Great New Article About Elite Dangerous

Then don't latch on to me going ham with "Open only play" Look at my other posts with half-measures. Work with me, don't drive me to the other end of the spectrum because you don't like changing something that challenges "Because" "KS promised" "X people would quit"

Be better than that.

I don't need to be better. I don't consider myself a Carebear (got my ship blowned once during a blockade without making a fuss). So you misinterpreted me :p
I may however have hastily concluded that you were of a particular type of Open players due to your suggestion and I'm going to apologize for my mistake and provocative answers.
You seem to really want to look for a better game for everybody, not just yourself, after reading between the lines of your posts.

I just didn't agree with the dead-horse postulate:
The only solution is Open only and everybody should be playing in that mode whether they like it or not

It is not true and it is not going to happen. It would create new issues and I firmly believe that it WOULD NOT make the game better

Suggestions are welcomed by Fdev and posters on the forum (me included) as long as they are not extreme.

You may have read my last post/answer to another poster and you can see I can work with good suggestions :p

Simply Frontier have learned the same lesson that CCP learned years ago. Grief leads to articles, articles lead to publicity and publicity leads to sales.

The future I cannot see, a dark cloud surrounds everything. It is nice to see the 13th Legion in there.

SDC members tell Eurogamer they will quit the game if they are banned - and claim Elite Dangerous will die without them.

Oh, this song again. This "our disruptive manners are really very sophisticated behavior" thing needs to go away.
 
*shrug* what SDC did would be ground for perma-banning in some circles. But as they didn't break any actual EULA, or laws or regulations, so far... Practically all the fault falls on Mobius for being too trusting in accepting people - it's not something FD could or should do anything about. "Could" being one keyword here - FD can't by any means regulate anything which isn't their own territory - and all player groups fall outside of their "jurisdiction", they can't truly do a thing.

Agreed, although Mobius is neither responsible for the attitudes of the perpetrators nor their deliberate, premeditated intent to disrupt the group AND publicise their actions online as though they'd achieved some great, heroic feat. The failings of the Private Group functionality and Frontier's powerlessness to do much about it doesn't in any way mitigate the attitudes of certain individuals who think it's ok to act the way they do, online game or not......and those players are the one's at fault in my eyes.

Depends on the context, SDC did earn itself some notoriety, so I think it's something worth congratulating.

Unless you have a standardized metric for measurement of accomplishment that is universally accepted, which I doubt.

What notoriety? They in whole are less known than you are, in person. So I surmise their notoriety is about.... well, non-existent? 99.9999% or so don't care, even less know about. There's (outside SDC) perhaps a dozen or so people who even know what the shorthand stands for. What it stands for anyway?

Smile Dog Crew.

Third paragraph, first sentence.

I should also mention that they've gained more than enough notoriety. I certainly know them better now than you or anyone else in this thread.

It's all relative.
 
That is a mere perspective, since you are equating popularity and potential fiat currency revenue as accomplishment.

Nah, not me. It's Industry standard and social convention.
Of course you can define success as having the biggest collection of pre-licked stamps as your personal success and rejoice if the stamp collector magazine writes about it.

Then perhaps it's time for you to take a serious look at Adorno's Cultural Industry.

Until then, feel free to continue to fall in line by the societal elites.

Well, I don't know about their notoriety - none of that has reached me. So for me they're insignificant.
