You can’t take away one person’s play style for another. Need away to make both entertaining, I had fun yesterday trying to stop them , maybe we should be able to join a faction police and get LP for every criminal we fire on. Gankers game play the same and we get stuff for shooting them

In that case it dosn’t. That is like telling a semi truck driver to start doing traffic stops.  
you either you do combat or you avoid combat. (pvp setting)

(edit) I think the incentive is a reliable form of isk making. its not going anywhere

Ok, so explain why you are so offended about the idea of removing CONCORD again if its “Either do combat or avoid combat” (PvP Setting)?

And what do Haulers and miners do if its not avoid combat?

> [@Madlightning](#):

What is?

Do you actually do anything or do you read about others and pretend?

From what i am gathering for the good discussion is

```
they few people who are pro ganking are like 

```

“Remove concord” so ganking disappears and becomes just Piracy

Another group of people are like Ganking /Anti-ganking should be balanced out some perks to anti ganking.

Carebare argument ganking removed

How is that balanced?

Yeah Im pretty sure you dont actually play.

If you did I think youd see why piracy is a better option than ganking.

You can fight back against pirates any time you want, but you seem to think its a good idea to be destroyed by CONCORD for trying.

You seriously havent much of an idea what it is you are arguing for or against, have you?

but when you see places like uedama its endless ship , some even slow boat , we have tried to tell people but many don’t look in local or take any notice. I’m ok with that as i am with gankers but I like to kill people who take part in crime.

Someone ask for help only the other day we helped someone do the Uedama run , with 4 ew burst ships with reps and scouts ready , the guys was pleased . maybe not going to stop a large gank but it would have been fun

Ok, thats why I dont get why there should be an incentive, if you are going to do it anyway.

The best incentive there could be is the circumvention or removal of CONCORD so you could engage them on your terms.

The only reason more people dont Antigank is that they are garunteed to lose their ship if they do a pre-emptive strike (gank) on their target and they dont want that.

It would require nearly a entire overhaul of the entire game. Highsec is all about the appearance of safety its so far out of the realm of reasonable discussion

Mining and hualing

I haul, run missions, roam null, pvp gang, Gank reds if I see them slipping in ice belts,  
and one point sit and mine ore and ice. before i ripped all of those skills out.

More recently help new players who like to mine how to mitigate risk while hauling and Mining if you going to get ganked. its going to happen its important to make it less impactful all together.

and the only thing I pretend to do is be a caldari POLICEMAN WEEWOO WEEWOO😜

No it wouldnt. Can you provide any reason why it would when Sec has been changed in numerous systems over the years with no entire overhaul?

And this is where you explain why thats important or matters in a game where you can be PvP’d at any time?

Mining and Hauling are not

Neither actually generates Isk. Come back to that when you want to talk about Ratting.

Then I expect to see the numbers of ganked new players climb if they are listening to your advice.

Not that I believe you, ofc.

At the end of the day, you dont want CONCORD removed because you are scared of losing your stuff because you cant protect it. If youd admit that then youd be well on your way to making an honest point.

that is the disconnect we are having maybe incentive is the wrong term we are using. hell getting Ranks form the local police would be a Great reward. Does it impact gameplay nope. It is another achievement for people who care enough to go after it.

CCP killed bounty hunting (was never really a thing) people did it though

We are in fact police , from new edem, no one asked us to do this and we don’t pay for any kill rights.

That’s a bit for our friend @MacGybo just watched his ganking video well done

Yeah but you say incentive, reward, basically “Bribe me to do the thing I want to do”

and not “Let me do the thing I want to do without hinderance”

Do you see the difference there?

Concord is built in to every system in eve more importantly high/low. The economy for Eve changes Extremely any time CCP messes with space

look at when the trigs stole a bunch of systems Markets went wild for a bit. as someone else said concord being removed effectively changes high sec. something between high and low. That is major in itself

go talk to someone from CCP thats how they market it now

Didn’t say generate but ok, “wealth redistribution” by the activity of harvesting. Making Billions in high is not hard and it never going anywhere it might change a bit but Rock solid 😉

thats strange people that I have had contact with who Mine have kill marks on their Mining barges. (hey if they bring 10+ catas I mean if they want to kill you, you gunna die)

so STRANGE and you don’t have to believe me.  
I take it Mining in a procurer you are more likely to get ganked?  
I guess you link thats a lie too, fair enough do as you Iike I won’t stop you

So you dont have an answer yourself? You dont actualyl know what you are basing your supposition on?

This is how they market EvE:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/0/e/2/0e2a91ac4639e0caac23fa22303d373f65c096a7.png)  
None of those things would vanish from the game if CONCORD were removed.

Dude you could literally say anything, that doesnt make it true. This isnt evidence of anything, this is just you saying stuff without evidence.

> [@Madlightning](#):

What has this supposition got to do with anything? I dont know why anyone would choose to gank a Proc over a Retriever but Im sure somebody would. Is that relevent in some way?

> [@Madlightning](#):

You have chosen to completely ignore the point. I guess you dont have an answer for that either.
