Jack DekerdtSo, I am not picking on anyone in particular but as a player in open and private on occasion and solo more often than not, I grow weary of the rather constant  put downs of the solo player whether on FDs forums and until recently, here on INARA.



I haven't seen any put-downs of the solo player here on Inara. Could you provide a quote, please?


So, no, not without pointing to a particular culprit and it is based over time, not a flurry of late, if you care to go back through the past 30 days there are instances of side comments, that for some, and I say SOME, of us solo players, just wears thin. I will just stick to my wing page, my bad, I guess for stating how some, again, not all of us, feel, that choose to fly solo. I would have thought that people would take a moment to reflect about the way they comment on server choice but, no, I guess not. If a player, reading my comment feels/know they don't do this, intentionally, or otherwise, then you know, move on. It was not meant to agitate anyone. I thought all of INARA was tolerant of others opinions, and I am not suggesting you, Marra, are not, as I said, I have gotten some supportive private comments, so, as I said, I will just stick to my wing page. Thanks for responding, it is not my intention to put any one person or persons on the spot.

Well, I was keeping the discussion flowing, but to make a thick line behind disputes Open vs Solo and PvP vs PvE (respectively, Open vs Mobius, for example) - doesn't matter if anybody prefers one game style/mode or another or likes/dislikes any of them. Every mode available is a valid option how to play Elite, the game is made that way and there isn't any hackery, exploiting or misusing the intentions of the game authors by using any of the game mode available.

I am glad that no discussions there, present and also in the past, never moved to heated disputes full of words like "carebears" and "git gud" and similar stupid passive aggressive insults, defaming gameplay style and preferences of any Elite player. But I am not so glad that this kind of discussions where is the increased level of emotions expected discourage from posting here in General discussion. So, as probably everybody already told what was on his mind to these topics (and also other topics in the past), I will reserve a right to remove (without further notice) any message that will be made in a confrontational style. But my hopes are that won't be needed, as there were many posts that showed that even "polarizing" topics may be discussed in a very polite manner and with a respect to opposite opinions.

Your house, your rules Artie. I'll try to dial it back. Probably just need to swear less.

That's a lot of words to say "No".

I was interested in where you'd seen anyone on Inara deriding solo play, because I genuinely haven't seen any. I could have missed it, of course - I don't read every single post here. But from what I've seen no-one has any problem with what filter (they are not "servers" ) anyone else uses, only where people are choosing the wrong filter for their playstyle and then blame the misfortunes of their bad choices on someone else.

Was that your famous "hammer of politeness," Artie?

My Hammer of Politeness usually keeps a trail of a whole page of posts deleted.
