Hi-sec ganking must be addressed, it has been making more people stop playing EVE more than anything in the history of gaming, Also helps us retain new players, Don’t get me wrong yes ganking is ok but when your -10 you shouldn’t be able to activate a gate .5 or higher, they should have to grind sec status back up to enter to gank, for one it’s against the lore and police wouldn’t allow a -10 through a gate. they should have to work a bit. And breacher pods in hi-sec killing freighters is just bad, it should take 15-ish battleships to take out a freighter not one breacher and 2 destroyers. EVE has lost 100’s of thousands if not millions of players rage quitting to hi-sec ganking and mechanics exploiting station game ganking at dodixie with the insta dock undock games. Smartbombing should destroy the ship activating the smart bomb, like seriously how does it not take any damage if your detonating a bomb on your own ship.. very dumb mechanic remove smart bombs all together or rework them. Have a NPC mercenary miners can hire for hi-sec mining that sit next to them in fields with concord like ability’s, again to retain new players and cut down on rage quitting. Catering to greifers has cost many games population to vanish, catering to a handful of people at the cost of 100’s of thousands of lost subs is just insanity, Doing this just killed Dune awakening and has been slaughtering EVE’s player base for decades. ---

Pure bullsh!t. How can highsec ganking be a problem when you can make yourself 100% immune to it by flying like you have a fuc¢king brain in your head? ---
