You have a pedantic, overly-complex argument. The scenario you have presented is considered rookie griefing and CCP has declared it against the rules. There is no need to fill pages and pages of the internet with arguments. Just report it - it isn’t supposed to happen.

It isn’t a hard concept.

You’re just wrong.

Xeux,  
so I’m just posting ad infinitum here all by myself, and not responding to others?  
someone says something I disagree with, and I point out -why- I disagree, the best come back you seem to be able to field is Ad Hominem…

Narcissism.

lol but mate, here’s the thing: I don’t give a ■■■■! 😃

_You_ got ganked …  
… and only _you_ really care about that!

This is a _game_ and the rules are clear.

It is also clear as ■■■■ that you _are_ taking this personally.

You _are_ a narcissist.  
You also have issues with _power_, specifically _power over others_.

You _don’t_ seem to like getting ganked …  
… as if you didn’t like someone having _power over you_.

This is all just you …  
… and your lack of emotional self-awareness beyond what you can keep under tight control.

Whatever issues you’re having, _this game_ will NOT make you happy!

Guess it’s setting well with new players, specially since triglavians are invisible at the overview unless the player turns them on. I would be worried if EVE still had a future, but in this time and date this is just par for the course. November 2021 is 2 years away and things will get a lot worse until/before EV…

Solstice,  
so it’s ‘just me’ hmm?  
maybe your opinion is ‘just you’

Did CCP address it?

If yes, well, then why are you complaining?  
If no, well, then why are you assuming you know better than them?

“He reminds me of a college professor or something - talking down to everybody - expecting people to listen to his dumb ideas.”
