Cilla, you’re working this whole thing rather hard. I’m more convinced now that what you’re railing against is a form of bullying - as you see it.
Something like - ‘The poor little noobs have a hard enough time as it is - leave them alone!’ Does that capture it?
Of course, you pad out your view by drawing our attention to the (unsupported) view that ganking new players is/must be driving them away from the game.
These new players choose to play a game in which they run the risk of being blapped, perhaps early in their virtual lives. But get this - Capsuleers are immortal! With time and effort, those new players can build their stock back up, and go on to do great things in the game.
Whether the game should be as it is can be discussed in the Thread you’re clearly anxious to initiate, with all the dialectical niceties observed.
Unlike the other Thread title (Is HIghsec Ganking Good for the Game?), this one does not invite a moral/ethical position, most of it being taken up with discussion of game mechanics, counters and, occasionally, good-natured banter.
