Dear #elitedangerous #pvp #cmdrs,

you may have missed the last 500 years of human development, so here are a few random thoughts:

1. You are not a combat hero when attacking PvE Clippers using your engineered Fer de Lance and... 3 of your buddies in combat vessels

(1/n)
2. You are not someone people want to spend their time with when you repeat this 4v1 attack five times in a row although that PvE Clipper manages to get away each time. You are just someone wasting other people& #39;s time

(2/n)
3. Throwing insults like carebear, salty, brainless, gitgud, coward, cheater, hacker at your 4v1 prey won& #39;t make that guy fight you, it will make him block you

(3/n)
4. An FdL with 3 plasmas and 2 rails is not a sign of having understood how Elite Dangerous works, so there& #39;s no need to point at people flying anything non-meta. They might instead be much more adept about ED than you are

(4/n)
5. "Rebuy is cheap, go mining, now fight me!" might fit in your little "shoot& #39;em& #39;up-with-a-need-to-grind-sometimes" view of Elite. It is neither fun (you are 4v1, remember? So what outcome do you think this will have?), nor is it true: Some people are busy with...

(5/n)
... playing the other 99.9% of Elite outside your "pew pew dead gitgud gg <genitaljoke> scope"

(6/n)
6. "I have left my wing, now show me what you got" as an answer to "get lost, you got no honour attacking me 4v1, I won& #39;t fight you, you& #39;re toxic" is not helpful. You will wing up and bring your buddies while losing either way

(7/n)
7. "Fight me, coward" doesn& #39;t make sense when your "prey" just told you he& #39;s in a PvE Clipper that is only slightly modified and you& #39;re in a meta Ferdy. Are you really THAT dumb?

(8/n)
8. Elite is a wonderful and huge space sim. It is not your personal "Steal time, wreck havoc" simulator. You are wasting other people& #39;s time, either by interrupting their gameplay or by making them grind for money. Either way, you& #39;re despicable

(9/n)
I could go on for another ... hundred? ... threaded tweets. I am in open to meet people and to... FIGHT. PvP is wonderful, just not when your opponent compensates mediocre skills by going full MAGA.

Sometimes, I am tired of ED.
