Robert, you've already said -
Your perspective on this is a little dated and even when you did play MP games it was PvE. I'm not saying your opinion isn't valid but it should be put into perspective, even by yourself! I'm not sure why you're arguing quite so hard when, clearly, online games that include a PvP component were not your thing even when you did play!
Once again, a lot of this brouhaha could have been fixed by FD giving the PvE bunch their own open group where the transponders in Pilot Federation ships simply don't allow friendly fire.
I have not played online games for a number of years now due to time commitments negating regular opportunities for group play. Those games I did play were predominantly PvE.
