Good comic. Does illustrate how this type of thing usually goes.
If a person plays games, the way they play is a RL trait. Especially in a sandbox type. Sorry, but I regard this as obvious.
Of course if someone shoots at me in a game I don't assume that they'll shoot me with real bullets if we meet in RL. But I do learn that they play a game with simulated aggression and if I don't feel like putting up with it, I won't.

Alright there armchair psychologist.
Number 25, I really don't have time to waste with such shallow views.
Good day.
I mean, someone could say that playing that way means they give up easily and don't like a challenge?

Being competitive is bad, didn't you get the memo?

Which would mean that the complaints of players who cast aspersions against other players for playing the game as it is designed would, if applied correctly, also apply to those who complain about the use of menu exit, the block feature and / or affecting game features in modes other than Open - and so those complaints would be equally dismissed as irrelevant....

And I literally said I don't expect it to change, fret not.

What we have is working, and its the thing most seem to want.
Do not think I am being hypocritical here. Already covered myself.
EDIT: Basically, neither of us should expect anything to change. This argument has been going for the best part of decade. Need I cite the definition of insanity?

No fretting involved - just wondering if a double standard was in play.
Indeed - which would leave those seeking Open only <insert feature(s) here> rather disappointed....

Good thing I'm not looking for Open-only then. I know I used to, but if we don't allow people to change their mindset, (certainly some members really struggle with my change: I joined this forum as very anti-PvP), then there's no point even having a forum.
People asked me to consider all sides, and are now mad that it means I have adopted a stance of "we get what FD gives us", which is the most realistic one to take.

Indeed - some may change their stance on one or more aspects, some may not.
It is indeed - noting that it cuts both ways.

Eyup.
And I do appreciate that.
That doesn't mean I can't criticise. There's a difference between criticism and outright demanding change.
What kind of competition is ganking, what rewards you get? Credits? Reputation? Materials? Access to new places?
Is it competition when other is not competing?

Nothing stopping you run.
Do it all the time myself.
Y'know that sometimes the only reward needed is achievement, right? Not everything needs to be tangible.
Fastest kill?
Fastest Kill Avec Sel?
Fastest Kill Sans Sel?
It's a long road but in the end, the race is only with yourself.
Like who has longest blocklist
What would be the point?
When I had players trying to gank me they never said anything.
Genuine lol.Like who has longest blocklist

Of course - noting that criticisms will be put forward by players on diametrically opposed sides of the discussion.

The Distant Ganks II leaderboard post gave players so inclined a decent starting point....Like who has longest blocklist
