PhelboreI'll freely admit I haven't done much PVP in Elite, but there is a saying that's helped me handle defeats in other games... "The only fair fight is the one you won". Basically, people will tend to think it's fair when they won, and unfair when they lost. Those 3 ships thought it was fair, I'm sure. Humans are very good at rationalization. Now in this case? Yes, it wasn't exactly a fair fight. How would your brother have felt if they told him he wasn't worth their time and let him go? I'd take it as an insult, personally.
People who need to define themselves by subduing others are those who are not worth dealing with in the first place. This goes for PvP as well as any other aspect of this game.
Do these people pay your salary? Are they your landlords, able to kick you out if they feel like it? Do they have any impact on your life at all?
Only if you grant them that importance by your attention. Also, Open, Private Groups and Solo are only different instances of the same game. Anyone who wants to tell you that you don't belong in one and should move to another has yet again no power over you and only want to stroke their own little Egos.
And boy are there a lot of those out there!
