I'm getting tired of seeing this repeated over and over.
I've gone into the Mobius player list many, many times and find half of them are playing in <gasp> OPEN!
A quarter are in SOLO, the rest in Mobius or another PRIVATE GROUP.
I spent an entire day in Mobius going from Harma to Leesti and back several times taking different routes each time and only encountered a single player.
Mobius is just SOLO with a slight chance of PRIVATE GROUP.
The only solution is to have 2 separate background sims - one dedicated to SOLO & PRIVATE GROUP and another one dedicated to OPEN.
Period. End of list.
What you must fail to realize is that being in Mobius does not "lock" you into private group. Nor is it by any means Solo with a slight chance of private group anymore than Open is solo with a chance of player driven pulse cannon showers. It is a growing community ingame and on their forums that depending on what people feel like they *gasp* switch modes. What it does offer and people join for is the interaction with others without the threat of that interaction being "Oh Hey. CMDR Joc.. *boom crash explosion* Well ok that can still happen but only if you are me and in an RES and trying to talk to someone else there vs killing the evil npc Imperial Clipper that is shooting at you...
Since I have been in Mobius I talk via chat with quite a few and have run into maybe six different people in sectors. Huge Galaxy vs 10000 pilots not all on at same time or in the same mode = you may meet someone.
As for your solution.. It isn't final, period, or even the start of the list... no, it's more like putting clorox in your contacts case instead of saline cleaning solution. If you ever did it I eeaaaallly dont' think your going to enjoy the outcome.

...to what problem exactly?
The only solution to weight loss? The only solution to ants in my <bleep> lawn AGAIN? The only solution to why my new boots don't zip up over my calves when last week they did and I totally didn't over eat last weekend?
We can't even agree on there being a problem, let alone on what the problem actually is. I think that's probably more important to resolve before we swing solutions around.
(But if anyone can answer my points I would be SO grateful).
