No, this one you see, is about bringing more people to OPEN. The thing you said it wasn't about.

Modes Get off Solo/Private groups and onto Open play!

Ok, but my original reply was to Sylveria about OPEN being empty. I said that open is not empty, its not balanced.
You keep finding unfair advantages were none are. Only one difference between solo and open... ability for players to see and interact with each other... that doesn't give solo an advantage in fact since solo players can't get others to help them they are at a disadvantage against those in open.
And thank you again for busting the "we need open only because open is so empty" argument.
If NPCs posed the same danger as players, there wouldnt be a discussion, but they are not, and by big margin. Solo = easy mode.
Ahh here we are baiting again with antagonistic comments which are false. We know you are god among ED players and none can touch you... but just because YOU think it is easy in Solo does not mean those who play in Solo do. Stay in Open
Never claimed to be a Dev or a moderator, but antagonistic baiting is easy to pick out.
Well since you're the one telling how people should play their game, you're speaking for the the Devs, aren't you
Wow really.. damn you want to streeeeeach to get that one didn't you. yes I did say "Stay in Open" Did you perchance read the whole comment or jsut look at that nugget and pull it out of context.
Irrelevant. If someone finds SOLO difficult, they will be annihilated in OPEN. It doesnt mean the modes have the same difficulty level. They never will.
Players are smarter, faster, have higher DPS and defences than NPCs by a large margin.
Being attacked by 2 NPCs is not the same as being attacked by 2 PvPiers.

That rather depends on the player and the ship / loadout, doesn't it?
Indeed - and given that the majority of players don't get involved in PvP, it's just as well that Frontier offer two other modes for them to play the game in, isn't it?
That's not a problem at all, they can play their game, but if they opt the easy mode and I opt the harder mode our rewards shouldn't be the same.

Flying around in a meta-Engineered Combat ship is not "harder mode".
Flying shieldless in a starter Sidewinder, on the other hand....
hey, seal clubbing is an art which requires the utmost level of skill. what are you talking about??
Yep, because selecting a target and pressing the "fire" button and waiting till it explodes takes an immense amount of "skill".
All of what, 3 seconds of interaction?
ah but you are missing all the prep work beforehand
all the skill entailed in : grinding for materials, RNGing with the engineers, looking up the latest META from SDC/ any other seal clubbing unit
Hours and hours of dedication so that you can really really enjoy those 3 seconds.
And lots of time is dedicated to prep work for PvE activities, too. Hence, that's not "skill" that's just preparation and planning.
PvE is for carebears, requires no skill, and is taking away from the seal population.
[just to be clear - all of the above 3 posts were tongue in cheek]
It's not taking away from anything- players who engage in PvE activities in Solo and Private Groups have done so for the most part continuously- most of them for the entirety of their experience in ED.
There's no "mass exodus" of PvE players from Open. Those who wish to engage in multiplayer activities in Open are still there- and some of them actually continue to post here as well stating they still play in Open.
I know
I'm just making sure no one else misinterprets your posts as "reality" here. 
You forgot the most important bit, do all the prep in solo whilst complaining about solo players.
