CCP will listen to the CSM, but I very much doubt that there is much, if anything, discussed down here which would initiate an ‘Eureka!’ moment in the Company’s deliberations. The player suggestions which do get taken on board (and mentioned in the updates) seem to be useful but hardly strategically significant additions. Are any of your own suggestions among them, Lucas? > [@Lucas\_Kell](#): > > For the most part this forum is about ganking Perhaps so, but that is not the fault of the gankers, who would be quite happy to discuss other elements pertaining to the World of Scallywaggery. It is Lucas Kell who hones in laser-like upon a single issue, which was not the subject of the post to which he was responding. If C&P is as you describe, then your own part in making it so seems rather obvious. > [@Lucas\_Kell](#): > > gankers have pushed out most of the other regulars Hm. When I started playing, this sub-forum was a place to exchange information, ideas, strategies, funny stories… It was _hot._ There’s no doubt that it’s now a pale shadow of what it was; but times change, and people with them. It was a tight-knit club; now they let all sorts of riff-raff in. _sigh_ ---

> [@Lucas\_Kell](#): > > For the most part this forum is about ganking, as gankers have pushed out most of the other regulars. C&P in particular is almost exclusively about ganking. After fifteen years of non-stop sandbox nerfs, this game has been reduced to nothing but mindless PvE grinding and ganking, so you can hardly blame people about discussing basically the sole remaining viable form of PvP. Wars: dead. Mercenary industry: dead (the “merc contracts” channel used to have 300 people in it before citadels went live, now it’s got 0). Baiting: hanging by a tendon as more and more PvE content becomes instanced. Low-sec: reduced to 3 systems that are gate-camped 24/7, and otherwise completely devoid of life. What else are we supposed to talk about here? ---

If people just want to rail against ganking there’s always the [Nerf Ganking Megathread](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/nerf-ganking-megathread/299004/8055). Here, we should be talking more about how inspired it is to offer bonuses for folks who get their kills with other industrial ships. That is the kind of thing that promotes the outside the box thinking that makes Eve awesome. ---

> [@Altara\_Zemara](#): > > the person who single handedly manages to turn every thread into a thread about ganking There’s something else I’ve noticed. Thanks go to @Aiko_Danuja, whose [recent blogpost](https://www.james315.space/2022/10/04/hateless-blues/) enabled me to tie up some hitherto inexplicable loose ends about this character. Be prepared for a shock. In the Nerf Ganking Megathread we find this exchange (post 8933) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/1/6/9/169ee30a53a32dfdb1f76187f7fe8df258cb7953.png) And this (snagged dialogue box 22 from the above-mentioned blogpost) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/b/b/bbbae19e97a7c35f186d9b31fa1f1defd6dbaaa0.jpeg) Can there be two entirely separate players using this phrase? There can. Can there be two entirely separate rabidly anti-ganking players using this phrase? Thoughts on a postcard… ---

I am not sure. The phrase is uncanny, but Lucas Kell is against: - ~~Basement dwelling incels doing any kind of ganking~~ - ~~Basement dwelling incels doing any kind of _griefing_ – all ganking is griefing~~ - ~~Only ganking that isn’t done for profit~~ - ~~Only ganking that targets newbros~~ - ~~Only ganking that targets newbros and affects retention~~ - Only the griefing that comes with ganking newbros that affects retention\* _\*Subject to further change on Lucas’ whims_ Whereas Hateless is against bumping an Orca of someone multiboxing 9+ accounts and is surely too busy hopping on TiS and parading around elsewhere than coming to the cesspool that is Eve Forums. That said though, maybe Hateless told himself, before spinning up a forum alt: “you do you boo” 🤔 ---

Elderly unmarried women do not constitute a ‘type’. They are as delightfully individual and varied as the rest of womankind. Seeking to undermine the opposition is a tactic well-known in the Forum - and well-used in all forms of debate. If it generates matronizing and priggish comments such as your own, who can wonder that we continue, regardless? ---

> [@Sasha\_Nemtsov](#): > > Seeking to undermine the opposition is a tactic well-known in the Forum I have no “opposition” on the forum. I’m just here to troll really, just having some free fun, like being Alpha in the game, a quick spur of action for a few SP every day and then it’s on to another game. I have the attention span of a vegetable. > [@Sasha\_Nemtsov](#): > > and well-used in all forms of debate I stopped debating more than 20 years ago. I laugh more these days. It’s so funny to see people who thought they were so high & mighty end up getting shafted.

> [@Githany\_Red](#): > > me and my little corp set in motion a change in the game I’m pleased that you have been able to enjoy yourselves and get noticed by CCP. I did qualify my comment by using words like ‘doubt’, ‘much’ and ‘Eureka’, to indicate my caution. Certain frequent anti-ganking posters, both in GD and C&P seem unable to emulate your success.
