Oof, that might get flagged as well for being inappropriate.

Because pointy things can be very inappropriate too. And someone doesn’t like that. Including sticks. And tasers. And Void antimatter. And Emergent gameplay involving blappy blaps.

I know, right. Handing out free samples to get people hooked on a product has long been a practice in the drug dealing industry.

Pretty scuzzy of CCP to try and get people hooked on omega and monthy subs by handing out a week long free sample.

I think, CCP should give me a life long subscription and 1000 plex per month. Just because I’m fabulous and they don’t want to loose such a critical influencer.

I sit on the chair, as a human. That is dominant and in control

You are more than welcome live under the desk, like Golum. In the shadows. Never seen, nor heard from.

And when I say under the desk, I mean _your_ desk. I can’t imagine how smelly you would get living like that and my delicate olfactory system just won’t be able to handle it.

Do you know when you had been out mining all afternoon in your Barge and notice the grime on the outside of it that goes away once you clean ship.

That grime right there is way more cleaner than the goo you like to swim in while inside your pod!

We wouldn’t need to even have a thread like this if the devs would simply make ganking go away in certain areas regardless of minority who would lose their minds because they couldn’t freely salt others.

I don’t like the fact that when my alts visit 0.0 and other I can’t “do what I like” but I accept the fact that in those places there is no margin of safety, but God forbid the reverse is true for one area of the game.

_not in any order_ but once the term risk vs reward is understood clearly how Eve Online will always have a place for ganking and that it is not going to completely go away as there would be _less conflict_, _less connections_ and most of all _less discussions_.

Find that reward and balance the risk is the only correct answer.

This is a lie. You can always always _always_ ”do what I like”, what bothers people is “do what I like _without getting blown up by other players_”.

- Wanna mine in a rorqual in nullsec without having any blues or friends? Nothing in the game mechanics stops you. Just other players.
- Want to load up a high sec mission running faction battleship with abyssal rolled purple mods? Nothing in the game mechanics stops you. Just other players.
- Want to load up a bunch of PLEX and LSIs into an untanked T1 hauler and Autopilot through Abhazon? Nothing in the game mechanics stops you. Just other players.

“I do what I want” is true in _any_ sector of space. Just requires balls or dumbassery.

“I do what I want _without getting blown up by other players_” is not true in _any_ sector of space, and high sec should be no exception.
