That isn’t the only conversation being had here. The changes to the game I referenced weren’t even anti ganking nerfs they were proposed changes by shipwreck jones some of whom I had questions about and wanted to know more about because they were genuinely interesting. Your like a dog with a bone though, you keep jumping on comments I make that have nothing to do with anti ganking and trying to somehow make them about anti ganking. I’m not quite sure why you are so obsessed with me. ---

As far as I’m concerned yes, I’ve said it plenty of times before ganking doesn’t need a nerf. Does that mean you are going to stop talking at me now? ---

> [@Geminus\_Duolphus](#): > > I think I got tarred with that brush because I said I was anti salt mining. But the whole of Eve is ultimately salt mining. The entire ecosystem has at its pinnacle one ship bashing another. That is the end product of all the mining, hauling, etc. A kill. Without kills the entire economy of Eve is a waste of time. ---

Ok so to clarify. I’m not talking about smack talk and I’m not talking about people getting upset because they lost ships. Both things are pretty natural. I’m talking about the element of the community that looks out for those reactions and instead of ignoring the people that are losing their cool in chat, they wind them up into a frothing mess. ---

Because I’m not pro someone’s emergent play style being nerfed. Also because it’s been a fairly interesting and entertaining thread in parts. ---

At the end of the day someone losing a Procurer is losing 60p worth of ship. Barely the cost of the froth on a pint of beer. Not worth going into cardiac arrest over. ---

Ganking is balanced, so these people have no reason to be upset. ---

Absolutely so when someone is getting into a frothing mess over it there is probably something deeper wrong with them and they aren’t they person to make sport over. ---

I’ve seen it happen in both Hek local and langhessi (spelling?) local while you’ve been in system. Yes it does happen and it’s just kinda sad to see. ---

Aiko’s bunch are pirates, with a whole pirate lore that includes a despising of miners. So _of course_ they mock, demand people buy mining permits, etc. That is who they are playing in the game. I’ve been in the ‘Why Was I Ganked ?’ channel for some time and it is generally low level making sport…usually with more emphasis on crap fits. Its usually a small portion of the gankees that are foul mouthed and abusive. ---

No I don’t save chat logs. I can tell you how the conversation went. Someone asked for help with Dagan. Someone got ganked in the system. Someone else in system said they hoped you hadn’t ganked the person asking for help with Dagan. Someone said “he got an escalation” then this dude started getting super salty in chat and people piled on top of him winding him up. I actually reported the guy getting wound up because he said something that was not ok. However I couldn’t help but feel a little bad for him because people were obviously making sport of his public melt down at the same time.
