Fair enough. Don't be disappointed when all the pigeons won't hold still. I play open and left Saturday arriving Omega Mining Sunday night. Proper op sec states the best way to slip a punch is to not be there.
It's a big galaxy commander, and if want to kill a pigeon you gotta find it first. Now I'm sitting in Omega station. When will I leave and where will I go? Not with the herd you may count on that. You've got 4000 jumps ahead of you if you can stand it. 4000 chances to kill a ghost called Paladin if you can just lay your hands on it. After Colonia you are on my turf, in my playground. I don't need guns, and won't bother killing you. I'll just leave you alone with the tedium of the deep till the space madness takes hold. Meanwhile I'll wrap the black about me like a cloak. I'm in my element. You are not.

Son, until you've ground out enough materials to god-roll the entire module suite on a fleet of combat vessels, you haven't the foggiest notion of what real "tedium" is. Thas royt, I'm 100% old school, and after scouring the universe's black hole for tens of thousands of g4 & g5 materials only to watch the fu#$ing roulette wheel spin them all into negative values with cold tears of shame and self loathing running down my face, chasing you down to Beagle Point and sending you back to the rebuy screen is going to be a walk in the park. You think you can out run me, rabbit? Just ask the tortoise how that little story goes. You think you can hide from me? Really? Buddy, I'm the boogyman, and when you slip into your dark little hidy hole snickering to yourself about how clever you are, I'll be right there behind you, smiling in the shadows.

See you in the black, CMDR.

The bullies are merely exploiting the system, just as I exploited the persistent HGEs.

Unless Frontier is actually pressured enough to actually implement a C&P which can discriminate between deliberate bullying and accidental behavior, as well as meaningfully punish deliberate bullying whilst avoiding draconian punishment for accidental behavior, discussions like this are probably not going to help much. I have yet to accept this myself.

Hyperbole commencing:

Ever want to be an Intergalactic BULLY?
Well then Elite Dangerous is THE GAME for YOU!

Remember when you were a kid in school and wished you could be That Bully That Everyone Feared?

Well You can be That Bully Right NOW!

For only 29.99 you can slaughter defenseless Actual Human Beings anywhere in The Entire Milky Galaxy!

Blaze your own Trail

In Blood!

No Consequences!
No Punishment!

Buy Elite Now!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

You know... we tried the game with no hollow icons to designate players once.

You know what?

Everyone hated it.

Except gankers.

We adapted and used it to our advantage in beta.

But they said it was a mistake and backed off the change.

Funny how that kind of thing works out.

Follow the the spiral arm from beagle point to the megaship Zurara in a Cobra MIII and you might have a prayer commander. Real old school doesn't involve engineers. Until you've done that you are really just a wannabe. Find Raaxla and you will see me "in the black"

I don't care what kind of landing gear you're packing on the bottom of your t6, "actual human beings" are not really being harmed in this "game."

Hmmmmm... with Generation Entitlement making up a significant part of the player base, I'd say psychological harm could still be debatable. Some of them may be so scarred that they will never want to play a space sandbox again.

This generational entitlement and easily hurt feelings must explain why the admins of Fleetcomm slammed the gate so hard behind their sensitive little rears:D

Agreed. However, I believe, and thankfully too, that the great majority who are victims of Intergalactic Bullying just shrug it off and tootle merrily on. Despite that, however, one cannot compare internal states and there will be a few that will psychologically view an objectively minor setback as significant, a child for example.

The gamut of psychological sensitivity is staggering and should not be underestimated.

There is enough suffering and seeming injustice IRL. People play games to distract themselves from that, not reinforce it.

That is not to say bullies don't also have the right to exploit the game's mechanics or lack thereof. But in the overall interest in the joyfulness of Elite Dangerous, if there is another way for them to get their jollies other than bullying, I certainly wish they could/would do so.

Child in this video sounds fine. It's the egotistical adults that scream and cry over the derezzing of their space pixels.
