„Why can’t I put a gun on my freighter“ joins the long list of…
„Why don’t sentry guns do more damage“
„Why doesn’t concord kill the attacker before they kill me?“
„Why isn’t high sec forced green safety?“
„Why can’t the catalyst do less DPS?“
„Why can’t it be more expensive to gank?“
„Why are criminals allowed to be in high sec at all?“
„Why can’t mining barges have more EHP?“
Etc.
