PSA: Open is carnage and I expect them to follow us all the way

You cannot reasonably argue that such culling of the herds has not resulted in at least some explorers going with tougher builds.
The population is better off for it at large, with that in mind, just as in nature.

Possibly, but then can you reasonably deny that the culling has not also driven players away from the game, or into PG/Solo... and together is the net effect on the game populatoon positive or negative. Additionally, there is a pretty basic flaw in the nature analogy, unless nature has evolved to include PG, Solo, and Block when I wasn't looking. Ironically, there is a fair crossover of people delighting in ganking explorers who also constantly call for OO and oppose an Open PvE... seems a bit of a shortsighted strategy to achieve the OO endgame.
 
Thanks for the considerable effort you've made to prove my point.

Which part - the part about most people disliking what you do in game, or the fact that a small minority think it's cool?

The simple fact that most people don't like griefing and spawn camping concedes that some people do.

So yeah, you're free to choose darkness, and be loved by few and despised by many, like Darth Vader and other villains.

But please don't be surprised when you are vilified for being a villain.

You choose to destroy and not create, to harass instead of help, to be the bad guy and not the good guy.

There's nothing cool or romantic about that to most people, even when gaming, but again I'm sure a minority think otherwise.

Hmmm... some others might, but I don't have nearly that much self control.

Kind of like Sharks IRL actually.

On their own, cold remorseless stalking killing machines.

In a gam however, theyre unthinking, frenzied and fast.

Hey all, love the enthusiasm from all sides. Sorry if it was a duplicate but you know how these things go.
I wasn't complaining at all, as I said I am happy to fend them off in Open and have taken my fair share of deaths over the years as part and parcel of the game.

My point was only that I wanted to make sure any non regulars coming here for WP info would get a heads up before the salt runneth over.
Keep it up gank squad, you are the only real danger in Elite : Dangerous (apart from those pesky 5g landings!).

Which is why I am happy to give them the attention they desire.
 
Mind you though, there almost certainly are those who are in the Private Group biding their time. They'll piggyback on that idea as well.

Well, now that it's written in the Forum for posterity, it will always have been my idea, and anyone using it will have to steal ideas from an actual DW2 participant carebear. [big grin]

Of course it's always possible that you're the hidden 5C, waiting to implement... then you'd not have to steal it.

I'm really enjoying the damage output of my Krait, but I can't wait to get back to my Viper IV.

She's my first and only love :)
 
So the last four years of constant salt about solo, clogging, logging, group, block, forum moderation and developer bias was you having fun then ?.

I always thought PK'ers were some of whiniest people in the forum. Which is quite an achievement with all the serial whingers, ragequitters and grindlords hanging around bleating.

You never did show up for that fight, despite all the tough talk.

All you've ever done is tout the block list.

News flash: we know you like it.

Water under the bridge.

Solo exists, PG exists. Sometimes people go there. Nobody cares.

Water under the bridge.

As for complaints about forum moderation and whatnot...

Those horses have been dead for a long time.

We can't nominate a PvP'er for a mod for our little corner of the forum, but some folks get to have a whole team.

Water under the bridge.

Sandro is gone, and hopefully some of that bias (not necessarily what you might think, btw) went with him.

Water under the bridge.

Man up like Ziggy and come out to play.

It's only a game. What do you have to lose?

I'll send you a friend request as soon as I get back in.

Just don't stay in PG or solo like last time, or it will be just as pointless as before. ;)
 
I'm hanging out mining for the CG at the Omega wp, and being alert for ambush gankers which is draining. The general chat is all but 95% about the ganking and what to do about it constantly. imo, the exploratory intention and shared journey vibe of the dw2 expedition is kind of ruined by this.

Didn't really think so... you'd not have spilled if you were, but the thing is, nobody knows, nor will until they strike I suppose.

Anyway, good luck out there... holding off 1 attack will probably get you a promotion to expert, so there is that I suppose.
 
See? I didn't have to go: man up like me. I rest my case :)

Unfortunately the truth of the matter is that WP2 is the last thing I'll do in this game. I'm a massive coward but Beyond caring.

You're the Zarek Null of the carebears, Zig.

It's annoying sometimes... but all in good fun.

Kinda same here, btw.

Zaphod's going out to the black.

Nobody cares, but he ain't coming back. [haha]
