Some one may still argue "videogames are a waste of time" by principle (unless they provide some kind of IRL income) but apart from that, your sentence sums up what is the "original sin" in the current environment as "no player needs to do that to affect the game". Fine, but what if certain features/activities would have needed to play in open to affect the game?
What some consider to be the 'the "original sin"' is considered by others to be a very welcome design feature of this game that makes PvP an optional extra in this game.

If certain features were PvP-gated during the Kickstarter then we can't be certain that the game would have achieved its target - in which case there might never have been a game do disagree over. If I would have backed such a game then I certainly would not have backed it to the same level as I did.
 
Ah, I just try to put some victims into open... thats all.
Perfectly understandable - It must be terribly boring just playing by yourself because open is so empty.
We can tell the game has issues as I flew through 3 engineer systems (one was Deciat) a little over a week ago, in open, and never saw a single hollow rectangle - it was in Odyssey though.
 
Just 1, Mr. Maynard. I just beg for 1 PvP feature game mode in the game which is just for PvPler. Open/Solo discussen ends there.

No, youre wrong. Most people playing in open I think. And you will find players every time if you want. Most people like challenge.

While Sandro did indeed indicate (back in 2018) that most players play in Open (at least some of the time), Mark Allen indicated that Frontier are "well aware that the majority of players don't get involved in PvP". Both can be true - it's a big galaxy.
 
CQC must implement in the maingame with possibility to use your own enegeneered ships. Then! It would make sense.
A bunch of G5 engineered Plasma FDLs flying about in a small arena? That would make sense?
It would be fun to spectate...
Would also make the 2 minute CQC session a thing of the past.
 
Which presupposes that contact with enemy players is mandatory - which it is not.
Infact, as I've said... this is the "original sin" basically a game flaw as what could have driven players to confront has indeed sent most of them to another bungie-like grind (more missions, more forts, more of this... etc. etc. wasting way much more of their limited game play time). Bringing experience of my BGS wars (I don't remember how many I've done, but quite enough) when we went kaboom or kaboomed the enemy -> war ended in may be a couple of weeks (grind wars required up to 10x time).
