Try to force them to make PP open only and see how it works out. Then we talk if it counts. Everything is just academic discourse at best, and useless yapping at worst.
The Open v Solo v Groups thread

Thank you for conceding the point.
Honest question: do you feel at least a bit relieved after you poured out here how unhappy you are with the game and all who refuse to play with you (thus fulfilling the purpose of this Padded Room), or do you really believe they will listen to you and change their wrong ways accordingly? (also fulfilling the purpose of the Padded Room).
I'd ask you if you feel a little bit relieved after you poured out how you feel about my suggestion.
Its interesting, if you truly believe this to be a padded room where nothing will ever be considered, then why bother spending time opposing ideas here that you claim are pointless?
Not really I'm basing it on 204 pages of the Hotel thread and the FACT that Fedv didn't introduce it in PP2.

I see, I captured your heart. Happens frequentlyBecause you are fun
Now you're less angry, that's great!
I'm certain after you listen me enough you'll learn to enjoy the game we have.
It seems you mistake affirmative and direct manners of speaking as anger. That would be an incorrect assumption. As I've said previously, I do enjoy the game we have. If I didn't I wouldn't be here. You can enjoy a game and still have ideas and opinions on things that you think need improvement.
The improvement you ask for is for FD to bring you more victims. That's the bottom line, please let's not start yet another avalanche of attempts to sugarcoat it with "reasons".
That will never happen.
As soon as you realize that, your gaming time will be much more pleasant.
No. It's not asking for more victims. This is a continued mischaracterization, that you are on obviously doing on purpose. This current CG has produced exactly the kind of gameplay I enjoy in open as an example, and its not because there's "victims." I'm getting blown up in ship and on foot a bunch and it's a blast.
Once you realize that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of my motives, there might be a productive conversation to be had. But while you continue to shadow box "muh evil ganker who wants to seal club" you offer no value.
Please, what is my purpose in doing so?
You tell me
it was your statement, "I'm doing it on purpose", therefore I ask what do you see as my purpose.
It's not mine to tell but yours to explain your accusation.
The megathread was created to keep the same old arguments, that have been going on since year dot, in one place. It sorta works.
In essence it probably is a padded room, where everyone can have fun broadcasting their polemic and have a variety of reactions returned for such.
The argument that FD are extrememly unlikely to create any 'open only' activity, or alter the game to exclude modes as such, are pretty accurate. FD want players to play, and maintaining the status quo (which works well enough) is not going to lose them any significant number of players - yes, some will go to SC for their PvP fun (at least until CIG decide that the PvE campaigners may have a valid point and they may be able to make even more money in pledges in supporting them) or something - but, on the whole, despite the complaints & wishes for change, even the mildly disgruntled keep on playing, because, currently, there is nothing that even comes close to the games mechanics.
Enjoy the banter, the campaigning, the rebuttals - to all intents and purpose, it is just venting in a dedicated thread. Which should be fun for everyone joining in...
"You can enjoy a game and still have ideas and opinions on things that you think need improvement."
Bear in mind that others have contrary opinions and are happy to play the game as is. Suggestions such as yours have to be countered, because if yours was the only voice, it might be listened to.
My suggested improvement would be to make PvP only consensual, but I know that view is not universal and would be opposed. And not implemented (I have solo after all). Such is life.

Agree 100%. I would also like just two modes, Open with PvE / PvP flag and Group.
Groups are useful and needed for... ehm... groups of friends who want to do something on their own, with no interferences.
And this Open, with flagging who's for what, would be a great universe.
There already is a flag. Your powerplay pledge. You can just choose to ignore it, and that's where the C&P system kicks in (which needs improvement but that's a different topic)
Or stay and accept the game isn't what you wanted, even though all the information you needed was there before you bought the game. But ok, we all make mistakes, but just because you don't like something don't try and change it for everyone that does.
