What you are describing is an offline mode . If someone wants to play offline , in their own private world , where their activities have zero bearing on the live servers , all power to them , but don ' t demand to play multiplayer without having to interact with other people . Would you walk to a really bad part of town then walk through an alley late at night with no ability to defend yourself ? Technically people shouldnt attack you , but there is a chance . Probably not right ? You stick to a safe part of town , and walk where there are streetlights and other people around to minimize risk . why can ' t you apply that same sense of self preservation to a video game ? Why does the game world have to have arbitrary and synthetic protections so you can skip carelessly down every dark alley you want ? Oh , and I ' m pretty damn sure you don ' t like multiplayer games because you are just bad at them , and rather than take some personal responsibility for improving yourself , learning a skill set that would allow you to have a better chance at defeating your aggressors , you would rather just cry , and blame everyone else for your lack of foresight . I am very happy that we have people like you , since most of Renegade Squadrons fleet has been converted from using traditional quantum fuel , to using the salty tears of Carebears to power our ships
