Name and shame

Even in my I my anti PvP thinking days I disagreed with the no naming and shaming, now I am pro game in thinking but still dislike the no name and shame policy, but I am an honest truthful reliable person and as such would never misuse or abuse such a function if it were available to me, but are/would others. I think not.

It's bad enough when they (rarely) kill me, I'm not going to let them urinate me off as well.

This is the only forum I have ever joined or contributed to, because its so friendly, helpful and so so funny on times.

Naming and shaming could, not necessarily would but could ruin it (I believe it would), I'd rather not risk it. So begrudgingly I have to agree. This is a great site the moderators do a great job I want to keep it just the way it is. (checked the preview, sweet it got through)

Agreed!.

I am all for exposing genuine tossers however just naming and shaming is too open to abuse.

If a genuine griefers goal is to wind someone up, then what better way than to target select people en masse on a forum and spread lies.

Now if the game has a fight recorder as you play, allowing you to edit for highlights etc (which is something many have asked for for other reasons).... If a commander was caught redhanded on film as it were, and that happened to find its way onto a video site with a link........ I would be more for that.

Someone needs to set up an offsite list of bag players so we can go find their names..

And how do you know you can trust that list? Some people have agendas and there are always two sides to every story. Maybe someone will add your name to it just because they don't like you for whatever reason?

This is why there is no name and shame on the forums. And forums are not the place for a trial.

I now realise that since kill 50 I have made no progress, I have learned nothing, yeah made a load of credits but it's not about them.

I now realise that since trade 3 I have made no progress, I have learned nothing, yeah made a load of credits but it's not about them.

50 kills take longer than 3 trade trips.

Suffice to say he is now blocked.

If you start blocking everyone who is more aggressive than you or a better combat pilot than you then how are you ever going to improve your own skills?


Treat everyone as a potential hostile until their actions show otherwise.

As has been repeatedly stated, the Ignore functionality is not an all-out block, it just bumps the Ignored player down the matchmaking list.

Another basic PvP type discussion, this is the first time I have contributed to this type of topic. I wanted to be sure how I felt before sharing my two cents, as its become far more complex to me than it first appeared.

Playing since PB reading the forum since start but only joined at beta. So I am familiar with the direction the game is going and its aims.

I have read far far to many posts regarding PvP for/against/solo/multiplayer it seems never ending. A lot, is people jumping on here venting just regurgitating the same old same old and not realising it, or just not caring. Most complainers are early if not first time posters, most not all OK.
Its very negative and only hurts our game, the game both sides of the argument love. But it is always the same people desperately (bear with me not being provocative) trying to defend there position.

Me, strongly against PvP, I don't and will not be somebody's game content. I am a trader, I don't want combat. Happy to fly in multiplayer, doesn't mean I want to interact with you (the old I have to work with you, I don't have to be friends with you concept (one I like)). So for a long time there I stood, immovable as, you know, "them", the other types if you don't like it go solo blah blah blah.

However, lets just consider this realistically. I will not be made to feel I have to play off line, lets be straight about this, if I elect to play solo for whatever reason I decided to do that nobody made me do anything. (The big boys made me do it then ran away).

So, at some point I WILL be attacked, if not by PC then by an NPC (gonna happen even in solo with NPC's), so there exists a need for me to be able to defend myself. This is when my thinking started to take a different path or outlook. I will not choose to fight but I must be able to at least defend myself. So I sold my trader bought a Cobra and went off to the FDS. I now have 800 kills 798 NPC, one accidental murder and one good old fashioned revenge killing. I got very good way before 800 but for other reasons kept going.

I now realise that since kill 50 I have made no progress, I have learned nothing, yeah made a load of credits but it's not about them. Can I defend myself? well can I? yeah! very good killing NPC's but there every move is predictable, as is there counter moves. You must have noticed this, its not just because your becoming awesome, your just following what you've done, what 800 times before.

So am I any good? who knows! But there sure is one way to find out. I have been following some of the commanders who some of you have issues with, some on twitter, you know who you are. I now very much look forward to meeting them in space, not just yet though, at some stage I will go looking for them, note looking not hunting. I realise the ONLY way to really learn or progress in game is to constantly challenge myself (it's not them I'm fighting) There will be no sneaking up on them, they will no doubt repeatedly kick my backside, I may never beat them, but I will beat any NPC and YOU. I may not be as good as them, but I will be better than YOU.

There is now no doubt in my mind, that there is a place for this type of player, in fact all or any type. This type of player can only help to make my game better for me. I now do not think them/us or PvP/PvE now I think ME ME ME.
(I think that's were some of them are coming from, not sure though).

Also as a result I am now far more open minded about the game. I have never yet (well hardly) been set upon by human players and have yet to come across the evil doer's but it would seem, in some way they have already improved my gaming experience.

I still intend to be a trader, but with my ever improving combat skills I can also on times become a very handy bounty hunter. But who knows, if times get tough, you do what you have to do, that could be you. I won't want to but I have a family two ships cats and a crew to feed.

I am not pro PvP, I am very pro not being made to feel I have to go solo, therefore I am pro multiplayer, therefore have to accept ALL that entails. When PvP types say you can go solo, there not saying go solo, there saying, look its a choice open to you, up to you, just saying that's all. (there will always be a few who really mean expletive off to solo, I'm no fool)

So to finish, all you PvP and pirate guys out there it would seem that despite what I thought I thought, it would appear that that's not what I thought after all and that apparently I am up for it after all. See you soon.

You, sir, deserve a medal.
