I'm gonna go ahead and say that psychos are irritating whether they're npc or human. Getting jumped 1v4 because you're wanted is your fault. Getting jumped because you exist? That's annoying, and shame on FD for making poor design choices and leaving them as they are for so long.

You're missing the point. I'm not saying I approve. I don't. I fly in open mostly, I have flown in mobius and other private groups when I want to not have to worry too much about being randomly ganked. The point is that FD have no issue with griefing, nor with people invading a private group to cause mischief. They broke the rules of the private group, but not the rules of the game. It's up to mobius to police their members, not FD. This will happen again, I guarantee it and FD will not do anything about it. They quietly approve of this style of gameplay. If the style of gameplay that is approved by FD doesn't sit well with a player, then perhaps that player should play something else. That's all I'm saying.
Tldr, fd approve this style of gameplay. If people don't like it, play another game.
If enough people took this advice, then FD would have problems on a whole new level.
It isn't. The only 'rules' are those contractually agreed by the customer, as laid out in the EULA - which (obviously) does not state that exiting from a game is contrary to the terms. The claim that so-called 'combat logging' is against any kind of rule is based on the entirely erroneous idea that a posting from someone from Frontier can amend a legally-binding contract.
That's a bit the core of the problem isn't it? Let's hope enough players like this style of gameplay and enough players are happy with the Solo Mode and their own little private groups.
Otherwise…
I dont PP myself, but it'd be a crying shame if lots of players in solo PP'd this system. Just sayin.
Yep in a multiplayer game while in combat with each other thats not allowed & frankly quite asocial.
hardly a puzzel he?
Obviously they're not, are they... or FD seem to think the current situation's untenable... or Sandro wouldn't be looking at changing it.

ah well if it are groups you can still "join" them and make it atleast harder
Quite a puzzel, the one antisocial behaviour is cool and supported (griefing) while when you dare to to do something unsocial that could hurt the feeling of the griefer you get shadow banned. Its a bit weird to be honest.
No they aren't. At least not in my PG. I think we are up to 5 and 3 of us are regular players. I don't missing seeing an unknown, hollow, radar contact.Boy them Pvp'ers are everywhere, huh?
I agree. The puzzle is: why is griefing in a pve group not an actionable offense but combat logging is?
then you have it wrong , i will explain in bad english. When launching the game you can choose 3 modes. 2 of them im not in. get it?
edit: and now you guys tricked me into making this like the other tread.
i was reffering at combat logging in open. and i dunno whats fd stance for getting into a group and killing ppl (ingame)

Whats that got do with griefing and combat logging?
I support this! But i guess that would require some additional coding, better to slice up ED and sell it in parts instead...
dunno griefing ( like hacking accounts and make real life death treats) i was not talking about that either.
combat logging i cannot explain more simpel then above for you sorry. find teh tread where fd explains its a expliot

I don't really disagree that combat logging is not alright, it isn't. I just wonder why unsportsman behaviour against a PvP is so bad while unsportsman behaviour against someone doing PvE is allright, please keep doing it.
Because thats how the game is designed, I know I know. But why? Why does FD so not want to provide a non PvP Multiplayer option? Its so confusing because ingame they give pretty much no rewards to PvP in any way and all is about PvE when it comes to Missions, the BGS, PP and all that so that is all in favor of PvE players. Its just looks so conflicting is kinda irritating.
The other glaring elephant in the room is that if you make the AI harder that = longer which means getting up ranks = more grind. Knowing how little thought FD put into things, they need to make sure they re-evaluate the ranking system (for those people that care about it).
Mine is working fine. I play only with my family. I have zero need to see/interact with anyone else.
Good Q , for me persenol i dont need a reward for pvp , mainly because its rather easy to make credits ingame. esp taking on bigger ships and more or better pilots and win (sometimes lol) gives me a good feeling and im happy with that. in open ofcourse.
i will not defend that dcd guys , but i can understand the feeling of working together hard and hours upon hours , just to see it falls down by ppl who you cannot defend against. in open ppl have change to defend themselve.
