Oh boy, this discussion... again. Can someone remind me why the Hotel California tread was locked again?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Braben mention that the game was primarily developed as a PvE game with PvP elements, but still fundamentally PvE centric? I believe he did, though as for when that statement was made (before or after realese), I do not know.
I'm fine with the modes the way they are and will continue to play in both Open and Private Group (And Solo when deployed overseas) and while I welcome the idea of an Open PvE mode, I'm not holding my breath because FDev have, time and time again, shown no interest in changing anything; such as the group options that Robert pointed out. FDev has stated that they're well aware that the majority of their player base doesn't engage in PvP; but again, won't do anything about it.
Also as an aside, to those that say PvP doesn't exist in Mobius, that's not 100% true. PvP does exist though under certain circumstances and nowhere near on the scale of PvP in Open; I think CZs are one instance where PvP is allowed.
CZ's are no longer a PVP zone in Mobius.
