Good you got something other than ganking to do for a change. Well done. Can clap on that.
It’s really fun to see people openly admitting to actively going to this new non PVP space to harass and extort new players.
I’m sure that has a negative effect on player retention.
If only such harassment or extortion was reportable eh
Oh look it is 
What joy

I’ve been playing Sim Railroads since I was last ganked. Idk.
If there is any connection. But I accept 5B donations, if I can buy back
my ship I would probably return.
Nah, it’s just some temporal bias, ya know…
We just need to propose some curative methods to have a better time in Eve…
I suspect the EVE forums being so full of raving, ranting, deluded loonies has a far greater effect.

Boredom is the common link. Ganking is way down the list…

People mostly come to games FOR pvp, not leave them because of pvp. Eve is boring because carebears make it boring and thats why people leave. Carebears eliminate competition by boring-away all others around them. I quit every few months because the game is boring when the only real options are F1 monkey or roleplay with some pve drama instead of real people. CCP has been very busy trying to replace pvp with pve. Hows this all working out for everyone? Boring?

Thats the biggest subjective statement ive ever seen.
EVE has always been boring…for many reasons…for many years. Carebears will always game with the same mentality as they always have here and all those other games. It wont change. Why are you using that one single reason to place your boredom upon.
Your boredom is your fault. Go find ways to make it more exciting.

Ganking is less than 0.5% of all the ships killed in EVE every week. And yet it is 99.5% of the ranting in the forums.
Is anyone ranting about the 50 ships a day killed by NPCs in ‘safe’ Exordium ? Why should the fact that they were killed by AI and not by another player make any difference ?

My boredom is my fault… great advice for CCP. You are 100% correct. Eve is boring and thats my fault. 100% forum knowledge.
Excuse me while I go watch all the exciting streams being made of these massive fights we keep hearing about… oh wait. The fight is so boring streamers cant stream it.
Eve players before 2016: “We hate shooting buildings, We wanna shoot people”
CCP: You want to shoot at more buildings? OK And you 100% want pvp to involve the other party never having any guns? OK.
Fact : Carebears are cancer. Thats the link. Walk it all back FENRIS!
Boredom is the game’s fault.
The content CCP drives us to find or quit is bad content. So, mostly people quit.
Replacing high-sec wars with Faction Warfare… We used to fight for our corporations and our members. Remember when the butterfly effect was real? Now we fight for meaningless LP and a roleplay race to pretend what we do in-game matters to NPCs. Carebears have turned a once-great game into trash. We need real people competing over real assets—shooting real people in real assets. The game is far gone, and the only people left on this forum are toxic.
I have personally tried to fund streamers to create content, but this is the reality: they just end up running events and giving away CCP skins because that is the best EVE has to offer.
CCP used to be proud of the thousand-man fleet fights they helped create. But what did we all give up so 3,000 people could fight once a year? We gave up all other fights that matter to anyone but the two guys in charge.
And what does the community actually get from those rare, massive fleet fights? A great video from Warlock? True. But how many of you would rather matter and be fighting for your own piece of space?
Player-driven content and CCP being a neutral party that promotes competition and is anti-monopoly is our fix. Not NPCs and losers wanting more rules to protect them from competition.
Any btw… Eve is NOT boring. Its the most heart pumping excitement on the internet if you are in a tight fight with your boys. Whats boring is to repeat activities daily that matter to no one including just barely yourself.

To be clear, the link between people leaving and ganking is due to the elimination of all other forms of PVP in Highsec. This has made everyone I know leave over the past 15 years. It is literally the removal of the PVP playstyle for anything but blobs and buildings. Continuing to attack PVP will result in the same failures.
FC is doing well …removing nullifies and coalition ansiblex but think about highsec.

All still there though. Who’s taken them away ?
You’ve asked a question, you’ve got the answer. 
I asked in reply to Minas post.
You reply fails to stick to the context.
