With violence being the first and best defense against the annoyance of others, I'd probably have to move from Open to Solo mode if shooting them up was no longer an option.

A sudden patch was released with the change that:pF pilots could no longer inflict ANY damage on other PF pilot vessels - even through misfire/splash/mines*How would this affect your gameplay and attitude towards the game/FDev. Would you still play? Would you play more? Would you play in a different game mode?Whether this change would make any rational "realism" sense is not such a big deal, there's hundreds of things that contradict reality in favour of promoting gameplay that are far more significant.*I suppose a mine woudl either explode and do no damage or remain iunert until NPC approached? The details aren't important, this is more to do with a feel of the community reaction.

So basically an enforced PvE mode across all game modes. Well, first of all I would think that they just committed an act of misselling their game as in the "hunt other CMDRs" part and would need to be prepared for a lot of refunds or face a lot of lawsuits coming their way. Secondly I would view this as removing half of the game and although I'd continue with the PvE for a bit I would get bored that much quicker with all of the half-baked, place holder, and unfinished PvE content that is 95% of everything PvE related in ED right now (not that the PvP related stuff is in any better shape mind you).

If ED were to delete PvP as a feature and continue on with this bare minimum, anemic skeleton PvE content it has currently without fleshing any of it out then I'd just go play No Man's Sky. It has superior PvE content in almost every way compared to ED currently. The only things I'd miss are the flight model, the ship designs, the outfitting and the sound design from ED.

I would still play but to be honest it would take away part of my gameplay. You can't aspire to be a "White knighter" without villains. I don't want to, nor do I, dedicate my whole time to this facet of the game and I'm really not that "gud" yet. But I do spend the time and would rather them laugh at me "go plodey" than a noob or some trader. At least I can fight back and win occasionally.
If the community also embraced it and see it as a community service and FDev gave us the tools to do it then it could be fun..is fun.
The community needs to police itself. Many are doing this already or are at least trying.
It could flourish given some encouragement.
It's not all bad.
Might even be able to turn some of them from the "dark side"
Just my two cents worth.
