Ok, now you said it twice, and you're being critical of other people's assumptions.
Show me how Mobius players represents a minority. Not consists of, represents.
Elite: Carebear

That's not true now the block list actually works people may be willing to return if they can tailor their version of open to remove specific players.
Between in-game interactions, Reddit, the forums, and YouTube, I thought I'd been called every name in the book. But now I realize, there's one name that I've yet to be called: "carebear". And this realization is causing me to feel desperately incomplete. So could someone, *please*, call me a carebear, in order to complete my collection?
You are a carebear, you also make me laugh please keep overlording.
Not a requirement, but can be a component...

One sight issue with drawing conclusions from your stats: you are unlikely to die from an unarmed Explorer or Trader.
Hence you are not going to see (m)any deaths from those sorts of players, and I don't know what you can conclude unless you also have stats on every kill you have also made, and the type of ship they were in.
Which would be quite interesting if you can dig those up please?
I fail to see how anything I said did such, though your reply is a standard and very predictable one that is seen before, so its difficult not to make assumptions about your intent and behaviour unfortunately.

Explain how being obliterated and not having any chance to prevent it is fun?
Oh so now its anacondas not Cutters? Once again, you shift the goalposts. Convenient. Look. I'm not highlighting CMDRs who have been playing long enough to learn how to escape, or CMDRs in strong ships. Its been made clear time and again that I'm talking about seal clubbing, and only seal clubbing.
No, ED's core design is to make credits and climb the ship hierarchy. If guns were the main focus, they wouldnt be optional.
See above.
Not hurt at all, just pointing out that you leapt in immediately with an insult.
Care to outline how?
One would assume you have figures to quantify a statement like that.
His point is that there is a trend to paint PvP with broad, negative, and generally inaccurate, strokes.
Frankly, neither of those forms of PvP hold much appeal for me. I don't much like organized matches because they are too artificial and have too many rules...they aren't representative of the combat I see in more organic encounters, and focusing only on organized matches, while useful for developing certain core skills, leaves one unprepared for other challenges. Likewise, I don't 'seal club' because it brings me no enjoyment as a player and serves none of my CMDRs goals.
PvP is a huge spectrum of activities undertaken for a huge variety of reasons.
Trying to shoehorn PvP players into a single community is a prime example of the over generalizations that are habitually made.
PvP must dominate the ruleset because the PvE systems are incapable of pushing the boundaries of what's possible and thus incapable of revealing flaws to the same degree.
Any structure or system has to be build around the outliers...catering only to the mean gives you something highly unsound that's prone to collapse when an uncommon strain presents itself.
I disagree that Elite lacks this. Elite: Dangerous' sandbox is simply more abstract. As is much of the PvP.
In Minecraft you build with blocks. In Elite you build with the background sim and public perception. In the former, the 'sand' is literally the terrain. In the later it's politics, economics, and belief.
I personally consider ED to be a sandbox MMO.
Fracturing Open into a cluster of arbitrarily exclusionary instances is no return to Open, just a degradation of it's function and purpose.
Dropping off merits in an A-rated Python (before engineers).
Interdicted by a wing of 4, 2 Anacondas, 1 FdL, 1 FAS within 5 seconds of jumping in system (barely chance for the scanner to resolve targets).
Submit, boost, high wake, boost, barrel roll, chaff (pointless but maybe...), jink, boost.
Killed before I could jump.
Pretty unlucky. Fairly random control system so having a wing of 4 there waiting was unexpected. I'm not sure what I did wrong there though so could you explain how the game works for me?
Not that I'm complaining. It was a well organised hit and they deserved the kill.
Python...occasionally packs a punch, but always a death trap. It's got that wonderful combination of soft and slow that makes it hard to get out of trouble when real trouble shows.
Well, I'm sure there were some tactical errors as well, but I really don't like the Python.

As one of the low-skill, entitled players, we won't be buying anything to keep your servers on, if you drive us off.
World Of Warplanes prided itself on seal-clubbing. Now, they have about 500 players on (or so), waiting a looooong time for matches.
Surely there's a better answer than "get a better ship"? I've just bought one of those things and it's been doing me well, but I'd hate to have no chance whatsoever of escaping.

Drop out of SC the moment you realize there are CMDRs in system, precharge your low-wake, then wait to see if someone hostile drops in?
Ah, the harsh realities of life...
Sounds like what someone highly suspicious would do, so that works absolutely fine for me. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.
As does Michael Shannon probablyKneel before Zull?
Terrance Stamp wants a word.
Or perhaps Slavitza Jovan

There are plenty of mmos with a pve only server where you cant attack another player at all so saying shooting someone is a core design of multiplayer games is ridiculous. If you mean shooting at others is a core design in elite then say that.
As someone else also pointed out though, its not even a core design in elite, otherwise having weapons on ships would be compulsory.
