So? what's your point?
Maybe the OP isn't looking properly.
I'v seen too many to count, giving the 'o7' countless times (all in Fleetcomm, I might add) & that's all with trying to avoid player interaction, like hanging around WP's & meeting places!
Are you talking about Open or PG? There's also the effect of open or closed ports in your router settings. Closed ports potentially reduce your chance to meet other commanders as each instance needs at least one commander with open ports. Note that this hasn't anything to do with blocking, cheating or router fiddling. Closed ports are just the standard and way to go for all safety-conscious players. If no one would open their ports then Open would simply not happen! One of the reasons why all sorts of 'Open Only' endeavours are most questionable with ED's network concept that requires at least one player acting as host in any instance. Luckily for ED most players these days don't care all too much about security...

Been playing in DistantworldsXB group on Xbone. Haven't seen anybody since the second basecamp. I really think my interactions are limited by my playtime, which is around 2100-2300 EST, so I feel that its a bit late for the majority of east coasters and too early for the west coasters. That being said, I've seen approximately 5 CMDRs docked in EA everytime I've logged in during the CG. I even ran into a few CMDRs out mining. Shoutout to CMDR Ash Kuro, who I passed in supercruise enroute to the hotspot, CMDR Ratthehatter, and CMDR merolius007. There was another one that I ran into in the rings, but I didn't catch their name.I've lost count but 'lots'. Loads at the dw2 wp stations, plenty at the basecamps and lots at SagA. I haven't seen any on the way between waypoints though.Playing open (early on), mobius and fleetcom
