My secret mystery main is my main. Nobody will ever know my secret mystery main. Someday, my secret mystery main will do great things. That day is not today, for today my secret mystery main is a secret mystery. FUN FACTS My secret mystery main is better than me. My secret mystery main has more skill than me, more isk than me, more fame than me, more ability than me, more firepower than me, more kills than me. My secret mystery main is a secret mystery, but not to me! You can laugh at me all you want, but deep down I know that I am a secret mystery main. ---

Gankers don’t have an issue with PvP so why would that be hypocritical? All I’m saying is you can’t just say “I only want the type of Pvp that benefits me” without seeming like a hypocrite. ---

Gankers want PvP of all kinds. If they get got by Anti-gankeragaonst their will it’s a risk of the job. Gud dites. People who don’t want to be ganked only want the type of PvP that benefits them - market PvP. So either you say “I don’t want to engage in PvP” and don’t engage in all forms of PvP or you are honest and say “I don’t want to get ganked because I could lose ISK but I want Market PvP because I can gain ISK”. Which is hypocritical. ---

That’s pretty convoluted reasoning. Of course gankers like ganking. They benefit from it ! Thus they _equally_ have an ’ I only want the type of PvP that benefits me ’ attitude…which falls foul of your very own argument that such stance is hypocritical. ---

Are you taking into account that many gankers have alts that engage in other aspects of play, and _gasp_ other forms of pvp? ---
