Nerf Ganking Megathread

Some of the best pvpers in the game have almost no killboard. They win by evading pvp and being extremely hard to catch.

Ramona fits in that groove. More of a mouse than a cat, but a mouse that outsmarts most people.

May be so but sweeping un backed up accusations tend to attract the same in return.

:slight_smile:

Hate to tell you this bub but haulers dont have killboards worth a damn.

You still be krabbin.

Try again.

Sure and every ‘alt’ on here is a successful hauler or miner that just happened to not lose a single ship in two years.

Keep fighting those forum wars.

My hauler alt doesn’t exist.

Lol Im no alt

But you gave literally admitted to krabbin

Show me we’re I say I run rogue analysis beacons?

I pvp in nul and support that with combat sites in nul. Krabbing would imply I only earn isk and never participate in pvp. Scuttling back into stations whenever a neut arrives.

You know what else keeps you from having any kind of pvp footprint. Ship spinning.

Show me where I said you did?

See we arent talking about what I do or not do, we are talking about the fact you dont gank.

Again, in a second thread, you seem to have a problem with basic definitions and seem to want to argue something thats already widely accepted.

Then, when you start to lose, you lash out, accusing nobodies on the thread of lying about what they do in game, as if any of us have anything to hide.

Whats the matter, not mine enough rocks this morning?

Excuse my directness above, but these forums with the all out attack mode that these people use and what you are being subject to now do tend to make one a little quick to respond to get a point home.

That question, I was seeing it based on my desire to see AG be a viable playstyle again, so please excuse my reply if it was a bit terse.

CCP has a duty to get their mechanics and balance right so people do not see that their mechanics or balancing is at fault, they should not be seen to take the side of on group or other, but we all know that they fall from that lofty ideal at times. The Freighter wreck EHP was one and they realised they had been had by the person (Endie CEO of the lead ganker corp at the time who took over the wreck EHP issue) who was pushing for an increase in wreck EHP. which is why they then applied the DCU EHP buff to freighters to balance that. You could say that us losing the ability to one shot a wreck in cheap destroyers was balanced by the extra EHP for our repping fleets, I don’t.

With that incident in mind I can only say that I hope that what you suggested is the case, but past experience indicates it is more problematic… Sorry if I came over a bit terse, and good luck with the all out attacks you are receiving. o7

Now I’m a miner?

I see you mention this other thread so your attempt to paint me as someone who doesn’t pvp is to do with a level of butt hurt you garnered in that other thread.

Classic forum warrior.

(Dracula Vladimir has me blocked because I agree with him and he doesnt like it when people he doesnt like on an emotional level agree with him)

Wow what a strawman.

Where do you get these ridiculous statements?

Ganking is not the only form of PvP. Its not one you do, but its pretty obvious that you do what passes for pvp out in null.

Doesnt mean you arent a krab, or are you about to tell me all you do is null roams? You dont do ANYTHING else to earn isk in null at all?

This is the “pro-ganking guy” who happened to push back against me pushing against known alts like JJ and Geminus, in the name of “Free speech” and “marketplace of ideas”.

So long as the intellecual discussion of speech at hand remains low, on semantics, it seems.

Yeah, he decided that me agreeing with Lucas Kell about that other thing was something worth derailing that thread for again based on semantics.

Some people just dont want to get along I guess.

Does krabbing have some other defenition I’m not aware of? Are we talking at cross purposes? In my circles a Krab is someone that runs rogue analysis beacons or some kind of nul site and never pvps simply avoiding pvp and scuttling back to their tethers when anything grey or orange enters the system.

And what was “krab” used for in your circles for the 19 years before the introduction of the beacon?

The second part you chose not to quote?

So then the C.R.A.B. beacon doesn’t matter, and your continuing to bring up “capital ship skills” and the beacon and “I don’t have cap skills” is just more feigned division and diversion towards semantic games?

I must be missing something how this beacon and your lack of cap skills is relevant at all.

Because the Krab beacons are the pinnacle of earning in null sec. Minimum amount of in game effort for the maximum amount of isk.

It represents a desire to play the least amount to earn the most isk.
