The Anti "Griefer" Tactics Thread (Updated Daily!)

Not really...mobius is open play while solo is exactly what it says on the tin. Mobius gives us the option of interacting with others who dont wanna send us to rebuy without so much as a word spoken. If it werent fer mobius, this game would likely be intolerable ^

Nice effort op but likely too little too late in my case...open has already taught me everything I need to know, but yer bound to appeal to the naive players out there...good luck ^

I wonder if FD would have made more effort with C&P by now if there was only Solo and Open. Möbius may be part of the problem not the cure
 
I really hope not, that would be an X-Files level of conspiracy.

No conspiracy needed. Let's face it, in the past whenever someone has come with a 'I was griefed..' thread there is always plenty of people advising 'möbius'. Therefore problem solved no need to spend time sorting out open when there is alternate open

I would consider mobius more of a consequence to counter the actions of the few who ruin open...ye do know mobius isnt the only private group, just the most talked about and the biggest. If mobius itself is the problem, the same could be said fer any private group that doesnt play openly as content fer others.

I dont think its helping, but I dont it as a cause, more a consequence. Having the pvp players telling everyone not happy with open play to 'git gud or get lost in mobius' probably didnt help matters much either...they literally sent players there with their official seal of approval.

And now they cry constantly about it...a situation largely of their own making...pure comedy gold and Im secretly laughing at them every time these threads come up. One reaps what one sows imo ^

True. They attack us on every occasion in the safe forum enviroment.
And also ingame, immedately they shout DIRTY DIRTY GRIEFER.
I think those people need relentless education.
Gonna start a Anti-Anti-Griefer event soon.
Compared to us they don't have the will to fight and enjoy the game.

Wow, and you wonder why they don't want to play with you?
 
Building a fast Sidey or Eagle and chain interdicting people is pretty great. Really gets the salt flowin' when they can't catch you.

Or just get something that runs silent and realize that most of them run gimbals and are only decent due to their superior firepower, which is worthless when they can't hit you lol.

One on one it seems many of these guys are average pilots, at best. Hence the 4v1 gank situations you may often find yourself in.
 
One thing I've found about Elite, ironically, which i haven't found in any other game...

The PVErs are actually so much more aggressively against the PVPers on here and other forums that i wonder who the real bad guys are!
That's selective observation talking.

PvEer who repped the OP, read the comments 'Mobius' and 'Solo', thought "take it elsewhere"

Problem with Elite is, its a game with PVPers in it, that is also played by very entitled PVEers who believe they have more right to an opinion within the franchise.
Problems with you, not PvPers, you is:

You use selective observation in your judgment towards PvEers. (edit: before you start off, sure happens towards PvPers as well, but wouldn't your rather rise above that, than sink into it?)
You generalise a large group of people based on your selective observations.

So please, spare me the Special Victim Unit routine and throw more tips towards the OP if you want to contribute.

I propose the following to Frontier Developments:

Allow players to put blinking warning lights in the galaxy map around systems that just have been Griefed! With annoying warning sound too, so it can never be missed. This will attract do-gooder bounty hunters and keep weak players away form the fun action.

!WARNING!
Reports of Griefers in the area, stay clear or get busy!

I was thinking like a red glowing ring around the attacked systems.

Kinda funny, whenever there is a thread about the bad bad griefers.....there is immedately a Mobius-lover in there too. :D

I like PVP, but find griefers boring there's lots of PVP in CZ's in Mobius.

I'm a mobius player myself but even I have to agree with the OP here. Knowledge is power, and a good tool in defeating griefers is teaching people HOW to deal with griefers. Take someone unfamiliar with them and encourage them to try open witbout educating them and they're just gonna panic, die, and go leave open again for good, and simply telling them to "git gud" is insulting and unhelpful.

It's not a full solution to the problem, but good on the OP for trying something positive.

I used to post helpful stuff just like the OP in fact I still have an escapology guide ready to be pasted into threads just like this. But that was a while back. FD are not going to fix murder trolling because they can't or they would have done it already, griefers gonna grief.

Mobius has all the advantages and none of the hassle, it also works unlike the speed limit, law enforcement fines and bounties. Let them have open.

This is putting the cart before the horse. Mobius was created as an answer to the tulips, there would be no need for it if it weren't for the selfish play of certain cretins.

Wow, I'm a pretty sweary bloke in RL, this harsh sweary filter is doing my <deleted> head in!

Edited because this filter is SO harsh. Replace "tulip" with something else :)

Firstly, every single post on here is a generalisation because 100% of nobody agrees with the same thing.

Secondly, read the forums yourself and tell me, do you see more hate toward the griefers/pvp, or from the PVP crowd about PVEers? The PVPers tend to keep it in game, the judgement comes out here. SDC might be the big bad wolves of Elite (and no, i don't know any of them, not affiliated with them and certainly not part of them) but i barely never see them on here judging how PVEers play their game, and when i do see them post its usually defending their own actions in a stereotypical griefers thread.

Thirdly, no victim unit, if you check my history I'm generally unbiased toward all play styles and have even given tips in threads about how NOT to be a victim.
