> [@Mike\_Azariah](#): > > But I DO think ganking is a valid portion of Eve. > > Just maybe less so, seal clubbing But then again. My first alt was ganked a few weeks into EVE, by a single Catalyst in 0.5 Aurcel. I was then blown up a week later next door in 0.4 Egghelende on my very first venture into lowsec, by 6 ships at a gate camp. Which of those was the seal clubbing ? And how come I’m still in EVE over 5 years later and didn’t ‘rage quit’ as it seems I was supposed to have ? ---
