OMG, when will ppl like the OP get it . this is not a typical MMO, it dont matter what other players are doing are not doing , they was sold an idea that they could play the game anyway they wanted , yes ANY WAY THEY WANTED. That means not forced into something.
theres 3 modes :
OPEN; where you get to play with others of a like mind griefers, gankers, and all out idiots, but also some good players.
GROUP ; PPL of a like mind that want other players in there game but but not the gankers, griefers, etc, Groups like MORBIUS which is a PVE group, so no ganking or other crap , just you and other players against what ever the game throws at you. Also this GROUP lets you play with just your friends in there own little sandbox of a game .
SOLO; where ppl that want to play on there own with no interference from any other player. these are ppl that wanted mainly offline mode, (thats only a guess). But these ppl want to play the game on there own where they immerse themselves in the environment with no outside interference.
So lets take away the last 2 groups from the game SOLO & GROUP what do you think is going to happen to those players from them 2 groups, you my think that they will play the game in OPEN, well i can tell you they will not, they will go play another game or do something else. Me i would not have bought the game if it was just OPEN play only, why , cause i like playing in the PVE group MORBIUS with other players against the environment and not have to worry about some idiot player that gets off on ganking newbies and players just for the fun of it, you ppl keep comparing the game to EVE, its not EVE it never will be , so get over it ,want EVE go play EVE.
Stop trying to change something that has been said it won't be and never will be, play the game YOUR way and let others play THERE way. Trying to force ppl in to OPEN play will only force them to go else where.
