You are so focused on PEW PEW that you miss a lot.
Nothing either Kerrash mentioned had anything to do with pew pew except for not making yourself a victim of it.
Yes you might lose a few times but that doesn't make you a victim, that just means you got beaten by someone better or luckier than you in that instance.
Welcome to life in space!
It IS harder in Open, that is why their is SOLO or Group. ( Its harder because of all the human players who can and will kill you )
If you stay in Open and learn from it you WILL be a better player than someone who is only better than Bots.
You can make this as insulting as you want but to get better, you need to challenge yourself. More importantly, learn from the positives and the negatives.
The sooner people stop being so precious that someone pew pew'd them and learn how to counter or evade, the better this game will be from it. Even they don't want to be shot at, if they learn to avoid or escape it. They might find they actually have a bit of fun outsmarting another player.
Some people will always be terrible at gaming, so crippling a mode to make it playable for the worse player is not a positive move forwards for any game or community.
These people complain that NPC's are too hard... So should they create another mode?
Open
Group
Solo
Solo Special NPC's

You <--- A Mile ---> The point being made.
As for your post, as per normal you post what you want from the game a refuse to accept that is not the game for others, the game is what everyone wants it to be (excluding "me" being content for "you").
You want pew pew, you want to improve your pew pew skills, you have the ego deficit that requires epeen swinging in online games, I do not. I want to relax and take in the sights and beat on SJAs minions.
And as I have played open I call on "harder in open". The NPCs are the same in all modes - and open is barren remember, that is half the complaint here - so if open is barren like people say then all you have is the same NPCs as Solo and Groups, so it cannot be harder it can only be the same.
Why should he? It's his opinion - When Robert states his opinion I don't ask him to reword it to suit me.
Moderators do not speak for FD. They just moderate bad behaviour on the forum - any opinions they give are their own.
Moderators are supposed to enforce the forum rules, which include stopping "inflammatory comments" - saying people choose to avoid open because they suck at the game kind of breaks the rule not enforces it.
As for Roberts comments - as you seem to miss it completely, he quotes the Devs or paraphrases them. So if you don't like what he is saying, you need to tell FD to stop saying it, as all Robert has done is repeat them.
