This is stupid, and will never ever happen. The freedom to go anywhere and explore is absolutely central, and there is no way that will be denied to those wanting to play in a private group or solo-online mode.
I recommend you stop trying yo demand that others have to submit to being there so you can shoot at them. Those who don't want to, are perfectly entitled to playing as they like. There will be plenty of people for you to butt heads with.
No, not stupid at all me thinks. All you need to do is to calm down, think a little bit out of the box and to realize that no one is forcing anyone to do anything against their will. The idea is simply adding to what FD have already planned in the works and not taking a single comma from it. It is not a zero sum game or a trade off. The idea simply offers one more option for gameplay in addition to the current ones.
That is, unless you think that "denying" you a few hundreds systems for this kind of game play out of 400 billion stars (i.e. 0.000125% of the galaxy or so, give or take, let´s call it 0.0002% for worst case including asuming some binary systems) is really so outrageous to make you cry?
For a transparent and active PVP gameplay to be meaningful and given ED population the area of gameplay would have to be relatively small. Even if we have a few thousand players online at the same time looking for this, I cant see more than a few hundreds systems being involved as background required.
As you can see we are not trying to "demand anyone to submit" to anyhting. You can still come around this area if you so wish, and leave it the next day if you dislike it. And nothing in the remaining 99.9998% of the galaxy would have changed from the current ruleset for Groups while you were there.
You really think this is "demanding everyone to submit"? Really? I think your reaction is a tad disproportionate my friend.
You, and everyone, will still be perfectly entitled to play the way you want, including current ruleset.
Look, I consider myself a reasonably balanced solo, PVE, co-op and PVP player. And will be happy with the game as is. I am proposing some ideas that would allow additional gameplay modes without cannibalizing current rule set. I am not intent on forcing anyone to play my way because I am a declared PVA. Your way, whatever that is, is also mine.
So I, for one, wont desist in trying to point out that the vastness of the Galaxy is precisely what can allow adding (and not "replacing") new gameplay modes without cannibalizing existing ones. And if there is a player base demand for it it could make sense for it to be considered.
In one thing at least you are right though, this may very well never happen. But that is FD´s call to make at the end of the day.
