It would take mere minutes to relay your goods in smaller amounts from Sobaseki, for example. That is what I have often done. The Jita gankers wont bother ganking you for under 200m ISK. I’ve relayed slightly larger amounts and never yet been ganked. Some, like MacGybo, wont bother with under 400m.
The whole thing might add another 10-15 minutes to your haul.
I believe that there is to much ganking going on. I was hit 4 times in 1 hour, 1 Venture, 1 destroyer and 2 corvettes. Can you believe that, man they must be desperate to go after empty corvettes. All I know is if this continues, I will abandon game. I do like Eve but when my enjoyment becomes a matter of surviving, that’s where I draw the line. I might as well go back to one of the other games where I control where I might meet my end. Anyways, I. do like Eve, and I will play until it get’s ridiculous. To All Be Safe.
The proposals in your post are great. I have made similar proposals in the past myself. TO both increase the complexity of the criminal enterprise, as well as give meaningful consequence to criminal actions.
Ganking is not Elite pvp. Its not even pvp actually…
~ Your killing a ship with no chance of fighting back. ---- Meaning No skill is involved.
~ Your income from the gank is automatically calculated by the gank leader to cover the loss of all ships (unless it’s just a harassment gank). ------- Meaning you suffer a net 0 Loss. (No Loss)
~ Your gank leader has laready paid for the tags needed to keep you in highsec. ---- Meaning you suffer absolutely no penalty for the crime.
There is is 0 skill, 0 Risk, and nothing but profit. In ganking.
In fact CCP actually considers it an Exploit and a Violation of the Eula. (And this was confirmed in a ticket). However, CPP will not do anything about it because of the same reason they will not do anything about the bots, which they also legitimately consider an exploit.
“Because it would adversely effect the player experience”.
So please… Stop trying to defend ganking as some noble effort to save EvE. It’s just a bunch of lazy people exploiting an obviously loophole for 1 of 2 reasons:
For tears
For money
It does nothing but damage the game, and player base and serves absolutely no purpose except to do just that. Lazy uncreative people, take the easiest road. And ganking haulers and freighter… well… It does not get any more lowskill, or low brain power then that.
They also misrepresent studies and take results out of context to create false equivalencies to push their biased narratives while at the same time conveniently failing to provide citation.
Even though I consider gankers to be bottom feeders, I disagree with the idea there is 0 skill. Most gankers can tell you exactly how many catalysts they will need to blow up a certain ship in a certain system based on the security status. Having knowledge is actually a skill.
And its not hard to avoid getting ganked, you just have to have some knowledge (AKA some skill) to avoid it.
Dark age of Camelot did this on the pvp server and Ultima online is it’s (mental) daddy.
For space I think someone want to look at Jumpgate to get a sense of how histrionic repetetive the whole thread here is … but then we just have to wait how Chris Robert is going to handle the issue meanwhile, let’s enjoy the reply bingo.
