Why would I grief my own alliance?
If I am engaged in EULA breaking griefing…
…why doesn’t CCP ban me?

Taking a cue from . . . ex-CSM member Mike Azariah, GMs will be traveling to each career agent system to hand out fully fitted tech 1 frigates to new players in need! –source
They could give out fitted ships as a daily reward? Oh the outcry from the industrialists would be deafening. (I hope) Yes, I could be replaced but not by an automated system (not yet, anyways but every day AI gets closer)

That really ought to be the closing words of this thread. After 7380 posts its all that needed saying.

That is utter codswallop.
The mechanics and methods to easily avoid being ganked are there in the game. But time and again I see people with appallingly fitted ships, or failing to use Local or D-Scan, or even a large percent who even admit being AFK !
People are just too lazy to use scouts to survey the route. They don’t have gankers on ‘bad standing’ so are oblivious when half a dozen enter the system. They mine in bad positions, rather than on the side oposite the landing point. They don’t have Overview already on the escape station…so all they have to to is hit ‘D’ and they warp off. And so on.
And people like you convert this uselessness into gankers somehow having overwhelming balance on their side. It is just nonsense.

Thank you for your opinion. We disagree.
Go actually learn how to play the game, learn the mechanics and counter-mechanics and then come back.

You’re 100% right. Antiganking is OP and needs to be nerfed. It’s not fair that a single ship can neutralize multiple enemy vessels.
You’re still talking utter codswallop. The counterplay to ganking is not being ganked. It is entirely measures an individual can take. It has nothing to do with AG…which largely consists of groups of others trying to ‘help’ those who can’t be bothered helping themselves.
Actually I’ve known about Concord pulling for months. It was more the bizarre way killboard presented it, with the guy podding his victim after Concord destroyed his Catalyst, that confused the issue.
Oh for God’s sake. Your arguments just go from the absurd to the ridiculous.
AG implies you need others in order to avoid being ganked. You don’t. You don’t seem to have a clue what AG actually is. It is groups of people going round trying to mess up gank attempts. The last thing I’d do is rely on AG people to save me !
The counterplay to ganking does not require others. It consists of fitting your ship properly, staying alert, putting gankers on ‘bad standing’, and so on. It is why I have never been ganked when mining. It is active counterplay. Not just when mining, but in the scouting and route travelled routine I use when transferring stuff…a very clever routine I tell no-one.
You just don’t want to admit that people can avoid being ganked, and can do so quite easily, as that then demolishes your entire Telletubbie Carebear argument.

Antigankers tend to be emotional creatures not prone to logic or consistent thought.

Oh God…here we go with your stupid resort to dictionary semanticism again. Gonna spend another 5 billion posts arguing your definition of ‘counterplay’ is the only one, like you have previously done with ‘winning’ and ‘advantage’ ?
Counterplay is anything a person does to avoid being blown up. It is perfectly valid to argue that adding tank to one’s ship is counterplay to ganking. It is perfectly valid to argue that staying alert and using Local and dscan is counterplay to ganking. And it is perfectly valid to argue that adding gankers to bad standing, and a whole host of other such measures, are counterplay to ganking. And yes…that might even include staying in dock till the gankers have gone !

So why does antiganking even need to exist??
Maybe if they buffed ganking, then gankers would have the ability to attack veterans, and this would give antigankers more opportunities for content?
Ganking is Eve Online in its purest form.
Ganking requires and rewards:
Coordination
Organization
Planning
Efficiency
Intelligence
It is PvP with spreadsheets. Anyone who tries to suggest that ganking isn’t “real” PvP has no idea what the hell they’re taking about.

They did not actually. Ganking isn’t griefing.
Sorry bruv. Cry moar tho 
Its lovely
LOL why them? Why not you? You said you believe in a player driven universe right? Why cry to daddy CCP? Why not AG yourself or educate the noobs? ROFL.
But then you’d actually have to play huh?
Why would gankers do AG anyways? They are ganks brosef? They aren’t concerned about dying to ganking LOL.
I challenge you to AG You’re concerned about ganking. Do something about it
But he is tho
What’s funny is people never know how good things are until their gone.
No, I already posted a guide
AGing is actually easy, IF you aren’t terribad at the game.
The thing is, most people who cry about ganking are also bad at PvP. It tends to correlate
Bro you don’t even know how to play
Actually if peeps followed opsec, AGing would be a lot easier LOL.
You can’t logi someone with no tank
Opsec is the best way to not get ganked.
But you said veterans can avoid being ganked easily while unodocked. So how do they do that?
Only cause most AGers don’t know how to AG
How they able to avoid ganks with ease if ganking is so unbalanced and easy to do?
Bro you been doing exactly that in both threads. Whew chile the gas lighting. I pity the people in your life bruv
You know who is alt is right? You’ve talked with him before too
