Kill mail removed from certain cases

Here is a forum post that talks about rookie grief, or grieving rookies.
Now, it is not exactly like my idea, but it is in the same ballpark.

High sec ganking has been a thing since day 1, for 18 years now. And yet here we still are. It hasn’t killed off EVE yet, and won’t…

I respectfully disagree, but if you would like to draw up more examples then please do.
It was meant to be drawn long, as an abstract concept meant to quantify many scenarios of grief in Empire space.

No it hasn’t. Now suffice to say we can’t prove that except to demonstrate our emotions squandered upon googled facts. Explain the slope in my picture. Thanks for the bump.

Here is a forum post calling out for help regarding ganking being out of control. It is similar to my post, but we are not in the same ballpark.

My personal theory about the declining login count is that graduation happened almost two months ago and the students that would otherwise be playing Eve are finding jobs instead.

Yes, or massive heatwaves preventing gear from being powered on, or relaxation of pandemic restrictions, so people are finally getting to go outside.

In both cases they are just words on the page, with no justification other than an “I think, therefore it must be”. Where is the actual argument, backed by something we can all see? Where’s the collection and analysis of any data whatsoever? Where is anything that shows that what you think is actually the case?

I am not going to defend the other post owner, but what I can say for the both of us is that
it is quite simple, anyone that has played EVE for long enough knows that this is an issue.

I’ve been playing since 2004 and am yet to see anyone provide an argument supported by anything other than “I think”.

It boils down to nothing more than opinion; which is no better than the counter position that there is no issue. In the absence of an evidence based argument, arguing from a position of authority that you somehow have secret knowledge as a veteran, is ridiculous, because it’s easy to show other veterans that don’t agree with you.

Surely you’ve got something better then that?

Why do you think it would reduce grief? Do you think ganking happens because of kill mails?

You expect anyone to fund a research team to dive into kill boards and dig up evidence. The only evidence needed is your obvious investment in countering my posted idea.
Good day sir.

  1. Reduces the number of kills.
  2. Not not all of them.

Why would it reduce the number of kills?

People kill ships to kill ships. Either because they enjoy blowing up ships, because they want to kill for profit, want to kill to practice killing for profit, want to kill because nothing profitable passed by or just want to make high sec a more dangerous place.

Why do you think less ganking would happen when kill mails are removed?

Next, why do you think the player base is boosted when kill mails are removed? Why do you think the player base is boosted when less ganking happens?

So many assumptions…

  1. lack of proof
  2. lack of proof to show off
  3. not all the kill mails are being removed in my post suggestion.
  4. less grief and rage quitting

So, you think newbies are rage quitting because there is a record of them being killed? That’s all this is about? Just so new players won’t have their killmails posted on ZKill for everyone to see?

  1. no
  2. no
  3. no

besides I doubt rookies know about kill boards

Your suggestion won’t stop a single gank from happening. Not a single damn one…

It will remove proof of the action. Such proof can be used to demonstrate skills that result in acceptance into corporations and the like. It will reduce a certain kill count also which applies to the same … .
