Yes CG's are optional but so are mode choice and PVP
.The people who want to do PVP are already doing it. The people who want to try PVP have already tried it.
Blaze your own trail, like everyone else can.

Which is jibberish- your answer is because people are already doing it can't be a CG- eh?
I could apply that to anything - trading, exploring, collecting. CGs are supposed to take ED activities and provide an event around them. An Open CG can be more than blowing something up- it can be used for roleplay for example. The Titan CG was pirating.
There are going to be plenty of CGs going, why not wait for the next one?
Or perhaps you pay, or wait for the next CG? Is it that much of a loss to wait two weeks?

on a long desert highway cool wind in my hair.......
Teasing aside I don't think it is gonna happen .. that said my view personally has softened a bit over the years . IF a CG was made which simply could not work outside of open then personally it would not bother me so long as it didn't have an over reaching change on the game.... And also so long as modes outside of open got their own CGs which would potentially not work IN open.
Over the years I have realised a lot has been sacrificed at the alter of ED being a MP MMO. If we had content locked to solo or small groups for coop which could then not have to be designed with Large MP balancing in mind that would be a fair trade to me.
(I can think of loads of stuff that open technically breaks that would work in solo)

I hate multiquoting as my posts get massive and I always format them wrong.
Multiquote Only Power Play anyone?

I've tried it and I nested myself silly.
How about if open-only players get their wish, but have to pay for the extra server themselves? On a monthly basis, 20 quid per player? That would shut them up.
It applies to everything it's all optional. Accept that and stop sweating other peoples choices.
Personally I choose open but very rarely bother with PVP. I don't mind whatever choices you make it's between you and your personal subjective preferences.
Events that are pivotal in the game should actually be solo only - as that way each player has exactly the same influence as every other - think about it 
Fluff events could be staged as open only as that way it will attract the players who just wish to play for fun.

Which makes no sense, because I'm arguing for a choice while you are arguing against choice- in this case having an open CG. People can choose themselves to do it or not, just as they choose to do anything in the game.
Since a CG is a self contained scenario, those who take part want to do it.
They still wouldn't like it. It's all about having more targets because they've lost the ones they had, and they'd soon lose the new ones too.

And I'd partially actually agree with that- Arthur hinted that all the CGs influence the next but its not a singular chain. For example, FD could spin up factional war between pirate clans that has consequences but is self contained.
You claim you are being pro choice by arguing in favour of removing choice, which is actually the opposite of that. I'm fine with everyone's choices.
What you want is the MMO changed just to suit you.
Yep, in whichever mode they choose to select.
It makes some sense that event 'A' can determine the direction of 'B', and so on, just because there will be a feeling of continuity and the events would be much more 'believable' because of this - it is a good idea!
The OP's suggestion that pivotal events occur only in open does, very effectively, exclude a proportion of the playerbase on console, poor internet connections etc. Solo, in such a scenario is at least presenting the best opportunity for everyone to participate
With the instancing and stability issues we've had in our squad, I'd take a subscription for a dedicated open server right now.
Can of worms, meet tin opener
Oh, it's not dedicated to just one squadron, it's open to everybody who wants to play in open, but has no influence on the galaxy whatsoever cos it's just for fun. Still interested?
