This is a fair comment and it’s great to see Dracvlad chalk up another point.

Organised AG would have to deal with certain people, who turn everyone away. Maybe you want to do good in the galaxy & whiteknight… But is it worth it, if you have to listen to the most self important paper pushers this community can procure?

The problem is that there’s not really incentive to be the “white knight”, other than personal satisfaction. Ganking (laziness) always pays better.

I think it is about time we retire all the (anti-)ganking posts in this forum from both sides. They do not lead anywhere.  
A lot of the people in those only post a one liner and pad their stats.

This shouldn’t even be a topic for discussion. Ganking exists. We all know it does. Will it go away from a sternly worded post? No!  
Deal with it, learn how to circumvent them, don’t feed them. It is the best advice I can give you. And no… ganking does not create valuable content. Just, let’s not swamp this forum with useless crap like this. Neither side is in the right here.

but all the lazy ppl dont want to learn how to prevent ganks ! they want to be lazy … and preventing ganks is against lazyness because ( only 1 reason now ) you cant haul all your stuff in one untanked hauler … if you do this then you will lose it for sure !

many ppl gave this advice … they dont listen ! they dont accept ! they want to be the “victim”

this dont say " dont replay with a one liner "

some one liner have way more content then whole posts with 1500 words ( dont know if there is a word limit xD )

The point being: this was a post done for defending ganking as original and content creating.  
It wasn’t an antiganker post.  
This wasn’t opened by someone complaining about gankers. This was opened by someone feeling the need to defend gankers out of the blue. There wasn’t even a reason.  
This whole post is useless and has no purpose.  
It is like saying “I like playing the trombone, because in an orchestra sometimes trombone players are needed. And if you disagree, then you are the devil’s incarnate.”  
Well… my play doesn’t involve the trombone. Go play in someone else’s.

yes, and every thread in this forum will escalate in such a “shitstorm discussion” …

doesnt matter … its a thread about ganking ! all threads about ganking will lead in a “discussion” which both sites insult the other and say that they are ■■■■ … dont matter if its true or not !

as many ppl can see in my thread, im not against ganking ! in pro ganking … did i gank by myseld ? → no ! why not ? i like other gameplay … am i scared of ganking ? → no ! why not ? because im not lazy in important situations !

I honestly do not care about ganking per se.  
I haven’t been ganked and I am not ganking. But I have been playing this game since the early 2010s.  
This level of nonsense and really not-saying-anything in the forums has become ridiculous.

Then by all means, you are best advised to simply ignore it.  
There _will_ be new topics every some weeks from either some noob who was ganked and is complaining over the game mechanics he doesn’t even understand and then keep arguing with people who do play for years and actually do understand the mechanics and try to give him advice. But he rather likes to keep arguing instead of listening and learning.  
Or topics from bored bittervets who are jealous that they achieved basically nothing and can’t find interesting content in the game, while the gankers make billions each day from ambushing lazy, dumb or new players.

Nothing you can do about it, unless the forum moderation would pin a fixed topic with some explanations about ganking and then strictly forbid any more discussion about the topic. Which will not happen.
