I don't think that "the Devs designed it that way" add anything meaningful to the discussion. That line of reasoning shut down discussion more than anything, because you can use it to any single suggestion or complaint about the game.I'm not here to be entertaining, my points don't need to be "interesting" they need to be honest and relevant to the discussion.
And the fact of the matter is that your ego or your opinion isn't relevant to how others play the game. As long as people are not cheating and playing within the Frontier approved use of their software, then people can sit in any more they like and play the BGS as much as they like.
It is the whole point of the game.
The fact you don't like it means absolutely nothing to anyone else but you. It doesn't change the game design or the rules of the game.
People are not being "rude", mean spirited, cheating or any other way your hissy fit may want to describe it. They are simply playing the game they bought.
Or to put it another way, I think the "offside rule" ruins football and I don't like it.
Is FIFA going to remove it because I don't like it?
Nope, they are not. My feelings don't matter on the topic.
This is a PVE game (because all of it can be played in Solo) with OPTIONAL PvP
So even if people are "avoiding" PvP, they are not doing anything wrong and they are not being "rude".
You are being "rude" by complaining about people who are playing the game legitimately.
You can't hold an intellectual discussion without adding meaningful comments. If you're not interested in an intellectual discussion where we come to an understanding of eachother then that's fine, but then why are you still here talking?
I value discussion and voicing your opinion, what you think, why you think a certain way, learning the other individuals point of view, and why they think so. So far you (addressed not just to quoted person) have only provided what you think, not why you think it. Why do you think that "it's allowed" can be used to justify any behaviour?
I'd also like to note that for several posts several of you have made assumptions of what I do, what I think, and what I feel. But not once have anyone of you bothered to ask about it. Why? Are you happy living with assumptions instead of knowledge?
I'd also like to point out that I've been specifically trying to discuss now is why I find being an aggressor in BGS but playing in Solo/PG to avoid any retribution rude; I'm not discussing Open-only. That's a topic for another day.
