FD promoting griefing?

Of course, even in the Wild West, a dangerous place, murderous individuals were made accountable for their actions... Some might say, that's not the case in ED. But then, given the limited mechanics at the moment, if penalties are implemented, how on earth do you allow concensual PvP (eg: for fun) to take place? I still think dedicated zones/arena for PvP would be nice, and possibly an answer to that issue

I think people should perhaps request an alternative to Open, rather than making open Closed. And given you're now trying to engage me in a PVP vs PVE debate, ignoring your own topic to proselytize your brand of how the game should work, I am going to parachute out; because it's clear you are not listening.

Fly Safe.

Maybe. [big grin]

Sorry for the disturbing, wasn't quite as much traffic on Xbox.

I remember someone taking a hostage on XBox. Unfortunately it was during a peak so I 'asked' him to leave if he wasn't in need of fuel.

I bet it could be a great RP if the timing was a little better

And I believe this is about the point where the conversation goes full godwin, in a pretty clumsy attempt to try and make a point.

Nobody mentioned Hitler or the     s yet :O (wooops)

Some folks have been asking for PvE and PvP servers since before the game went live.

Not everyone wanted a PvP Only game - alas, they answer was "don't play open then".
Now we have those folks complain there is not enough people in open - yet fail to connect the dots, they told people to leave open...... d'uh.

Back to the topic though... as I'm currently reading news items on Reddit, are they reporting the news or promoting for me copy the headlines?.... because I'm not sure I'll get around to committing all those crimes before lunch.

Was that during on Black Friday last year? I think I remember someone joining the IRC and demanding cheese for hostages ...

Now that is the best thing I have read on this thread. I lol'ed at that
Error, if that was you total respect

So if one is in an anarchy system, one has free reign to burn a fuel rat, because it's a "dangerous place" full of "murderous players"? You do understand that virtually every non-populated system, from SOL to Beagle Point, is anarchy..

I don't even.

One has free reign to do so wherever they wish.

My post was addressing the punishments for doing so.

"I don't even", indeed.

No cheese for me but I did get sum limpets. How does it feel contributing to piracy with your donation?

This quote I will have to disagree with. I believe one of the reasons this article was posted was how distasteful the actions of this Commander was to the the Community at large.

Here is a game where player vs player aggression is so lightly punished that it has become one of its selling points by a large portion of the community. Anyone can attack anyone for any or no reason and get away with it. And yet there is a player based line of morality that the FDevs had no part in creating, that was defined and defended solely by the player base and is supported by almost everyone in the game.

When the FDevs saw the reaction of its player base to what was in reality a simple act of aggression, blow up into what it did. Reporting it was their way of showing this community has a level of morality, in spite of the image of anarchy this game has been trying to portray.

To have a community created line of morality in a lawless system gives is something I hope gets reported more often.

Fair point... But TBH, I would have thought given the distasteful out-of-game witch hunt, it was even more of a reason not to highlight the matter... ie: Doesn't do much for the community/game image etc.

Personally, I wasn't even aware of the "out of game antics" until after this thread was created.

Heh sure. I remember we got mentioned on the stream aswell lol.

Only for the kill though not the hostage taking.

Yep. Which doesn't have anything to do with the topic you raised. Hijacking your own thread to start yet another PVE vs PVP debate. I absolutely didn't see that coming a mile away.

*cough*

Fly Safe, CMDR.

Why are you lurching from confrontation to confrontation? Have you just considered, people talk about things... So ignore, agree, disagree as you choose... But why make it so personal over and over? Be friendly and nice... Go on... I'm a nice guy... I wouldn't even shoot a Fuel Rat!
