Nerf Ganking Megathread

@Arsia_Elkin

Both sides utilized it to kill the other at times and there was certainly opportunistic third parties. But that’s just something to consider and know how to react to when it happens. There are steps to take to keep yourself safer no matter what you’re doing in every area of space, and high sec is no different. Stuff needs to explode for the Eve economy to persist, but if you’re careful, it doesn’t need to be your stuff too much of the time.

Chip truth

What has to happen in the NPE is actually teaching peeps how to avoid being ganked. It may still happen, but if you keep your wits about you, you’ll be good for the most part.

@Wadiest_Yong

Amarr space doesn’t have particular issues or high incidences of rookie kills. Minmatar space probably similar.

There was one system in Amarr that burns on the reg, unsure if it still does.

For Min, Hek has ganking sometimes. Aufay in Gal also gets nuts sometimes.

@Lucas_Kell

Except that CCP stated in this fanfest that ganking new players increase new player churn rates.

They said griefing bruv. Not ganking

@Lucas_Kell

For the most part it is. It’s the gankers vs the concord mechanics.

ROFL. So embarassing. I cannot even imagine why you think this line of reasoning will work. If peeps fitted a proper tank, they’d stand a much better chance of surviving LOL.

@Lucas_Kell

Most people do know it’s easy to stay safe, and that’s part of the problem. Ganking disproportionately affects new players because anyone who isn’t a new player is far more able to stay safe.

So teach them

Or yennoe, they could Google an almost 20 year old game to learn some stuff. Amazing

@Katya_Itzimaru

You’re perpetrating it right now by equating people shooting each other for fun in a PVP video game with griefing.

What boggles my mind is people play EVE but don’t like it LOL.

You chose to play an open world PvP game. Like what the quafe?
