Modes The Solo vs Open vs Groups Thread - Mk III

[Mouse]

The ignore function is a true blessing.

I know some have put him on ignore, but I think that if everyone who know's how he operates does ignore him and never responds to his posts, which is the attention he craves, than those just coming in may think he is being truthful.

 

[Phosphora]

The reason there is far less, is because far less people are playing the game.

Perhaps they're all playing in Solo or Mobius...

Cheers, Phos.

Conundrum indeed, as you keep feeding the troll. But I see your point, and credit for the riposte by the way. Fly safe.

Another player has wondered into Solo vs Open thread to share his view, welcome 7x5.

7x5 I would recommend given up on having any point of few different to the Mobius 10 who run this thread.

This poster is not new to the thread, that last post was their 17th post in this thread.
Once again you refuse to use the provided tools (links in my sig) to look something up.

Their view is the right one. You and everyone else is wrong.

Anyone who comes in and doesn't 100 agree with their interpretation of something someone wrote once before players actually started playing this game on mass, will be beaten down purely on post count and then reported and banned for using a word they find offensive.

Actually you are the once saying Frontier Developments are wrong - and have said it time and time again.
You may not like how they want to make the game, but those who backed it and those who read up on it BEFORE buying it, like it.
The only "wrong" thing around here is the assumption from people like you, that you can belittle and bully people in the game like you do in EVE.

They however will get away with calling you names and referring to your mental state or prehaps that you are just a bully.
They even get away with baiting posts but its ok because they have Mod protection.

Again, links in my sig will filter any persons posts - anyone can check and see this is a lie and that you and some others come to the thread shouting insults and baiting people.
You're only upset because the Mod team here actually know your tricks and stop you from baiting others.

So i would recommend letting the Mobius 10 run this thread until the game dies.

Your very post shows you are the one keeping the thread going, it was recently noted that the thread was slowing down - but you've had to come back and stir the pot again with your propaganda and lies.

Leave them to their waste land modes because really, there are loads of players left in Open.
The reason there is far less, is because far less people are playing the game.

More rubbish - a Dev recently said the game has a healthy, regular player base. Linked in my Sig.
Yet again you want to spew forth false information. People do not play Open due to your kind.

Another fact they will ignore but we know.. We see our huge friends lists, sitting offline and the TS channels empty.

The only fact you've highlighted is how truth adverse you are.

This campaigning about the effect of modes in PP/CG seems truly bizarre.

Some people seem to automatically assume that when their faction is in trouble it's because of people in solo/group modes when it could just as easily be other people in different instances/time zones in open that they don't see or just sheer weight of numbers of the opposing factions doing whatever it is they're doing at that moment.

None of us has any idea of the number of players in each faction and what they're doing at any given moment.

Surely the fact that there is no control of how many players join each faction shows that it can never be considered an even competition anyway?

Not really, squeaky wheel isn't anything new. On the other hand, posts by Majinvash et al do absolutely prove that the original design decision for the differing games modes was the right one.

 

[Lestenio]

So which is is.. is Open a wasteland.. or a dangerous Wild West... seems like when you want bonuses and advantages over other modes.. it is a Dangerous Wild West, yet when people are looking for targets.. it is a wasteland.

Its amazing how often they contradict themselves. One minute they want a bonus because open is a dangerous, the next they want a bonus because open is empty and they want to encourage people there. Personally I think they are greedy and just want a bonus for the sake of it.

Even if they had a bonus, they would find something else they don't like.

Can i start Open v Solo thread mark MMMCC now please.

Give open play an extra 10%,them having 10% extra has no effect on solpen and Solo should be seperate saves

Anything that will put with pointless post to sleep

We've still yet to see an adequate justification for why Open should gain such a benefit versus Solo- and for why Solo should be nerfed and Open left as is.

So far the circular argument provided by proponents of the "Buff Open, Nerf Solo!" theory has been "there's more risk!" but no one has yet been able to explain why there is more risk.

Both modes are "dangerous", both modes have interdictions, whether PC or NPC, have the same opportunities (except Solo not being cooperative play) and the only difference I've seen between Open and Solo for PvP players is that you can't grief PC's in Solo. (which is a good thing)

So, shall we continue the circular argument- or would you care to enlighten us with a new answer so that we can as you so eloquently put it "put with pointless post to sleep"?

 

[bendover]

You can make all the eloquent arguments you want but if the others persons mind is closed,You mite as well talk to the wind.

Nobody is ever going to win this argument,People are so Dug into their positions.

I play in solo and dont care if they an extra 10% in open,Plus as you if say open is not more dangerous than solo then open players are only deluding themselves and this has not effect on solo.

People are so focused on "Winning the argument" that niether side will ever admit defeat

Opinions are not facts,You cannot at any point say that giving %10 To open is defintivley wrong,because giving an extra 10% To open because its more dangerous is mere opinion.

Plus there is only one answed for people who are only prepaird to here the answer they want.

And a public forum is not the place for the closed-minded.

I just lost a fully loaded 500t T9 in group to an npc anaconda pirate. Less risk? Lost 10M Cr, but that the game. Ah well. I assume it was a condo as it mass locked me. I lasted seconds.

The risk argument is put forward by people who don't know any better There always risk, its just a different risk.

10M Cr is hard to lose but you just move on and start trading again.

Just because you want it to be fact does not make it a fact

Open CAN be harder, don't has to be. Under the right condition it can even be eaiser then Solo. If you want more money for more risk then tie the extra reward to the extra risk (PvP I assume). And don't forgett: Groups has all that other People in the Game stuff too.

It's a secret society, nobody knows who they or where they are - but they are watching us.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they really aren't watching you! hehe

But shouldn't a society that wants to watch everybody be pro Open?
