Oh for block's sake!

I agree.
People are acting as if restoring a few CMDRs is this game's doom. I even need to be ashamed of myself when bringing it up.
Oh well.... ganker gets his kill, explorer doesn't lose his progress. Win win. It's all good
The thing that baffles me is why anybody is still playing with people they don't want to in a game with a searchable block function.
With that many players in a small area, there's always those who aren't aware of it. Or chose not to use it.
I never used the block function, since I always made sure not to end up in these situations.
So all this is really a non-issue? Good to know
Player choice is always good. Maybe its time for an informative blocking thread in the new players sub forum to raise awareness of this fantastic feature.
For me it is indeed. Thanks to the FSSSo all this is really a non-issue? Good to know
Because it encourages staying mediocre. Challenge is crucial to any worthwhile experience.
It's a game. Meant to be enjoyed. Any which way one likes. Not any which way anyone else likes.
I can assure you DWE wasn't a mediocre experience.
Might have some merit there, at least. If one accepts the premise that new players are forever doomed to dwelling in mediocrity and the necessity to go howling for a hall monitor every time someone hurt their feelings. Personally, I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they would rather learn to stand up for themselves by learning the basics.
One thing is for sure, though: promoting the use of block on the PvP sub is pretty lick spittle, given that the purpose of the sub is to actually engage other players
Didn't exist during DWE. Mind you, as far as most DWE2ers were concerned, it didn't exist either.
DWE wasn't mediocre. Obviously.
I'm saying encouraging a "don't challenge me ever" approach is lame.

Frankly, I think most people do want to rise to the challenge. It's a relatively small, vocal minority here that would prefer to drag everyone down to their level.
And so we now have an Open PVE server. NiceIts no biggie if its in the PG and you sent a ticket. Frontier will restore your data and relocate you. I know a few people who sent tickets and got put back with no questions asked
Don't challenge me to participate in areas of the game I'm not interested in. Not unlike requiring someone who loves combat or PvP to have to scan 100 ELWs before he can participate. Or that famous 5,000 LY trip for Palin, which was completely arbitrary.
Being wiling to stand tall look someone in the eye and say "I won't play with you" shows intelligence and strength of character.

This is the PVP sub is it ?, I just followed a Ziggy Stardust post in the news panel.
And yet not as lame as everyone having to, or wanting to play the same way.
I see it as difficulty levels in other games, choose whatever you want, whenever you want.
But this is repeating the same thing that's been said for five years now.
Basic outfitting and flying competency are areas of the game every Commander should be interested in. If not, what are you even doing playing?
Rubbish. I used to compete in Laser, Flying D and Finn regattas, it was hard work with long days on the water, and very much worthwhile - now, I'm more than happy kicking back in pretty much anything and enjoying the calm serenity of it all - we had a J20 for a while which was minimally challenging, but also very much worthwhile. On the rare ocassion I get to ride these days, I'm not going to telemark my old somewhere insane or waste my days on double blacks, I'm going to glide around effortlessly in knee deep powder off-piste - no challenge, but so unbeatably worthwhile. I also very much enjoy sitting on the beach enjoying the sites and sounds around me - a very worthwhile experience imo. So, please do carry on thinking that every recreational moment must be filled with challenge to be 'worthwhile', but you're wrong.
