Killing a pod in W-space is a valid tactic. You may not like it, but that is part of W-space. It’s not griefing. You may have a rule against it, but it’s not widely accepted as you claim.

Well some people might prefer a podexpress home instead of having to move back a chain especially if the chain is broken by the time they try to slowpod home and without scanprobes the only alternative is self destruct anyway, so instead of a time consuming self destruct a podexpress is the helpful thing to do for such. Maybe ask politely if they want an express ride home. 😉

(Yes I’m aware you’ve been just joking sarcastically so just riding along with the theme.)

Its a valid tactic in an actual fight or an eviction, not a gank. it is otherwise considered dishonorable, widely. Its one of the first things Ashy talks about in her blogs.

Or they were trying to get you out on purpose. The “holding and podding” are intended game play mechanics and not griefing. Sorry bruv.

You may call it WH bushido, but it doesn’t mean everyone follows the code or has to. It may make you feel morally superior, but you still got that trip to the clone bay.

It seems you keep getting taught the same lesson, you just aren’t learning it.

You already admit it is a valid tactic. You didn’t get ganked. You lost a PvP fight 😃 Funny how honor seems to only exist to protect you hm? Honor for me would have been taking the loss without trash talk and accepting the death as your fault.

Well, I mean you do roll in your hole solo 😃 Also, you rolled solo, the risk was yours. And you didn’t get ganked. You lost a PvP fight 😃

It’s a valid tactic anywhere. Sure, it may not be considered classy, but comparing it to actual griefing is wayyy off the mark. You should always expect to be podded, as it is with anything you bring into w-space, it’s already lost anyway.  
While there are unwritten rules that have become common over the years, saying that it’s a certified code that everyone follows is just setting up yourself to disappointment. Go into W-space with the expectation of losing everything, then you won’t be disappointed to be able to sail away with your ship/capsule.

I didn’t see the podding is against wormhole bushido in the link to the Ashyin Space living in wormhole space primer that you included in the post. The Primer does say that WH space is pretty much about PvP. The Bushido that is listed is about keeping fights fair unless it’s a gank or home defense. From reading your posts, sounds like you were ganked unless you’re now telling us you brought the praxis to fight and asked for a fight. ??? Struggling to understand the 3 minutes of EWR before you were podded. Why didn’t you jump back through the WH or self destruct to stop the “Griefing”? From reading the kill mails the ship lost to podding are all within a minute. It can feel a lot longer when PvPing. Just confused about your post. Fly Safe o7

You don’t actually have to roll your hole closed.

If you are good at PvP, you can just do that instead. No reason to be a crybaby coward who has to lock themselves into a hole every night.
