Because they will turn... to evil!!! Muahaha!!!
My view is, don't change Open, there actually are players who don't do griefing or PvP but love to play in Open for the challenge to avoid the griefers. But do add some PvP-flag and other flags to the PGs. Make the PGs into true player-groups, so players can choose.
yup, agree, it's fun (if you know how to survive)... even have an second account that is open only.
What has happend in DW2 isn't representative of the game in whole. The event became a magnet for attention, then evolved into a battle of moral high ground.
Apart from a few tactics, everything looks fine to me... we can't help players that get upset, especially if they play in open, but its understandable if they got upset when ganked in fleetcom. That was taking advantage of unaware targets, with a false sense of security, believing that the groups rules had any sort of authority.... so, they got frustrated and upset, and that became self fuelling, and then we saw some terrible comments from some explorers.
Still, the gankers and grifers knew exactly what they where up to, and some wish for such 'over the top' reactions.. then they act as if it 'out of order', taking the moral high ground.
There is no right or wrong here, as far as i can see. Just that different people want different things from the game, and some don't understand why other would want to upset them so much... after all, its just a game
