The only mode that kills the game really is Open PvP Mode. If it would be Open PvE Mode then only 3% psychopaths and rotten kids wouldn't be happy but i can live with that.
Solo Mode / Private Group Will Kill This Game-THE END?

+1 rep for the truth
its interesting to note that the result has been consistent for the duration of the poll, its always been at about 86% No and has not changed.
Only people who matter in this type of poll are the one's with server statistics showing trends and how various game parameters influence them.....
If solo and offline do start to kill the game expect ED to stop them, if the reverse then the opposite.
A poll in here just imo attracts a very "skewed" result
Another ill thought out attempt ro force FD to change the game by poll (which again is backfiring on the OP.
It also shows a misunderstanding of the complexities of the grouping system (there are not just two modes, there are a massive range of grouos from a single player, through small groups, massive groups (with 1000's of players) and up to the all group. There are also blocked/ignored players.
All wrapped up in some sense of unfairness or the need to force players into open where they can be preyed up on.
Why not just leave people to play the way they want as thecsystem is designed to do.

How many cry baby complaining thread do we need? if it isn't this, its the FPS expansion or the lack of realism in in s sci-fi game of all things. Or when someone comes up with an idea people trip about how it wasn't in the old 90s game. Geez, some of you guys need to have more faith in this game. It's elite DANGEROUS not elite, pat you on the back and give you a foot massage because your too scared to fight other players. My goodness, the only thing that will kill this game is the amount of crying and faith. This game is 100% awesome, i don't get why people have to make all these thread trashing it.
Solo and Private won't kill the game, but pointless threads may kill the forums.
this! someone else gets it. And not thinking outside the box will as well.
There are already Private groups that do exactly this with no problems, again it's all forum discussion on solving a problem that doesn't exist often created by people who aren't actually playing the game.

What criteria would indicate the death of the game? In a scenario where most players play solo and groups then that may simply indicate that open is not attractive to them - that's not the game dying - that may simply be a reaction to a lack of meaningful consequences for attacks on players.
The poll indicates that the self-selected participants are fairly heavily in the "No" camp rather than the "Yes" camp. If the result had been the other way around would you still consider the poll to be skewed?
Any poll in here is representative of the minority of players only and is automatically skewed. We're the noisy minority in here.

It seems that it's dull for you because you're only interested in meeting other players. I will take on whatever is put in front of me, I don't care whether they are player or NPC.
I don't care how any ship I meet got there, I'm playing my game and will interact with them (or not) as I wish.

Not until there is a poll on it
or the focus group, depending on how you view it.
What does any game achieve?
Come on folks, this whole issue started to stink like something dug up a long time ago. There is no compromise position here, you either like the design or you don't but what is undeniable is that this was a carefully considered design decision by a team who have clearly stated that they are making the game they want to play. Those who don't like the ability to switch between modes will at some point have to make their own decision as to whether this is something that detracts from the game so much for them that they have to quit and move on because IT ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE.
Time to move on.
Time to move on.
