Well I play in Open and solo depending on situation and whether I want possibility of somebody messing with my plans. Best of both worlds I say. Need to visit somewhere like Deciat. Solo mode on. Do some serious mining, solo mode on. Flying routine flight and not doing anything particularly important, Open is good choice. Wanting to see sometimes silly action, Shinrarta Dhezra in open....especially as if you fly some mean looking ship you can stay as spectator most times
a solo player in open simply realizes he havent skill to counter another brain, and rekt.
yeah my whole 10 mins of PVP (which i died granted) in over 700 hours was a real bummer. The other 100 or so hours i have spent playing and having fun with other players (in non-pvp activities) helps me get over my 10 mins of "annoyance".
I appreciate what you're saying but people are different and have different tolerances, you may feel a little inconvenienced by getting interdicted and ganked the twice it happened to you but others may feel very differently about the very thought of it, some folks are so scared of the dentist that they never go, others are there for every check up and more to boot, my (now deceased) Uncle Bob was so terrified of having his hair cut that he used to faint.
Seemingly
.... or the Solo player realises that they can enjoy the whole* game without ever playing in Open among those that they may not find to be "fun" to play with, by design.
Yeap if your going to deciat and your worried (especially if its your first trip) go into solo. To be honest if i was to go to Borann (or whatever its called) then even i would suggest a quick change of mode.Well I play in Open and solo depending on situation and whether I want possibility of somebody messing with my plans.

The only thing you can't really do in PG and Solo is meet and greet and co-op strangers and make 'new' friends... should you choose
so just because someone isnt good enough we all have to play an easy win game where a player make bilions end game ship and other stuff in about 3 days https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/need-cutter-build-advice-pve-im-a-newbie.540506/And well some people do not have stomach for engineering grind, or regardless of how much they train great ability to do combat. I for examply am such poor pilot that I would get beaten by NPC's if not flying engineered Cutter with tons of shield enforcements added. And I'm not ashamed to admit that
I get beaten by NPC's anyway, as I have no interest in combat in Elite Dangerous I follow one rule, Guns are for shooting Shields are for defence... so you can leggit, if I turn to shoot I'm there longer, so no guns fitted.And well some people do not have stomach for engineering grind, or regardless of how much they train great ability to do combat.

people play solo not for enjoy the game, but for easy win the game. it is different
The introduction of pan-modal system chat has changed that a bit.
While some no doubt hold that opinion, it's nothing more than an opinion - in a game where playing among other players is an option and always has been.
I paid for my game too and it says three modes on the box, I choose my mode.
Well thats kind of question more towards game developers and people marketing those games. Do you want to make product that is targeted to very very small minority of real afficionados, versus wider audience. Or to be worded simpler, do you as game developer hate money?
Not at all - we have this game because it was pitched (over seven years ago) with three game modes, mode mobility and a single shared galaxy state.
I don't know, I was thinking along the lines of flying 'wing' with a stranger kinda riding shotgun,* I don't think that's possible is it?
