
Exploring: Open
Returning from exploring: Private or Solo
In mood for some player interaction: Open or Private (Mobius of course)
Community Goals: Depends on what the goal is. But if its combat zones and not many of them, so they are full of people just blowing each other up - thus meaning its a real pain to get progression on the goal, ill probably go solo. My Orca is not an ideal PvP ship. I'd get shredded by people in Vultures and FdLs and not fare much better against most other ships, and Orca's are bloody expensive to replace!
Trading: I don't do trading, the most boring profession for me.

So all surveys are useless? Pew polls, college campus surveys, email questionnaires... they reach a fraction of the total population they are surveying. The idea is that the results are more or less generalizable to the larger population. In science this is known as external validity.
Always in open.
Even with the griefers I can't see the point in solo at all...Elite: Not So Dangerous

100% solo. I have no desire whatsoever to be someone else's content. I'm also nowhere near my twitch reflex prime any more.....to the point where NPC's are dangerous if they're ranked Master or above.
Open 24/7
With the way npcs are, solo might as well be called "easy" difficulty. Random player bounty hunter attacks are the only thing that keeps me on my toes.

This is quite sad...

what is sad?
The fact that half of all players don't want to play with the other half?!
The game should be Open only - period.

no, it shouldn't.
Edit: and "discussing" it in here will just bring the merge with the thread upon this one.

Why? The game came out in 84. I played it then. One of the only things we dreamed of back then was being able to play in a open universe where everyone was in the same game. Now we have the technology we don't and we might as well be back in 1984.

Then you would still have the same problem. Well, assuming you see the problem. At least with solo mode, FD makes money from box purchases. If it were open only, I doubt those of us who play solo would have even made the initial purchase. I know I would not have.
100% Open .
some people have other dreams.
face it, your wishes don't reflect those of others.
