It’s impossible to get ganked in High Sec if you know what you’re doing. I’ve flown ships through gate camps. I’ve mined in ice fields with gankers actively taking down ships next to me.
I’ve even dodged bubbles in Null. I’ve avoided several gate camps while flying in and out of null.
I know how to play.
Yeah but this is EvE, where it’s a contraction of ‘suicide gank’ which means to attack someone in highsec in the full knowledge that CONCORDOKEN will occur. The generic online gaming term has been modified by the EvE community, this also means that the aspersions cast by the definition above, i.e. that it’s low effort, are also not true.
I do wish people would learn the vocab before posting on the forum.
You just wrote down exactly why I’ve never lost a mining ship 
That’s a bit misleading. I’ve mined in highsec and you don’t need any Athanor, etc. Just mine and sell ore at an NPC station that’s buying…preferable one that’s not too many jumps from the mining system.
I never once got ganked, or even close to being ganked, while mining. Ironically the only time I ever got ganked was while ratting in an asteroid belt in a non mining ship.
How was it misleading? Ah, I dont think you’ve ever heard of the upwell structures or what they’re used for. You should look into them. It’s a good read if nothing else.
Its all a bit misleading, as ‘ganking’ is really just PvP in highsec and the only difference between a 0.4 lowsec system and a 0.5 highsec system is that Concord respond in the latter. Giving it a specific name like ‘ganking’ sort of implies that it is some totally different activity…when it isn’t. Ganking is simply highsec PvP.
I guess so. I don’t know why suicide ganking became the term, but it did. 
Lol…I’ve participated in destroying literally hundreds of them.
Your comment was misleading because you said mining ‘requires an Athanor’. It doesn’t. You can make money mining without any Athanor. I’ve done so !
And your mental disorder refuses to allow you to move past that. I’m going to leave it there just for you 
Dude…you made a comment and your comment was wrong. Get over it.
Oh.. i never said mining requires an Athanor. Now your mental disorder will really start to cook! 
Yay, funny carebear miners forum catfight in a ganking thread!
I think he’s trying to argue that you can mine but you won’t make money.
That would seem to entirely depend on the definition of making money.
hth
By definition if you mine and sell your ore you are ‘making money’.
Yep. Gloria sees things how she wants to see them. I specifically stated money in that sentence, but she’ll argue all day that i didnt. I’ve learned to laugh at her “personality quirk”
I wouldn’t know anything about that.
How very noble of you.
And I quite specifically stated that I had made money from mining without an Athanor. Rather than you resorting to ad hominen, how about you look at your own words and how loosely you defined things such as to make a misleading statement.
