Alternatively not being AFK / paying the slightest attention to your surroundings can improve your chances of avoiding a gank considerably. ---

Thats what I thought until I was told otherwise Now I dont know what to believe Hilmar will show us the way, we just need to feed him the wallets of noobs to quench is never-ending thirst for cash. Otherwise, its griefing ---

That is, unless Hilmar decides to go on another diet soon, in which case – because he views the company as an extension of him – he’ll make the company go on a diet by laying off a bunch of CCP employees. Again. Not griefing, just ganking jobs from employees. ---

No no no, that saves him money so its neither ganking nor griefing. Its an “expansion” Everything must be sacrificed for Hilmar’s wallet. Players, the game, people, everything. ---

I think CCP is more interested in squeezing $$$ out of the whales. A single whale can spend as much as dozens or even hundreds of regular players. :psyccp: ---
