Is Hisec ganking good for the game?

Yes

Yes

Right, because the Retriever in nullsec is engaged in INTENSE TACTICAL BATTLEFIELD MANEUVERS, while the Retriever in Highsec just sits there.

Like getting to the location of the Retreiver to start with.

Why would I waste time going 75 jumps to kill a retriever, when I can just gank a retriever where I currently am? That makes no sense.

Maybe because it is too hard for you…, hard for a lot of people too so you don’t need to feel bad about it and hide behind some wilful retort.

What’s so hard about it? There’s no CONCORD and no faction police.

Why the retriever? There is anything preventing you going after a different target, like a HAC, a marauder, freighter, rorqual?

If the situation call for it. But in a retriever I would just warp away and dock.

You have said many times that your targets were AFK. By your own assumptions the ship just sit there while the player don’t do even that much.

I kill those in Highsec. That’s where the challenge is (and also, the monnnnnney).

Your jokes are funny, I grant you that.

Because the best way to destroy your enemy’s will to fight is to destroy his means of production and, ideally, everything he is trying to defend.

I mean Rorqs would be better but they dont have those in High Sec.

Still don’t get it. Am I supposed to defend a lazy careless pilot in a retriever?

Ohhhh helll no.

F those guys. If they cared theyd not be putting themselves in that position.

They dont care until they perceive it as ā€œunfairā€ on them that someone decided to show them what being complacent does.

So, gankingin HS is good for the game because there are ā€œcountersā€?
I accept the concept of counter as avoidance with whatever methods for this particular and isolated question.
I’m interested on knowing where the logic stands.
If there are counters and anyone can apply them, why the gank prevails?
For the case, could it be:"…ganking prevails and should endure because there are below average pilots…" --those that do not knoe all the counters or don’t put them in practice–

Disclaimer… this question is just an isolated instance. Does not mean I’ve changed my mind and in no way, represent any relation with whatever anytime. Past, future or imagined. :sunglasses:

And therefore, ā€œā€¦ below avg pilots deserve to die in a gank in HSā€¦ā€

I suppose this was more elite. Usually I just kill Ventures with an Atron, but it’s definitely harder to kill them with a Kikimora and no CONCORD.

The fact there is a counter is a separate issue in my mind as to whether it’s good for the game.

In my head the whole game runs on destruction, the more things are being destroyed the more they are worth.

Ganking is destruction therefore it is good.

I agree. My point is also that ganking is good for the game. A necessary evil, a guilty pleasure… call it anyway. But is HS ganking the best scenario in context of pilots’ experience, knowledge, number of friends… ?

Link to cyno you ganked in highsec. I will wait.

What are you even talking about?

Oh, right, you are the dummy from yesterday who told everyone that you shouldn’t be taken seriously. I remember you.

If I accept your ā€œargumentsā€ the conclusion is:

cyno alts are the true elite of Eve

No, Aiko… I am the ā€œdummyā€ that said a conversation with you shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Amusingly, you don’t notice the difference.
