It seems the be integral to her entire argument. It doesn’t seem missing at all.

I don’t agree with it (and think the sec status hit is fine, even if it’s a character on an alpha account that is ganked), but the difference between alpha and omega is exactly the point she is making.

Do you know what the definition of insanity is?

I’ll give you a hint. It has something to do with trying to have a rational discussion with [Redacted].

Yeah no. The changes CCP made did not affect any “professional” ganker at all and the day tripper ones were never the problem to begin with, if there even was a problem.

In short: crybabies cry for changes that don’t work and change nothing. And when said change happens, that affects nothing, they will cry for more changes so you might as well ignore the crying.

No idea. Never spoken to that person, fleeted with any of them at all ever nor am I an active ganker to begin with.

Besides, you can be sure that any ganker has been reported a bazillion times and been checked by GM multiple times. Anyone who has a bunch of alpha gank accounts used logged in, avoiding the alpha limitations, would have been found out and removed long ago. If you have actual proof, like real proof, feel free to post it otherwise stfu on the subject.

Of course she has, because she knows that will grind people’s gears in the forum.

Wut. NPCs are the original griefers.

Gankers on the over hand intend to grief and always bring overwhelming force. The helplessness and the removal of the targets player agency by another player factors heavily into the impact.

Ah. So you got peer reviewed studies backing this hypothesis right?

Right?

Actually he isn’t. With players, skill is involved. For example, when you fight an NPC fighter in Street Fighter on the highest settings, you lose often because it simply plays faster than humans can.

I feel more cheated fighting the computer than a player. Players are human and can mess up.

You do in order to form the hypothesis you’re trying to 😃

These weren’t alphas. CCP should ban y’all for spreading this ■■■■■■■■.

It’s bad enough y’all are so pathetic that you’d rather whine then HTFU. THEN you gotta come spread misinformation on the forums? Honestly, a post like this should warrant a temp forum ban at this point. Straight up lying.

Seriously though. The anti-PvP crowd in this game is the most pathetic community I have ever experienced in my life. Y’all know the least, whine the loudest, and have all but destroyed one of the best games of all time with your entitlement.

Anti-PvP = Entitled brat

You can not have but one Alpha account per subscriber. BUT, you can plex omega time on Alpha accounts which is what the Null Nerds do so one low life can use serveral alpha omegas to gank/greif you. There is is economic reward for this except cloaked greifing.

No…but I’m quite happy to do so…

My Alpha ganker could only ever get to about 600 DPS with a Catalyst…as Alphas actually cannot do the full range of skills. Since I moved my ganker account to be one of my Omega accounts, its already on 750 DPS after just 2 weeks, and heading towards 800 DPS or so.

So the net effect of all you whiny crybabies is that I now have a far more effective ganker character. Coming to a system near you…soon. You haven’t stopped ganking…you’ve actually ensured that gankers will be more powerful, ironically.

Moved or upgraded? If you had to upgrade to Omega then CCP definitely got the result they were looking for. If you transferred a character then CCP definitely got the result they were looking for. BTW, are you still funding both sides of this war…if you are, then CCP definitely got the result they were looking for.
