Is highsec ganking still a thing?

You have no killboard activity.

There is no evidence you play the game. There is no evidence you have friends, or that they play the game. There is no reason to think you have any valid opinion. Let us know if you can provide proof of actually playing EvE Online.

You got me. I’ve never tried the game, in fact i’ve shorted CCP stock and have to ruin the game by preventing you from suiciding your catalyst into mining ships in highsec, a integral part of EVE that holds the game afloat really.

I’m aware, all you do is complain in the forums.

Play the game or move on.

That crap again?

Is that your stock answer, can’t think of anything else?

Killboards mean absolutely nothing, and prove absolutely nothing.

Apart from some thinking they can tell how people play by looking at it, feel free to look at mine (again) this is my main and then tell me, or try to tell me I haven’t been playing for what, 13 years now?

People, stop quoting it, I have it blocked…

She is an old and broken record, evidenced by this as well:

As you can see she is getting old, outdated and old fashioned. She doesn’t have what it takes to take down a target she several times openly considered a clown, dull, boring and whatnot, yet she just ran away from him like a scared little rat. :blush:

:thinking:

Doesn’t have much value whatever she says unless she admits her faults. You can just smile at her desperate attempt at begging for attention and move on. :wink:

That means you aren’t playing? So why try to change a game lots of other people enjoy, if you aren’t even part of it.
I mean, I don’t come to your party and telling you that your music sucks and the food is terrible, right?
IF you play the game, you should have known that EVE is a full PvP game from the moment you undock and everyone out there is, one way or another, someone who might try to trap, trick or kill you.
If you cannot understant that simple thing, really go play something else. The game was created so players can build up stuff that other players can destroy again. That is why pretty much everything a player creates in the game, can be destroyed one way or another.

Those zones do exist as I already told you. You simply refuse to listen. Go to some remote HighSec corner and you can play the game almost totally on your own or with some friends and literally no one will care for months. You won’t even see gankers there. Make sure to pick ships that are no good PvP targets and everything is fine. And no, you DON’T need to stay a T1 miner. Using a very tanky Orca and some well-tanked Skiffs is totally fine.

Just repeat your vicimization myth. Learning how not to get ganked is so easy, everyone can do it in a day. And you don’t need to be a ā€œPvP minerā€ (whatever that is) to do so. You just don’t have to be lazy and entitled.
And you have absolutely no idea how gankers operate and why they do what they do. That makes it easy to judge someting out of sheer ignorance.

There is no issue. And never has been. It was always easy not to get ganked and the gankers always only get those who are stupid, lazy, entitled or make a couple mistakes in a row. The first step to get better is to respect the effort and professionality of those who have beaten you, trying to understand what they did and how they did it and then avoiding to be on the short end of the stick next time they might try.

You do not change EVE to the better with nerfing or removing ganking. You make it worse. You make it more safe, more convenient for those who don’t want to learn, more attractive for lazy folks who just want to grind and not caring at all for the gameplay around them. EVE already offers all the tools, zones and mechanics you need to be pretty much non-affected by ganking. Just learn how. Every monkey can do that.

If people bothered by ganking would do more than just ragequit and passively watch from the sideline and occasionally shouting back in when checking things again then it could easily been done.

CPP shown many times they follow the money so if it was hurting their finances to keep ganking possible or at least not nerfing it to obscurity then they would do it.

The delayed local fiasco was a prime example of this. If enough people shout together and willing to take action then they are even willing to remove a new feature a day or few later without hesitation. Because bottom line is king.

All people like you should do is reach out to each other, band together and talk to support why you quit, remind them occasionally, en masse.

Also talk on gaming forums and maybe even reach out to gaming press about how you feel CCP is passively permitting your in-game assets, especially when you bought them by selling PLEX that you bought for real-life money being taken away. Using the gankers as a proxy to do so they can deny any responsibility.

CCP also shown they don’t like negative press so that is also useful to pursue.

If instead of just Karen complaining on the forums such people would actually try and put effort into it they could achieve what they want. CCP can and willing to do whatever, they destroy playstyles without the slightest hesitation if that is in support of their new plans.

All they need is a reason to and ganking will be gone, either diminishing to almost zero or outright being made impossible.

Give them a reason to. :thinking:

:wink: :psyccp: :blush:

It becomes tedious to read these threads from people who don’t even play the game, but know what is wrong with it, and how to fix it.

Maybe you should play the high sec game for a couple months to get a feel for what you are talking about?

That is such a load of BS.

You completely ignored the stats I gave elsewhere, that only 0.34% of all the ship destruction across all of EVE every week is down to ganking. You completely ignored that less than 5% of all the destruction even in just highsec is down to ganking, and that most of it is down to NPCs.

Way more miners, especially noobs, lose their ships to belt rats, incursions, and other NPCs than ever do to gankers. I recall when I mined in Azerakish ( a 0.6 system ) in my Venture, I had quite tough rats show up every 15 minutes….yet I’d see gankers there maybe once a day. Several years back one of my noob alpha alts warped right into 8 rats in a belt in Oipo ( a 0.8 system ) and lost their Venture…the only time I’ve ever mentioned that loss. I don’t recall hurling my toys out of the pram and rage quitting.

I lost a battlecruiser to a ā€˜puny’ Enyo…twice. Did I rage quit ? No…I learned how to fit for dealing with kiting, and now I’d make mince of that Enyo. That is how you play EVE…your losses are there to teach you.

This is just to funny. Justin DUDE you are the bully and griefer. I hope no one falls for your Safety.net BS

There’s no such trick. At least not on a DST.

The MWD cloak trick does exist and is usable even in a DST. I assume that’s what they meant.

No arguments there.

I was being annoying, I knew what they meant. But also it’s a rather specific thing, and to leave out MWD is confusing, because there is an aling-cloak-get to max speed-decloak trick as well. And that one specifically should NOT use an MWD or AB. Just the latter is not effective on a DST.

Never heard of such a trick without MWD (or AB), unless it’s about Endurances and Blackops ships which can get to warp speed while cloaked.

That is what I meant.
