Would not get away with his mother in law jokes these days.
I'm pledged to the pirate king. Been doing some piracy here and there at the cg. About half the traders are happy to have an actual pirate interaction. One poor soul told me I didn't say please, when in fact, I DID say please, so he had to taste the rebuy. I can't abide my manners being impugned as a gentleman scoundrel.
I remember one who complained on reddit when a Kumo pirate said "please" and argued that pirates should RP with ruthless threatening lingo... "yar, drop booty or walk the plank!".
The reason people dislike PG/solo effecting powerplay is because PP's entire thing is putting the powers directly against each other and it's pledges directly against each other. It cuts its own legs out from under itself.
Whether Frontier's decision to allow all players to affect the mode shared galaxy while allowing those players to choose whether or not to play among other players is "the original design sin" or "the enlightened design decision that likely got the game backed in the first place" remains a matter of opinion - however it is the game we all bought and that may be the only common ground for some players.
The lack of limitation, in terms of proportion, in "people" here omits the fact that not all people have a problem with the fact that Powerplay remains a mode shared game feature, as it has been since it was introduced to the game ten years ago. Sure there is a subset of the player-base that can't accept that no-one needs to play with them while affecting a largely PvE activity driven game feature - as has been the case with the game in general since the game design was published in 2012.
What anyone does, in whatever mode, affects everyone else, in whatever mode, and nobody needs to see those contributions to experience their effects.
It's the simplest and most logical solution for those players who don't care how their desires affect other players, certainly. Those who would be adversely affected by such changes only need give as much consideration to the proposal as they have been given by those making the proposal - which is to say none.
I'm aware. I've been playing this game off and on since it's release, and in classic Fdev fashion they released powerplay as you said, in a way that undermines the entire point of it. Just because they messed up from day 1 doesn't make it any better. The opposite in fact
If the implementation of Powerplay (1.0 and 2.0) is not in accordance with what some players expect it to be then it's more likely that the expectations of those players don't match with what Frontier are prepared to offer. If the implementation "undermines the entire point of it" then it's more likely that the assumption by some players as to what the point of the feature is does not match that of Frontier, i.e. if's certainly a feature where players can choose to engage other players in PvP (where those other players have also chosen to make themself available for PvP), what it is not is a feature where any player is forced to make themself available to be shot at - and never has been.
