Tired of fighting NPC's that do the same thing. Tired of searching for people only to find none and when I do they're to scared to interact. The game feels lifeless.
Community Goals were the only place you knew you'd find people. Now? Nothing but a boring gank fest at eravate, shinrarta etc.. I took a one year break to come back to an even more lifeless game albeit a slightly more polished look. Elite is still one big missed opportunity and that really makes me sad.
Honestly, I don't think it's the Players that would make this game fun - I think it's the lack of interaction with the NPC and Open World that makes this game boring and empty for most.
No one ever said, "NPC's are boring in Skyrim" unless they were done with the game.
There is a SEVERE lack of PVE interaction both hostile and friendly, so some players have to lean on other players for a substantial interaction, but to be honest, Player to Player interaction can work for Sudoku when you think about it.
This is why I don't play games like Sea Of Thieves or Anthem or Destiny or anything of the sort. It's just an empty game leaning on Player to Player interactions to keep it interesting and that shows how well the Environment is for that game
