I love reading all the stories about how people went into open and then got shot and then never wanted to come back. It's a whole new world compared to where we are.
Well, if you all want open without the gankers, and 75% the rest of the general ED population, come and play the game in open down under (AU/NZ time zone). We here don't see much, I can supercruise straight to Jameson Memorial from Shinrarta Dezhra in a straight line without interruption, the most irritating thing about visiting any engineers is the stupid robot voice at their bases, and you can't even spook people by turning up in a warship and pretending to chase people in supercruise while continuously honking the horn (discovery scanner). Being attacked by another player is just about newsworthy. Heck, seeing another player outside of our time zone is almost newsworthy. Best thing is that if you and all the local folks live at the same station, you can meet up and do stuff. It's like a giant private group, but without the restrictions. I enjoy seeing other CMDRs (outside of our lot) out there but they pretty much ignore me and so I go on and do my thing. I'd like to experience the outer space wild west that y'all seem to have. We just have the tumbleweeds. Perhaps a VPN terminating in the UK or US might work.
I didn't say there were no player killers however, I think there are a couple of infamous names that hang around with our lot and occasionally shoot at us, but running in to them is like winning the lottery. I have a story about that, which I may have posted elsewhere. Good times.
An alternative to "if you don't want to see CMDRs, go elsewhere". Here's it's more like "elsewhen".
