What of the third kind of people that are just not interested. They want to set a narrative for their journey, without the pollution of having to grind mats or coping with DnD nerds playing chaotic evil space vampires.
There's already so few content in Elite. If I want some competitive PvP I'll just launch Quake instead.
If you're not interested what are you doing in Open mode? Open is Open whether you like it or not.
I dont have to cope with chaotic evil nerds in Quake. Everyone is chaotic evil there.
Here, you have an aborted pvp attempt diluted between three factions not even at war, so many PP minibosses marrying each others.
And the usual ganker who'll explode AX ships for the lulz, roleplaying the slightly undiscerning military force.
Should I accept this mediocrity or may I still ask for something a bit more interesting and challenging?
Don't ask. Do it yourself.
