Found your problem.
Not caring about losses is God mode.
I mean, obviously not.
You simply have learned helplessness, and pretending doesnât actually help.
Thatâs not how learned helplessness works.
Iâll be spending some time in Caldari space in the next few days. You guys still use that same Teamspeak? Iâve got 7 Catalyst toons to bring this time. First roundâs on me.
Man, really, all this nitpicking about how terms in EvE donât mean what youâd expect them to mean is plain silly and will get you nowhere other than a massive waste of time. Terms in game donât have to mean the same they do IRL, damn it. This has nothing to do with lying, this is simply a matter of EvE being a fantasy gameâŚ
Because of the mismatch between fantasy and reality, no matter what terms you use for things, theyâre always going to have a different meaning in game and RL. The âfixâ for that is not to change the game so the terms in game mean the same they mean IRL. Itâs you who needs to learn and get used to the specific meaning terms have in gameâŚ
No, I didnât misunderstand. Itâs you who did not fully understand the implications of what you said yourselfâŚ
You had been told you were taking things too far. You replied to that saying that asking for a complete end to ganking would be taking things too far, but that you didnât do that⌠What Iâm telling you is that not only did you do that, but you did actually more than what you said yourself would have been taking things too farâŚ
Not only did you ask for a complete end to suicide ganking, but you also suggested part of what currently constitutes low sec to be made safer too⌠That would actually be an additional nerf over completely removing suicide ganking, but the fact that it would make suicide ganking still possible elsewhere made you believe you didnât really suggest completely removing suicide ganking, when in fact what you did is suggest an even bigger nerf than thatâŚ
Sure it does. Everything said there about the game is true. How is it not? What the â â â â is your point here?

Do people think all gankers multi box or something? The vast majority are in gangs from what I seen.
I only have one alpha account.
There is absolutely zero reason to fly like that. Wtf were you even going with all that stuff?
I give absolutely zero â â â â .
Yes!!
But you have to come take it from me.
Please do that, Iâm tired of dying just by making stupid mistakes, this way I at least invited it.
I will try to have something fun at all times from now on just in case you show up.
I feel like Iâve just asked a ganker out on a dateâŚ
WowâŚ
Please be violent with me, Iâve never done this before.
Teehee!
Iâm so doomed

Loss of their ship AND deleting their characterâor resetting all skills to zeroâwould be more realistic. As it is, the damage the gankee suffers is way more than what the ganker suffers. No real life pirate counts on the loss of his or her own life when he goes after a ship.
I feel I have to disagree, in the commonwealth Saga (series of sci-fi books) cloning technology was available, troops would go out and lose their lives knowing they would return in new bodyâs.
So with Eveâs technology suicide ganking could happen

A fitting place to post this battle report ,showing gankers donât have it there way all the time, if you take action with your m8 .
In a galaxy far far wayâŚ
⌠There had been reports of criminal activity in Lonetrek, so the fleet moved in to investigate. After a slight delay from a new recruit filling out HR forms, the fledgling cadets Mandalf, Floofy, and Rane listened nervously to the intel briefing as we hurtled through space towards the target area.
After a few moments, like a human computer focused in cold concentration Fire Venom sent out our trusted scout Wah, to locate the infamous ganker scout Donkey-Kong
Like a laser guided missile of accuracy Wah confirms the target location, and slips between the criminal staging area and itâs scout.
With nerves of steel Fire Venom directs us to our positions and like cold blooded panthers of justice, we crouch on the gate, brows sweating, modules primed, and fingers ready. (F! note to self buy thermodynamics)
In a flash of light, they warp in, three catalysts, and its a sudden burst of target locks and activity, the three slippery destroyer trying to escape in the chaos.
Usually one might say that time slows down in a life or death situation like this, but to me, young cadet Mandalf, it seems like time speeds up into a blur. (Also Iâm pretty stoned and drinking beer on a Saturday afternoon which is rare for me, but I digress.)
All I know is my assigned target position is empty, so I start trying to lock the first Cat. After what feels like an eternity, I get a lock and point on them, the sound of my slahserâs sensors squealing in glee at a potential victim.
You can almost hear the struggle and confusion as the normally untouchable pirate has been caught in our web of righteousness.
A few artillery rounds later Sleepy Joe Bidenâs Catalyst⌠goes to sleep forever in a ball of fire. A report comes in over comms that the exceedingly deadly Wuh Huren has them on the gate across system.
I warp to gate, but the smoke is already clearing as Wuh smiles and through comms I hear âwe got emâ as I get a big thumbs up.
Oblivious, or maybe not⌠somewhere a miner keeps mining, harvesting the lifeblood that keeps New Eden growing and moving. This is but a small victory this day for all of New Eden, but our chase had only just begunâŚ

Mandalf drooled, crunching his half empty can with excitement, spilling beer all over the console and his tray of marijuana, âGosh darn golly, gee, we sure did dun get this efil greef monster!â The New Eden Pleb Force was victorious, having caught none other than Sleepy Joe Biden, on a gate (with the assistance of Caldari Police bots). Fire Venomâs voice crackled through the commwaves, âNow thatâs some elite PvP, shore enough!â Mandalf smiled, proud to think that somewhere an AFK miner would return to their computer and find another half penny in their wallet.
One minute later, the celebration was cut short. Lured away from Uedama, the Plebforce had failed to prevent another gank in the very system where they previously claimed victory. Mandalf tried to think of a silver lining, attempting to drink more beer from his can, oblivious to the liquid running down his chin and spilling over his sticky uniform, âWell,â he mumbled, âwe didnât want to save that Bustard anywaysâŚâ
The New Eden Plebs squinted their tiny little eyes, blasting Sleepy Joeâs pod, trying to feel better about the fact that they had killed an enemy. It wasnât the greatest victory, but it was their victory, and they knew Sleepy Joe was surely upset about the loss. âDurrrrrâ, Mandalf chortled, âHe done got his self wrecked.â It didnât matter if the pod was empty, for a pod is a pod, and any win is worth celebrating.
Of course, some victories are worth more.

I do like your take on things , maybe stop drinking your pod goo, anyway no matter how you try to spin a story to distract from reality weather it be stream snipping , bullying new miners or just causing mayhem at a wim, we all understand the truth and what you are.
No Matter how you spin it .
