A lot of people bought it. Including me as soon as i heard it will have multiplayer confirmed. And most of my friends as well. It was on top sales for almost a month and a half after the expansion hit.
Not to mention it was almost dead 2 years after release 200 people were playing it at peak hours.

Im not changing the mind of the guy. I just posted suggestions. Did i say DB you have to do this? I just said maybe something should be done, maybe more people will buy the game? Or maybe not? Who are you to decide that? Do you all work for FD and are all undercover ?

So you're in a system that requires a permit to access and has no notable exports, and traffic there is light? What a shocker! Take a trip to Lave perhaps, or one of the Power Play hubs?
Around not in.
What you're doing is getting ranty and bent because you're finding a lot of people with opinions dissenting from yours. You're also taking the "well I speak for a generation" attitude, and well, you don't. Feeling your opinions are that weighty leads to your rantiness and snipeworthiness in the first place.
You're missing an important point. You can PvP in Elite: Dangerous but it isn't a PvP game. You aren't asking to add a multiplayer feature, it already has one. We aren't stopping you from PvPing but if there aren't enough people who want to PvP back then you have to ask yourself why. They found something else that they want to do more. According to you fewer people PvP than don't PvP or you wouldn't be complaining about not having enough people to shoot. So why should FD cater for the minority?

Nothing wrong with CQC, its a good Idea. Again: I'm not against PvP. Really, believe me god dammit!
Recently really popular Games are for example Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight. Thing is, that one kind of game is popular does not mean every other kind of game is not popular. And its weird to bring up a "They should do what is more popular" argument in a Game like Elite Dangerous. A Space Sim niche Game designed for a niche audience.
I dont want to PVP! I want to meet someone. Take a selfie, eat a burger, walk around, crash into asteroids, circle around eachother, whatever i can do! But there is almost nobody in Open
I dont want pvp. I only PVP to get money(RES) i don't like PVP in this game it's just yaw until you get him or he gets you. But there is nobody in Open even the griefers left lol. I never met one so yeahBut if you don't like them you'll shoot them in the face.
Have you tried the Elite Groups forums? If you are really so alone in Open have you checked your router settings? Have you tried Mobius?

Then rather than creating a thread complaining about open being empty you should have asked if anybody wanted to wing up with you.
There are people out there.
I am really looking forward to CQC, it is exactly the kind of PvP gameplay I am looking for.
Separate from the main game, but all deathmatchy and fast paced action, so I can test and hone my combat skills in an environment designed specifically for those things, and with other players all looking to do exactly the same. So no ganking folks who don't want to be ganked, no arguments over solo/group/open - just pew-pew, carnage, explosions and good fun to be had, as all involved will be there by choice.

Oh. If you do not want pvp but want interaction. The off to Mobius you go ;-)
I've had some great laughs there.

I'm looking forward to that also, same reasons.
This is my hope for this mode; that it'll bleed off the extra pew-need that can push some of our more trigger-friendly pilots into gankasauric behaviour who might not otherwise indulge with other outlets available. Therefore leaving only true gankers in regular space to be ID'd by vigilante groups and devs and such, as everyone else got their extrapew fix in the pew arenas. (Edit: Obligatory non-hatred towards criminal professions disclaimer, we still need them; just hating on bored gank-for-lulz gameplay.)
I'm thinking also that for the cost-conscious/risk-averse pilots, an arena mode could get them into more of the combat game without it "meaning" anything to their main pilot; either as a hobby, or as training for eventual in-universe combat flight.

I'm wondering if you can CQC in a group? I.e. limit it to friend vs friend only.
<grins mischievously> What... so all those 'cowards hiding' in Solo can learn to fight their ships? Excellent! [twangin' guitars]
no it wont cause u dont check all the options for the solo player base can have if that happens

I'd imagine dueling and team selections would be gimme options, but FD may not; you know how they are. If they don't have it in a plan somewhere then they'd better add it in.

so let me get this right.
your view is
"everyone wants MP with the potential for PvP around every corner" but it cant happen because you cant see anyone because "everyone is playing in Solo mode"?
is that right? because if so there is some crazy logic right there.
if "everyone" wanted the excitement of OPEN then surely they would be in it?.
I admit SOME players will be in solo grinding with a view to going into open when they had the money to take the hit on destruction, but even IF that is the case (and I am not convinced) then its a short term issue because if as you say solo is the land of milk and money, then soon everyone will be heading to where they really want to be - open (your argument from what I can tell not mine).
as for poweplay...... either everyone is grinding power play in solo, or everyone is ignoring PP altogether (which is the conclusions of another heated thread)... either way surely it cant be both?.

It looks like ED will do their own thing. Even when its not good.
Otherwise they would copy some good working stuff from Jumpgate.
The comunication stuff is crap.
In Jumpgate there was a faction chat, and a local chat. Also you could do a optional chat.
If only open exist (like in Jumpgate) , you could wait on station when outside were pirats and orgnize with other pilots.
Launch all at once and fight the pirats.
This is here not possible.
To have only open play with the same game mechanics like now will ruin the game.

People loves them some game progress, and hates them some knockdown. For those pilots this is a perfect opportunity to throw ships away like water when normally their grip on progression wouldn't let them indulge so wantonly. I don't call it cowardice, just a gameplay style, but I still see this mode as a way for such players to unwind a bit without it feeling like they're wasting anything of value to them, even if it's imaginary space value.
