If you go in with strong believes like ‘you are destroying the game by making players quit!!’-narrative, it disqualifies you when you clearly state in just one sentence that you have zero idea about ganking. People will rightfully laugh at someone making claims like that, and in turn they will angrily huff how the mean gankers derail every discussion with personal attacks. Please go and try to gank something. Even if it is only on paper or the test server. See about the various mechanics involved, what is neede on your end. You will find it’s not as easy as you make it out and I have seen ‘vets’ fail on very simple things like concord mechanics, gate guns or just a moving venture with a prop mod on. ---

Of those who succeed, 90% of the rest are unable to gank anything else. Of those who succeed at that, 90% of the remainder are unable to gank sustainably without going bankrupt. ---

I doubt that new player going to start with a 2-3 accounts to grab the loot after ganking. So with one account is there no reason to gank… ---
