Oh really?
So when players are given a choice, they'd sooner opt for a chilled game without PvP than put up with the antics of other people.
I fully get that. After working for the public most of life, I'd sooner not spend my downtime with them.
"Antics", there's the thing.
I understand that some people like PvP. The problem is, they don't band together, arrange a league (OK a few do), make a private group, organise a free-for-all in a stated system, organise piracy competitions and
fight each other. Instead, I get told things like "I'm going to grief other players because I like PvP and I'm bored with everything else ED offers".
I don't buy that excuse. First, griefing isn't really PvP; the person doing it is never taking any risk. Second, boredom isn't an excuse for being obnoxious. If someone is afflicted by such a poverty of imagination that they can't enjoy ED for what it is and they think the best use of it is to spoil other people's enjoyment too, then I don't want to play alongside them. That's why solo and PG are such useful options. Coping with human nature in this respect is why the modes are such a brilliant design.
So "griefers" need to consider that every time they "grief", or even talk about "griefing" or cause others to talk about it, they are actually justifying and reinforcing the mode system they claim to dislike.
