Easy solution: How to enjoy open without toxic players

[Darksnow47]

Learn to stay in high security systems and stay away from the mass pvp systems. I've managed it for 4 years!

Your method just encourages combat logging and will drive pirates and murders out the game which are legit methods of play. Stay in solo matey if you don't like other players or join Mobious and PvE group.

Why should we let the bullies and gankers take Jameson Memorial for themself? Better use the ignore in 15s solution

Unfortunately, this technique doesn't work against solo-mode griefers.

While you may ofc disagree as much as you wish, that doesn't make it any less pathetic.

ofc i think it's like #35 on the mind boggling list of outrageously annoying and pathetic things players do, just because they can.

Lose the P2P and you lose about 95% of that list... I'd be quite happy for ED to go server based, but the beast is as the beast does... so they say in one way or another.

It's really funny watching people trying to act like they are somehow being virtuous, when they are just being sad.

Some PVE games already have solved this little problem by installing a simple mechanic that kill shots the aggressor when firing upon a friendly. Boy that really takes the tide pod right out of the mouth of the mentally dysfunctional!

A quick reminder, please read points 2 and 5.

This is the game you are talking about.
It would me mentally deficient to keep insisting it is any other way.

Doesn't seem harsh enough really. Banned from game for 1 month, or even better if you could get agreement from all parties concerned would be a total internet ban on all devices and possibly a custodial sentence, sharing a cell with an enormous, unhygienic, insomniac gentleman commonly known as a 'Bull Top'.

That is clearly fake news and obviously part of some dastardly russian plot to take over Elite.

Don't forget to add the guy you logged off from in your block list. It's a totally legit way to do too.

And ask FDev to change your CMDR name or, even better, purchase a new account. Just to be sure.

You can never be careful enough these dreadful days while your pixel spaceship is at stake. Safety above all!

This thread is bait.

Ignoring toxic people

What's your CMDR name so I can be sure to avoid interaction with toxic players like yourself?

Why is that man in the silly vest talking to his bait fish?

Not at all, I feel this is deadly serious my Japanese quoting friend.

Hi Morbad

My commander name is Darksnow47. Maybe we can be friends? I really enjoy playing with others in open.

Kind regards

I enjoy Open all the time without toxic players.

Solo gives me my own little private universe, all of the enjoyment- without any of the toxicity.

There's an easy way to enjoy the social aspects in open without being harassed:
- Get a ship with +500mj shields
- When being interdicted change pips to 4-2-0 and throttle down to submit
- boost once in random direction with 100% throttle and FA-off
- directly log out (15sec timer)
- usually they will not even manage to shot you in this short time
- switch to solo, do your thing and switch back to open to enjoy the interaction with the friendly community

The ganker will feel completely ignored. After it happens enough time he will be bored and will do something more productive.

Ignoring toxic people and not giving them more than 15sec of your attention is often the best solution in live.

Enjoy the game commanders

I find a Clipper with grade 5 dirty drives is good for this. Just submit, then boost away in any direction. They won't catch you. The last ganker (and he was) hurled insults at me in the message screen because that's all he could hurl at me )

I found your shoes

I found your shoes

Hi Lucas Jameson. These cannot be my shoes. My shoes disappeared together with my ship when I logged out before you were able to attack me ;-)

None of the actions in the OP's list of instructions are against the rules of the game. This is permitted game play. You might not like it, but it is permitted.

Consensual PvP is lots of fun.

The surprise ganking type, no so much. I approve of your method to deal with anoying types.
As for the salty ganking types : stop playing with food, it's rude
