Its funny when this thread was made by anti-ganker and when all that is being discussed is current state. But even if you post a gif of a cat, these peoples will still claim that you are crying 😃 It makes sense tho. They were crying in some anti-ganking thread and they were told they are crying and whining. So now they are butthurt and tell that to their enemies at any opportunity they get. Unfortunately, they don’t understand the difference so their posts are just laughable. Or rather pitiful. ---

> [@Litsea\_Reticulata](#): > > There goes all the users at a Internet cafe, or people stuck behind carrier grade NAT. Yes I get that. I run multiplayer server myself and ever since I banned multiboxing and made it IP based, lot of players asking for exceptions because the share IP or play with brother etc. Still, the end result of this nerf was that you can no longer gank at all from alpha clone. So they could just as well just ban or threathen (like they do to ppls who gank in protected systems) that it is a no-no and next time it will result in a ban. Either way is it very easy to distinguish between real players and one player multiboxing even if the IP is the same. If they want it. You also basically say with this that CCP won’t ban you if you multibox alphas against the rules. Speaking from own experiences? 😃 ---

You’re the Aaaarg that sits there at the landing point at Jita ? I’ve never quite understood why. The docking there from Sobaseki is pretty quick, and other gankers are too far away to assist. ---

We always enjoyed a Aaaarrgg hunt, word would get around that that he was doing his pipe run and we would try and intercept. Now in reality it means nothing to him, he just sets off again in a new ship, we didn’t get any isk from it only one time some put a bounty on him. It doesn’t do much for your zkill, just a thrasher with gate gun help. Some said what’s the point but that’s mostly from the isk per hour players who seem to factor out fun from eve play altogether in favour of isk efficiency. Hunting him was good fun and taught our pilots some good skills, scouting, preparing an ambush, getting the right ship ready. All useful skills to make us better at catching other criminals. Thanks Aaaarrgg hope to see you around ---

No. That is another player. He is tornado ganking with cargo scanner from Sobaseki exactly because there are no other gankers. He is not scripting or lets say that his “setup” is not that fast so doing it there he can loot his victims without someone else stealing it. Obviously the traffic is lower there and so he often shoots just once per day. But it is probably the type of player who funds his other schenanigens with this so I guess it is worth it for him. Plus someone has to cover other gates so it is not 100% safe. @Aaaarrgg is a capsule ganker. He roams around highsec and killing capsules on autopilot. ---

I’m a 12 year old girl serving multiple consecutive life time sentences for blowing up pixilated space ships in a videogame. I’m sure if I had used an axe, the sentence would have only been a couple of years with parole. ---

> [@Yendor\_Kashada2](#): > > It will no longer be the isk faucet it once was. Ganking has never been an ISK faucet. The insurance payout is an ISK faucet for the targets that lose ships, but gankers themselves don’t receive any insurance/ That aside, if as you say, gankers shift their focus towards more valuable targets, how is it no longer an ISK faucet for them? It would be more of one surely. That also aside, gankers aren’t carebears. ISK isn’t necessarily their goal. There’s lots of other reasons they gank, but carebears don’t seem to think anything other than ISK is important. CCP don’t seem to understand this either.
