Gank Related Megathread Pt. 2

The blog post of changes is now up: Changes to Security Status & Abyssal Filaments | EVE Online

TL;DR:

Highsec ganking is a valid and necessary playstyle

Hopefully this satisfies Lucas Kell’s repeated and obnoxious repeated attempts to lump all ganking as griefing. Also, predicably, in b4 “I never said that” and “I want gankers to still be around”.

Black and white, no room for compromise and attention to other playstyles. Not unexpected.

I tried nuance in the past. Gankers don’t understand it so I’ve gone with the absolutist approach. I no longer care about their playstyle existing and would be entirely happy if CCP purged them from the game. Ultimately I think CCP would gain subscribers if they purged ganking.

@Lucas_Kell

Ultimately this is a pointless discussion though. CCP won’t ever balance or remove ganking, the same handful of incels will continue to abuse new players and CCP will continuously scratch their heads and wonder why they can’t retain a playerbase.
