Ohhh, look… You just proved my point and are not even able to realise that… Talk about totally not getting it… Why am I not surprised?
This has absolutely nothing to do with the ISK-based game “imbalance” that you were whining about before. Suddenly, the ships that the gankers might fly to gank you have become irrelevant, because it’s not that they wouldn’t be able to gank you in null sec using the ships they can use to gank you in high sec. It’s that, under those circumstances they wouldn’t be able to gank you in null at all, no matter what ships they fly. This is not a game imbalance issue, this is a situational awareness issue…
Moreover, you talk about this kind of security as if it was a given, completely ignoring the implications of that security being all player driven. It’s not that null sec is intrinsically safer than high sec, it’s that some players decided to do what it takes to provide the security they want for themselves there, something you’re clearly unwilling to do yourself…
You pretend that just because some players decided to make the effort it takes to create that safety infrastructure in null, you’re entitled to demand CCP to provide the same kind of safety for yourself in high sec…
You turn it into a situational awareness issue in null sec, but then are unwilling to use the tools at your disposal and do what it takes to be situational aware in high sec too…
Again totally not getting it… Of course, everybody can die, eventually, so what? What I said is that they don’t face a sure death to CONCORD for doing it. What part of “sure death to CONCORD” do you not understand?
Knowing you may eventually lose your ship to some other player is by itself not a reason to fly cheap. Actually, unlike what would happen to a suicide ganker in high sec, flying an expensive ship may increase your chances to survive in low or null. The guaranteed loss of your ship just a few seconds after start shooting, regardless of what you fly, however, is obviously a reason to fly cheap, and nobody would gank with expensive ships in low or null either if that was the case there too. You really cannot grasp this, can you?
They’re taking a risk precisely because they have the luxury of it being just that, a risk, and not a sure death there. Get that already.
If you had decent comprehension and coherence capabilities, you would actually be asking for CONCORD to be removed from high sec, so gankers would be able to gank you with expensive ships there too and not have to do it with cheap ships like they have to do in high sec because of CONCORD. That way the Catalysts that you seem to be so concerned with would no longer be an issue because you would be ganked with something much better and more expensive instead…
Actually, why on earth do you bother to play in high sec to begin with? Why don’t you just stay in low or null, which apparently have some better “balanced” game mechanics that make Catalysts work differently and not be an issue there?
