Ganking killing content

CCP should remove incursions from Highsec. The mom has been defeated, there is no reason to have them in Highsec any longer.

Miners can go back to veldspar.

I agree remove Mom she has been thrown from the train incursion failed.

I don’t think you know what a ‘ganker’ is…

I think they get like 5 million isk.

A comment that could only be made by someone who has never actually ganked.

People say the word ganker so much it lost all meaning lol.

So true, Anthony.

In ‘Western’ popular culture, many terms have suffered the same fate, used pejoratively, and weighted down with implications which they may not originally have borne.

Thus ‘Ganker’ becomes also ‘Griefer, Bully, Sociopath, Cheat’, etc. It’s lazy thinking, lazy writing. In an intelligent person it’s wilful dishonesty, because although any EVE player may be one or more of these things, like any other EVE player, the Ganker may be none of them!

Should go back to the original incursions that were controlled by a GM and players did all the wacky stuff to close the WH’s like bombing it.

Yes they can remove it but they have to make a similar PVE conttent that attracted the same amount of players and communities like incursions

Why don’t the incursion players kill the mom 1st before Kusion and Hawk get to it , at least they get some isk .

Or as someone else suggested , gank their fleet .

Then you can go back to farming for a bit until Kusion has a new shower idea.

I think this has been covered, Githany, somewhere up above. My take on it is that:

  1. It would prematurely end their prospect of farming the Incursion.
  2. It would require them to switch from PvE to PvP (and to be smarter than Kusion/Hawk).

If I’ve misunderstood, I’m sure someone will correct me; I’m not an Incursion Runner.

  1. it’s plain stupid. They don’t want the MOM dead because then they can’t farm.
  2. switching from PVE to PVP is also completely stupid. It achieves nothing but waste of time.

There is no, ‘Eve is a PvP game.’ Eve Online is whatever you make it to be.

Which I sought to cover with:

And:

Which I also covered earlier, Stefnia, by implying that if ‘thousands of players’ are running Incursions, the only real bar to their defeating Kusion and/or Hawk is skill - since they clearly have the numbers.

Remember, all they have to do is discourage the interlopers, not even necessarily defeat them. But, and I repeat it for emphasis, they won’t attempt any solution which appears to demand their active involvement.

They only have to kill the mom untill Kusion and friends stop showing up then back to farming .

It’s about controlling a situation and gankers have 100% control right now

Indeed ! But the notion of “why” was not clear. The answer is, that it is stupid : as in, there is no reason to do so.

That is also stupid. More precisely, it’s an argument from ignorance : you don’t know, so you pretend that an interpretation that fits your idea is the correct one. It’s not.
“skill” is a meaningless term used for the sole reason to insult the disagreeing party. Don’t be an asshole, don’t use terms like “they are lacking skill” - unless you talk about skillpoint of course.

The game is - as often - skewed in the favor of the griefer.
The mechanics don’t allow people to take any meaningful action.
If you gank him, so what ? He comes back in new cheap ships with concord on place.

Then the griefer comes back. Back to present state. Thank you for your useless opinion.

So far, Stefnia, you have called me stupid, ignorant, and an a…hole.

It doesn’t sound like much. Is there more you’re keeping back, out of respect, perhaps?

:grinning:

No I did not.

I called the argument that they should kill the MOM stupid : there is no reason to do so.

I called an argument based on your lack of knowledge an “argument from ignorance” : Argument from ignorance - Wikipedia . That’s a definition.
I said that an argument from ignorance is stupid. I explained why : it’s lacking logic.

And I say that you “be an asshole”, that is that you show yourself as one, when you insult other people under the pretense of discussion. That’s basic education. People make mistakes, just because you made one does not mean your opinion should be discarded, as long as you acknowledge it.

The one that is missing is “you are toxic” when you pretend that people are responsible for the bad mechanisms. But that is like “being an asshole”, the difference being that toxic people do that in their own interest while assholes do that as a part of their (lack of) education.

So yes, what makes me keeping back is that I assume you are posting in good faith. :slight_smile:
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you also make up absurd rules in order to justify your abuse of poorly designed mechanisms. I can be wrong too.

Correct me if I’m wrong (as I have little experience with incursion running), but from the context given in this thread it seems to me that by using PvP against the players who wish to kill this ‘MOM’, incursion runners can achieve an extension of the duration of the incursion, is it not?

So aside from the content of PvP, which may or may not be fun depending on your point of view, incursion runners have something to achieve by switching from PvE to PvP, if only temporarily.
