Or maybe their view is that all the modes are equal.
Then again, actions speak louder than words, and they don't seem to be inclined to reward PvP in any meaningful way...

Well, if they do allow money from CQC into the main game, then they are supporting PvP.

Indeed - as was the NVidia competition. Likely restricted to Open to forestall complaints of "unfairness" that abound when talking about modes other than Open.
Indeed. Controlled, balanced, dare one say 'fair' PvP?
Edit: Oh, and consensual, too.

Risk free money from one mode into another mode....

FD has changed plenty since its kick starter, INCLUDING the hallowed offline mode.
And you know what, people dealt with it.
If OPEN was just THE mode.
People would have just dealt with it or not played it.
Either way you cannot keep everyone happy but if you don't know different, you cannot be upset about it.
It would probably have allowed FD to focus on creating better content because they would have had a clear focus and target market to deal with.
Rather than trying to keep 3 very different types of players happy with one game, which is never going to happen.
Now you want 4 types of mode..

CQC is a desperate attempt to capture the Xbox/Console market.
What effect it has on ED PC will be minimal.

Or as an indicator of where their focus on balance of gameplay and content is directed. They could have easily said Solo and still been "fair", but picked Open.
Oh yes, I'd forgotten that bit.
No risk of any sort of loss, in any way shape or form, no repair bills, no ammo costs.
Now where are all those quotes I saved from open advocates about hiding in a mode with no risk......
Probably won't be enough to actually matter, even less being a viable income. Just enough so CQC isn't a total waste of time.

It's sold as a multi-player game - it would have been odd if either of the competitions had been in Solo, especially the NVidia one where part of the competition involved getting past all of the players camping the delivery station.
Which was not part of the original KS, but somethnig they said they'd try as an extra if they could - but alas could not
And people walked away from it when the news broke the extra offline was not to be included.
I know that undermines your argument and all, but do try to take the news like a grown up.
You'd have even less players than you do now.
After all, one of your complaints are the people who mode hop, if they could not hop, they'd not have stayed.
You have no idea what effect it will,.
Only time will tell what impact CQC has.

CQC is *supposed* to be a valid career path so FD said.....
Now define "valid"

Really Jordan? Your argument has sunk to "Mom likes me best, but she can't say it." Seriously?
It's not my fault you can't find the sense in what I say. Perhaps you should read again. It might help if you don't view the devs as all powerful deities and view them as businessmen.
That is exactly what was said, wasn't it? They'd have either learned to adapt or not by the game to begin with.
Problem there Vash is that open cannot be the only mode. It's more than a matter of player retention. Frontier sought and sold the game with a pegi rating. If you really need me to explain why that guarantees the continued existence of solo in perpetuity, I will, but I bet you're smart enough to figure it out.
I wasn't aware of that, but so is piracy, or mining...CQC is *supposed* to be a valid career path so FD said.....

The careers are totally unbalanced as of now. I'm making 10 million an hour with bountyhunting.
But in terms of lore and immersion, I can see why it would be paid very well.
CQC fighters would be like MMA fighters, risking their lives for the universe's amusement.

Well, I'd better do a post saying;
An Open PvE mode would benefit the community by being available in the main menu and letting all players know it is there.
Did I say they preferred open besest of all? NO. What I said is, regardless of which mode they like best, they'd only say they like them all equally.
That's just good business strategy, isn't it?
