> [@kage1982](#): > > FYI the topic is. “Is there a link between players (new and old) leaving the game and Suicide gankers in High sec?” There may be a link but unless I see data suggesting otherwise I would expect this niche of niche activities which hardly affects new players directly to be a very small one, and I think it is not nearly as relevant as many other factors that make new players decide to drop the game, like boredom. A more interesting question could be to wonder which has a bigger effect on new players leaving: - suicide ganks (directly) - complaints about suicide ganks which give new players a false impression they’re helpless against those ganks As an experiment we could stop talking about suicide ganks for half a year to see if this improves the player retention numbers! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/mods-please-lock-jim-s-ruined-another-one/516630)._
