PvP Why PvP is not popular in Elite Dangerous?

[Riverside]

IMO PvP is very popular,

There are two metrics for this, one is as a percentage of the overall playerbase, and one is having critical mass (exceeding a certain minimum number).

In a CG system you are more likely to find other players, and some of those will be hostile. The fun comes in when there are enough players AND enough goodies & baddies to either hide in the crowd or attack with impunity.

There are times when there are too many baddies for the available pool of goodies, and that's frustrating for both sides (overfishing). So switch sides every so often

EXACTLY.

So the entire point is based on NOTHING.
Frontier never said the vast majorty..THIS GUY did.

There IS a difference between the two!!!!

And do you know he's wrong? - no, neither do I, for all we know he may have under egged the pudding and it could be a 'vast, vast majority' in the region of a 95/5% split, we don't know but it being a vast majority certainly isn't ruled out by any means.

So youve just basically said hes guessing its the vast majority.

Thanks for argueing my point. I was getting tired.

He/she knows it's a majority, which, considering you needed the quote sourced you had no idea of, I maintain your original point was 'how do you know PVP plays a minority part in Elite Dangerous' and very little, if anything to do with the word 'vast'.

That wasn't your point at all but if you want to move the goalposts to make yourself feel better you go right ahead, but remember, it still being a vast majority is not out of the question by any means.

You can assume my point was whatever you like friend.

I , and anyone who can read, knows what it was.

Which revealed it was a Miss Quote. Thanks for your help on that by the way.

All in all. Not a bad chat.

The mistake is about writing "vast majority" instead of majority. Hence wrongly quoting FDEV.
It is like saying PvPer's are a minority. This is not correct.

BTW a tiny majority of players are involved in PvE. It makes PvP as popular as PvE. /s

It isn't a misquote, it's an opinion piece, it's okay for people to have different opinions and we have 130 pages of different views debating the wider topic. Don't get hung up on hyperbole & semantics when there's far more interesting fodder

Which revealed you were arguing the point of whether it was a majority at all and absolutely zero to do with the word 'vast' at that stage, thus your mental gymnastics and goalpost moving since.

lolwhut?

Just a different opinion, no different from Algomatic saying PvP is popular. It's subjective perception based on experience.

I've been away from the bubble for over a year. From my perspective there are hardly any other players in the game

Source??

 

[Theodrid]

Source??

What?

 

[Electric Kite]

What?

"Which revealed you were arguing the point of whether it was a majority at all"

Source please?

 

[Riverside]

Source??

Opinion. This is getting repetitive. Do you actually have a point?

 

[Myrm]

I don't even know the difference between griefing and ganking.

 

[Electric Kite]

Are you looking for this?

"Vast majority

Are you using these forums as a source?

Haha. "

Because that was a legit question..to which once provided with the actual source..turned out to be a miss quote. I never once argued it was not a majority. In fact MY ENTIRE arguement was it WAS THE MAJORITY.

L O fricking L

Griefing is about causing frustration, ganking is just using overkill - more force than is strictly necessary to achieve a goal. There is some overlap of course.

So lets just go with it, you win. What have you achieved? What point have you made?
