You realize that means you’re _winning,_ right?

Or are you expecting gankers to hang around to give you “gudfites” because that’s what they’re obligated to do for some reason? Because if you want **that,** maybe stop hiding behind CONCORD protection so that they can engage you as freely as you engage them? Or do you think that it’s only fair if you’re the only one who can legally freely engage targets?

Dracvlad keeps droning on and on and _on_ about how AGs are bored because the gankers won’t respond in kind whenever AGs show up in force and challenge them:

> Gankers just don’t show up or go AFK, so we end up with a lot of bored people

Well, when I [challenged Dracvlad to open conflict](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/suspect-criminal-timer-and-player-owned-stations/348836/28), he released like a gallon of vulva juice, pretended that he didn’t read it because I was “blocked” (after literally responding to me just a few posts ago), and then clammed up like some kind of riverbed mollusk.

So which is it? Do you people want genuine confrontation, or do you want to keep farming CONCORD kills while complaining that the gankers don’t come out to feed you every blue moon when you have a decent fleet out?

The hypocrisy coming from your side is _downright palpable._

I once fought Krig Povelli’s battle orca in my orthrus on a bet. Once it was clear I had won I ransomed him for 1b isk because he had 79 killmarks on it. We’ve been friends ever since. The quality of people you attempt to fight on a daily basis are orders of magnitude better at this game than you are. You should accept your place amongst the plebs and move to null.

(edit) And before you go complaining about 1b isk, that was just the ransom for the killmarks, he has another 50+ orcas he’s stolen in storage, the loss wouldn’t have cost him anything.

It’s funny how gankers act in space and on the forums , "oh Ag fail all the time " well you know what I mean but in space if we show up they start faffing around like a kid in a sweet shop. Unfortunately and I don’t blame them they stop being active or move sys and then yes it can get boring.

We try to do other things like KR or hunt moving gank fleets but we can’t over fish any one area .

Of course 10 pilots can stop a gank or fast tackler can pull ships from a moving gank fleet but they counter it . We know they are not stupid unfortunately.

If you want armed conflict, you know how to get it.

If you just want to stop ganks, then don’t complain that gankers aren’t giving you handicapped “fights” just to stroke your ego every time you show up.

I wish I was stupid. Ignorance is bliss and whatnot. Unfortunately I’m not and I have to deal with these morons shooting one of my 15 gankers any time I try to leave Uedama. It delays me by a whole minute and 30 seconds. What a waste.

LOL, I define myself as merely competent at this game. And when I detail anything about my experiences it is only to make a point. That people seem to get salty about this is more of their issue than mine. I can freely say that Kusion is the top ganker, because he is, no skin off my nose. AIko is also an excellent ganker.

This is also why making such comments is a total waste of time for you and those other posters, and is yet another gank failure.

Be honest. James opens some low quality troll thread at least monthly and it gets promptly closed.

You are deluded tactically. EVE is never a level playing field, unless you are fighting one on one duels in equivalent ships and builds and so on.

Right, and gankers play at a disadvantage, operating against the handicaps of CONCORD, faction police, and gate guns. Meanwhile, antigankers have all the advantages – they can fly more expensive ships, they are protected by CONCORD, they get to loiter in space without faction police responding – and yet the antigankers fail continuously, and cry for ganking to be nerfed. It’s almost like gankers are better at the game.

One has to laugh at you believing your own twisted propaganda.

You have scouts in Uedama 24/7…I don’t see Concord doing anything about them even though everyone else knows why they are there. If anyone’s at a handicap from Concord it is anti-gankers, who those dumb officers of Concord will attack if anyone proactively acts to defend against the local mafia. Your lot only fly cheap ships because all you have to bother about is DPS…so a cheap Catalyst will do.

Oh, and its not hard to be ‘better at the game’ when there’s 40 of you, and all any one ganker has to do is lock on a ship, hit F1, and get 2% of the practically guaranteed kill.
