This is the "being thick on purpose" argument method, isn't it?
Especially if you're the one doing the 'blowing up'?
In my post, I was just recounting my personal experience. I play the game as I wish, as you suggest, and really don't care how others play. Well, maybe except for those who get blown up in open and then come here and cry about it.
Repped.

I chose that word "getting" intentionally, so please don't try to change my words.
"Getting" implies you're not the one "doing" the killing.
I object to people always suggesting people play in PG when they come for advice about open.
If you don't play in open or don't have something relevant to offer ("Just play in Mobius!" doesn't count.), then just butt out.
Pretty simple to me.
I promise, I don't comment on PG threads, at all.
Thanks, Stalker.
By the way, that little BgS war we had between NF and EXO was a ton of fun. I'm sure you heard, but we all had a blast with that.
Lol, I was in it and yes it was a good one. We did have a blast mate, the good thing is we can still get along once business is out of the way.

Agreed! There're a few activities where even I'll jump into Solo just so I know I'll be left alone.

I didn't change your words. "Getting blown up" infers that someone is doing the 'blowing up'. Could be you, could be someone else. Simple.
As for non-relevancy, well, many posts here could fall into that category. Last I checked, it's a free forum.
I really appreciate your thinking outside the box. Seems to be a rare occurrence these days. I see no other way to build bridges between PvPers and PvEers.
Thanks. That means a lot to hear. I'll probably still screw up and act like a jerk now and again, but, I am honestly trying.

Now you are equivocating and taking things out of context.
Do I need to refresh your memory?
And yes, you are free to do many silly things that you should not.
That would include digging a deeper hole like you are doing now.
If you want be the noise to the signal, perhaps you should ask yourself why.
People have differing conditions for what is enjoyable. For many people that can change at times and that is all perfectly reasonable human condition.
Defining a superior experience depends on what each persons conditions are. So if you try to make a statement that one mode is superior than another you can be both correct and incorrect both being a "fact" depending on ones criteria. It should not be a way of judging other players although it seems to be pretty common.
Each and every actor and action in this game is influenced by every actor and action. Someone in solo makes a bgs action it affects everyone in every mode just as any action in any other mode affect that actor. It is a balanced system in that regard.
Certain actions have less of an affect than others regardless of mode.
Some people do not like a play style (PvP, PwP, PvE) and actions can be easier or harder depending on the mode: however, they are all valid. The problems arise when the actors decide their mode/actions are the correct ones and nobody else is doing it "right".
The system is quite well thought out in my opinion could it be better? Perhaps, but many of its deficiencies are not a result of the system but of the actions and exploits of the actors. That is something that the game designers have little control over.
Make a rule, there are people who will go out of their way to break it. Even if its counter productive to their cause.
All of the modes are fun.

Given the recent rep, I'm not sure who is digging the hole here. But whatever floats your boat.
As for the comment "There is nothing wrong with getting blown up", well, that is your opinion. Which you are entitled to of course.
But that's all it is. Get over it.
Now I'm going to go 'chill out'.

No it's actually not my opinion, it's the way the game is designed and explicitly described by the people who made it.
I generally don't rely on my opinion so nothing to get over, for me.
Promotion is great. Advertise the hell out of your preferred mode. If you can get players to voluntarily seek out a mode to experience what it's like and make up their own minds they like it there, disco!
What you have to be careful is that you don't alienate your target audience by dissing the play style they are currently engaged in. That detracts from your effort since it will put them on the defensive.
^ That. Totally that. And there are lots of people on this forum guilty of that mistake, PvP and PvE alike.
Does that mean you are opposed to the OP's sentiment?
edit: how about your own?
2 things,
1. Not your call to make. If Open is open (ptp) to promotion, so are other modes
2. It depends on the post in question. When the post asks for advice how to handle opponents in Open, suggesting PG is not very helpful. But despite popular (in the PvP section of the forum) belief those PG advices are rare. They are usually posted when someone complains CMDRs are blowing them up during CGs, or something like that.

Which one?
That's a lack of a hang up.
I am being consistent.
I didn't make up the game or rules.
I missquoted. Pologies, fixed now.
Is that a fish goatie?
