37.000 commanders flying in PvE private groups hosted by one commander:

Surely private groups were intended for a bunch of friends? The management tools suggest as much.

If FD wanted a PvE mode they would have added that option to the main menu.

:cool::x[where is it][yesnod]

I take it you've spent the last fortnight re-engineering your ship since you had them all wiped and now feel confident enough to go back into Open Play after hiding in Solo?

A recent pertinent comment from Sandro (from a post in the Karma vs PvP Piracy thread):

Sandro Sammarco said:
Perhaps the bottom line is the different modes are there to enable Commanders to play how they want to. We don't want everyone to play in Open because we want some sort of Armageddon PvP scenario. We just think that playing with other people, both cooperatively *and* adversarial, can be more fun, which is why we advocate Open play.

I love those kinds of statements "[...] can be more fun."
They're like "Now 20% More!"
Or "Now 15% Better!"

Notice they never ever say 20% more what, or 15% better than what.
Why? Because "Now 20% More Packaging" or "15% better than nothing" doesn't sell products.

Yes, a seemingly infinite number of times.

What is everyone else's problem with letting people use whatever mode they like?

Based on no numbers or data what so ever, I'd say at least 80% of the player base simply doesn't like or care about PvP in Elite.

Mobius and MobiusPvE have been massive successes.

IMHO, if they'd actually made an Open PvE mode from launch, Mobius and MobiusPvE wouldn't exist, atleast not as popular as they are now.

While the general argument is that an OpenPvE group would "further fragment the player base", it wouldn't. It would actually unify the PvE player base under one umbrella, and fragment them from the PvP player base. :D

Can I petition the moderator/administrator staff to replace occurences of the word 'exploit' with 'thing I don't like'? It would be far more accurate.

E: having a giggle at the thread title with that substitution in place: "Private groups thing I don't like!"
