Modes Play in open is not what some would have you believe!

Ssssh OP, you're leaking the secret!

We've carefully spent years fostering the conception that if you press the "Open play" button, you'll be instantly destroyed by git gudders!

Pls redact.
 
And, seemingly proud you are of noob hunting. To each their own....

They are proud of exploiting the skimmer bug as well, yet calls others cheats for playing the game exactly how the Devs said to play it.

I think someones moral compass is broken or installed backwards.
 
If you deliberately screw with a PF via SOLO you are basically cheating and a worse than noob killer. You are ruining someones PF progress by deliberately going into where they can't hunt you, dont know about you, and can't see you. This is exploiting the system and the amount of damage you are doing is much worse than killing clean cmdrs for no reason.
At least ganking has C&P system to counter it, this exploit however is disgustingly supported by the broken unbalanced mode system.


Cutthroat is cutthroat! Quit yer whining!
 
Maybe, just maybe, as I have said before, it is a community thing. I am on XBONE and really have not seen anything like this. I have never been insulted by anyone nor seen any offensive chat. Or is it time zone? I am US east so would rarely see anyone from the Euro time zones. But my experience tells me that should not be an issue, I have met many gamers from over there and they are quite cool folks, plus I work for a large British construction company so I have many UK co-workers, all fine chaps!

In my experience, my in-game experience changed drastically when my work shift started two hours earlier. Before, when I was getting home about 5pm, and not logging in until 7pm, attempted ganks were frequent enough that it could get annoying. If this had been another game, where you didn't get much warning about a potential attack, I would've been seriously considering asking to join Mobius. But since there's a fair amount of player skill involved, many couldn't get an interdiction tether on me before I made it to the station.

After I started work two hours earlier? Potential gank attempts (many of them false alarms) are so infrequent I almost welcome them if I'm in the right mood.

XBone has a community standard that has strong outcomes for online behavior. Teabagging of any kind will get a ban. Or so it has been explained to me on the Xbone community page on Facebook.

The closest thing we have in this game is the block function. Of course with the newer 'historical contact' listing...it is now possible to play in Open and block anyone you come across once...so there is that!

"Reaching your honour"

"Agreed, please desist from hyperbole laden nonsense Mr Algomatic"

You just dont want to feel like a cheat, but face it, you probably undermine people in SOLO and are proud of it.

Frontier decide the rules of this game, not you, Frontier deemed it perfectly within the rules and acceptable for all aspects of the game to be available from all modes of the game, ergo, not cheating. Where do you guys get off sometimes? - you don't call out PVP cheaters when they abuse game mechanics for modules or when they exploit the game to high heaven to fund their noob killing but you throw the term around willy nilly where it does not belong for PVE players. I wonder why that is, guilt from doing so or by association maybe?, a ridiculous slanted, biased view in a vain attempt to meta Frontier into your agenda manure? - you, and plenty more, are a bunch of hypocrites.

Enough with the 'bots reinforces the modes argument' crap, bots are bad full stop and would still exist if this was an open only game from the get go.

Sure they are bad regarldess of the mode, however in SOLO you cant see them, thats the main issue.

You wouldn't in open either, at least not for long, anyone who is scripting a bot can easily make it invisible in open play, this seems to constantly be the point you 'don't get' on many issues. Anybody, and I mean anybody who wants to play in open without being seen can do so in 5 seconds, it's as easy as selecting a mode option from the main menu.
