...whereas a lot of the PvE only crowd on here are arguing for the game mode I enjoy and play exclusively to be completely removed.

Actually, if you read some of the threadnaught (start with Iteration #2 perhaps), this is the mirror of the Solo/Groups stance: we're fine with the modes as they are. I certainly am not arguing for the removal of Open.

Since I've seen how hard PvP'ers are arguing to keep Mobius hush hush from the main player base

Really? They want Mobius Group to be hidden?

[headdesk]
 
personally im fine about claiming a bounty of another player in the group, but being a PVE group I think its only fair to only attack a player if they have 15,000 or above, the amount gives the player with the bounty plenty of freedom to pay it off.

:eek:

Well, thats not very PVE, now is it? Hm.

That quote is from over a year ago, when E: D was still in Beta. And it was his personal opinion then, you'll have to ask the man himself if he still feels that way, and even then the group's rules don't agree with that (IIRC).

Additionally you place the quote and your comment without context - that quote doesn't change the fact that Mobius Private Group is a PvE group (with its own rules, which include the option for consensual PvP in conflict zones).
 
If you think you see too many, try to stay away from community goals, starting systems and similar.

So... stay away from Rares routes (which give many new players their first real credits), and stay away from Community Goals (so don't get involved in the community)? And don't dare start out in one of the starter systems? (impossible)

The Mobius group isn't a PvE-only group. Rather, it's a group without non-consensual PvP. There are some kinds of PvP sanctioned by Mobius and the main group members, what they have in common is that they require the players to intentionally choose to engage in PvP or intentionally make themselves available for PvP.

Kinda like PvE servers in MMOs. They usually aren't about completely removing PvP, but rather about making PvP optional.

Right, now I've got my knee jerk reaction post to this out of the way, and my apology post out of the way;

Lets try something more recent than September 2014 shall we.....

opps, wrong one.....

There you go, hot off the press... (of the [prt sscrn] buton ;) )
 
XXXX, digging up quotes from over a year ago, before the rules for the group were fully set up.

That's desperate.

I figured I would check it out, and it sort of surprised me that the leader of the group would say that. I know its a while ago, but it just struck me as odd seeing as how steadfast the followers of his group are with the anti-pvp nature. Darkwalker's post cleared it up though.
 
If they're not going to add any incentives for people to play in open, then fine - but FD should add in-game systems that make traders feel safer (like AI wingmates, more effective anti-pirate weapons or better bounty hunting tools).

Just chiming in here; I agree with this proposal. The game really needs it.



If traders are tougher to rob because of this... then great it's more fun that way.

Exactly! There's the "risk" so many open players talk about... "the challenge" and so on and so forth.
 
lol chill out..



1# Solo, 2# private group (ok so PvP is possible but unlikley to be forced upon you while playing with your friends, so I count this as PvP free), 3#Open, 4# CQC... like I said, I'm not counting Mobius.


the answer I expected actually. Another deflection ^,^.


if PVP is possible it is possible and not a PVP free zone. Some keep saying PVP is unlikely in OPen so by your definition Open is PVP free too >.> So again .. there is 1 PVP free mode and some balance is requested.

yea yea yea.... lets get to the important part...

why did "LMAO" get replaced with "XXXX" in my quote ???

(oh, if you'd been quick enough - you could have pointed out the "Wall of Information" has quotes from 3 years ago on it, perfect counter point :p ;) )
 
the fact that they still chose to pollute the water they want to drink from is baffling on all levels. The issue many of the true RP pirates have in this game should not be with the solo and group players who have felt pushed out of open, but with the PVP'ers and pretend pirates who have made open so unpalatable to so many.

I brought this point up quite a long time ago (probably Iteration #2 and probably not an original idea to me) and was given as an answer "we're pirates, not policemen!" Unfortunately, FD hasn't supplied the in-game tools to keep order; it falls on the players who are unhappy with the situation to clean up the mess. Just the way it is.
 
Lol... you are the kinda smart ass I could have a fun night out at the bar with.

Oh you don't want to see me when I really pick up speed (actually, you do ;) ).
This is me being good, Robert will tell me off if I'm not good.

And if I'm too much of a handful, someone will fetch Yaffle... I know I'm in the "do do" when Yaffle turns up.

Because a few days ago I got a message from the mods warning me not to "subvert the language filter".

:(

oh...

I thought those short hand text thingys were ok ??
It's doing the whole first letter, last letter with stars in the middle etc.. that kind of stuff you are not allowed to do :S
Or using numbers to replace letters in swear words.
