Cooperate, of course.
I'm not a competitive person, and I don't plan on starting!

Compete or Cooperate?

Yes, it was quite intentional.
Good. I still can't vote for both. I refuse to vote because it's just going to distort the outcome even more.

Actually the fact that it's a wing automatically makes it cooperation. This poll is seeking to prove people are lovers not fighters.
I cannot in all honesty vote.
Compete - I presume you are talking about PvP? ED is far from a PvP game in my eyes. If I want to get my jollies killing other players I play something else built from the ground up to be nothing more than a pure PvP game without a shred of PvE involved.
Cooperate - I don't know anyone else who still plays ED and as I have so little time to enjoy the game myself I find I have no interest in cooperating with any one other than the occasional CG to which I may make one delivery (I am put off doing more due to silly rewards, again just my opinion).
Regardless of the mode I am in I play solo.

In this game I'd go for co-op.
I have nothing against competition but when it is not on even terms - as it can almost never be in this game, except perhaps in CQC - then it seems pointless to me to invest any emotional effort as I'm either going to win by virtue of being in the better position or lose by being in the worse position and I will often have very little idea as to what the situation is till it's too late.
For example - the background sim or PP basically comes down to numbers of supporters - realistically. You might be the most skilled and co-ordinated team or group that ever existed but if you're ludicrously outnumbered in a CG or whatever you're losing - plain and simple.
I see it as more of an experience.

The way I see it, there is no way to cooperate with other players.
PVE is designed to be done by an individual. CZ and RES sites are slower to farm in wings. The trade dividend bonuses are so small that they're not worth the time to collect. Exploration is a solo task as well because split up for a moment and you'll end up at different parts of the galaxy.
The entire game has been designed as a single player game. There are no instances meant to be tackled by groups.
How am I even supposed to cooperate with other players in this game? It's just a waste of time to group up for any sort of pve.
Theres literally no incentive to ever cooperate with other players. It should be no wonder that the average player group is so eager to player kill. Theres literally nothing else to do in the game...

My intrinsic nature pushes me to cooperate
Since you can cooperate to compete then I can only invalidate this poll and not take part.
Sorry.
I fly Solo in Open because all everyone wants to do is farm stuff and that is boring to a Banana.
I have no place in this discussion or voting structure.
I just play the game.

So, in the context of ED, do you prefer to compete against or cooperate with other players?
Note:
Its not a question of PvP/PVE, PvP can be a matter of improving cooperation with wingmates more than beating opponents, PvE can be a matter of competing via the BGS or to get the top spot in a CG.
Its not a question about game modes. Again, you can compete via the BGS from solo. You can cooperate with other players in Open.
Its not a question about specific game mechanics. With powerplay you can cooperate with others to achieve your power's goals and compete against others to beat their power over control of a system.
Many aspects of the game can be viewed as either or both.
But in general, which aspect do you prefer? The ability to compete, or the ability to cooperate?
And yes, two pole options. No fence sitting. Of course, most probably enjoy both. Choose one.
*Proceeds to fence sit*
No, at least not exclusively. Read the OP.
Yet some people cooperate to compete. They are one and the same so unless you put it into a precise context then this poll is moot.
And what of the lone Banana that plays in Open on their own who hates humans.
Do I not have a place here?
In essence, why no solo player option without them having a suicide wish?
P.S.
I don't hate every human or try and kill you, you just make me sad, mostly when I used to be a force for good.
See what you did humans.

I'm regretting that I voted. I want to have a sit on a fence. Can I take my vote back?
