Do "purple-haired heroes" scare everyone into Solo?

Howd that go?

He was offline and it said that he hadn't played in 9 months

It can be, at least for a little while. Unfortunately, no one ever seems to want to put-up-or-shut-up and go toe-to-toe in stock sidewinders.

Hence, the popularity of CQC.

Because the community says so

Nah, I think it was probably mostly the Engineers.

"Ain't nobody got time for that."

Unless maybe your game is the meta game.

I think plenty of people escape consequences in this game by going to PG or Solo, which is why I mentioned a few posts back that the game experience would be vastly superior if there were one shared mode only in ED where such shenanigans were not possible.

Vastly superior for who though? Certainly not those who aren't interested in playing that way.....biased opinion is still biased....

I was a little disappointed that no one picked up on this earlier

Yes, of course it's biased. All the best opinions are.

I like the words like 'consequences' and 'experience'.
Well, my experience in open was the consequence to hide in PG.

Agreed. And don't get me wrong, we're all entitled to our own opinions so I certainly wasn't suggesting yours is invalid by any means. But it does illustrate that getting consensus here is like trying to convince certain flat earthers that they're wrong ( I was going to go with something more cliched but figured I'd go with something more contemporary.).

For info: without the private groups and without the promised in Kickstarter offline mode there would be this game. Back then, the supporters had little interest in open play.

Goes to hightlight how incredibly pointless and un-enforceable blockades are.

Sure, but hauling grain is just as pointless. For some reason people are doing it though. I guess enjoyment is somehow the deciding factor, and they happen to enjoy 'player interaction'. They don't think they could stop the II for one second by their blockade, but it's a welcome opportunity to get more enjoyment. When people complained that PvP for the lols doesn't serve a purpose in-game and therefore is griefing, they came up the with the RP idea of blockades. I can blame them for a lot of things, like having really bad taste when it comes to hairstyles, but not for that.

Not that you were asking me, but for the record I fired up the game a couple of hours ago just to shut Stigbob (who's on my friends list) up.

The day someone manages to shut up Stigbob is the day the universe will end.

I'll stop just as soon as there's no complaining at all in dang dis.

I can complain harder than you can complain about me complaining, do not test me! Ive learned my whining from the BEST.
