Rise never showed any data or statistics in his presentation that prove his talking points. He just threw out this statement during fanfest and did not go into more detail. However, thanks for bringing up this old forum post. It has more gems of CCP incompetence in it that made me chuckle and groan in agony. And I haven’t seen Sabriz in a loooong time. Man, this dev post evokes some fond memories. 🙂 ![REDNES](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/9/6/5/96524d53cb22e8d34dff925203908c55729b363e.png) ---

I’ve dedicated my entire EVE ganking career to serving the ideals of CCP Rise, who assured me that ganking newbro Ventures is the best way to ensure their longterm success. ---

I’d be happy to demolish your premise with logic and the fact that high-sec ganking is the weakest of weaksauce in the PvP world, and drives away more players than it retains. However, I still have hope that obvious troll threads will get shut down in short order, so won’t bother to waste the time here. ---
