Does Gate-Camping Add Value To EVE?

I find that it’s pretty easy to avoid gate camps, no alts or escorts needed. Any time you’re thinking of going into low-sec, check it out on the map. Only go in if it’s quiet.

Thats why Tama as well as other lowsec entries and surrounding could see so much more activity. its just too reasonable to go, where nobody has gone before… or rather IS. Then how do you meet? Isnt it supposed to be a social game?

@Lady_Ayeipsia

They a2rw expecting to get as many kills as they can before a bigger fleet comes along, and there usually is a bigger fleet that will come along.

nope. its just too easy to spot and puss out. gate camping is nearly no-risk.

@jemmi

Could be you entered someone’s space and they were merely defending it.

good point.

@Imustbecomfused

I thought it was fun when ever we set up a gate camp… who ever I was flying with. It usually involved tons of jokes and laughs unless you are lazyhacks, they critisize everything to a T… just depends on who you fly with I think, GOTG was super relaxed when it wasnt a serious op, Neg Density was chilled too, usually talked philosophy or real ■■■■ too…

Its always, about the man sitting next to you.

People attract like people. like energy attracts. pretty much self explanatory.

Is that value being added to the game or community, Yes. I believe so.

I believe so too. There might be nothing happening, but ultimately your having a good time.

Or the game could improve the mechanics by which people hunt in open space, thereby eliminating the need to sit in 1 spot hoping people show up.

i had an idea of initiating warp to dscan entries:
