Calm down ganker.
I really don’t see anything untoward at all. And I say that as someone who Aiko and her crew would gank in a split second with no hesitation. And Aiko knows that my response to any ‘riling’ would be to just laugh it off…in fact probably to join in as nobody laughs at me better than I do. I would not be frothing at the mouth or in need of PTSD therapy. When I compensated a gank victim a week or so ago…Aiko considered it to mean I had myself effectively been ganked. Actually a fair point, and clearly designed to rile, but again I just laughed it off.
A Venture is literally 2 pence worth of space pixels. Even the Ferox and Vedmak I lost recently are barely the cost of half a pint of beer. So I’m not gonna get into a froth over losing them…and neither should anyone else over losing their ships…riled or otherwise.
And really…that should be the end of the Nerf Ganking Megathread, as its all that needs saying.

It’s really not though, and you know this.
There’s a solid correlation between people that are easy and lucrative gank targets in high sec and players that cannot handle adversity and are in over their head – and just need any sort of light in-game-pressure to give light to their terrible personality handling that negative event (it doesn’t need to be a gank event – fat-fingering a market order and losing millions, accidentally repackaging a ship with expensive T2 rigs, losing a blingy ship in an abyssal run, etc – you can search the forum history and see people complaining/cursing/swearing to CCP about how they’re gonna stomp out and quit “this terrible game” over these exact topics). That correlation is not caused by gankers.
Gankers aren’t mind-readers, contrary to your statement, they don’t actually go out scanning players’ minds to pick on select people.

Sure, because you choose not to.
I find that hard to believe since you’ve literally hurled barrages of insults at me simply because I disagree with your opinion. You get that right? You’ve launched personal attacks at me for simply having a different opinion to you, and yet you claim to be somehow immune to anger.
No that’s not the end of it. Whether you get angry at being ganked or not is not the point, gankers do seek to anger people and they sometimes succeed. I don’t accept that pointing out that sometimes they don’t succeed is the end of the conversation.
If that were true, why are the vast, vast, vast majority of gank victims not featured on any of these “salt mining” posts? Why do most gankees simply not respond?
You can search this thread and see gankers hurling countless personal attacks at me simply for disagreeing with them. Hell, you don’t even really need to search, just scroll up a bit.
To claim it’s somehow a trait specific to miners is nonsense, not least of which because highsec gankers are not a whole lot different from highsec miners, they both live in the safest area of space engaging in an activity that takes basically no skill and pits them almost entirely against game mechanics.
What organised gankers have done though is refine the process of provoking these angry responses in an environment they can control and record and in my book, that’s griefing.
If you venture outside the highsec farmville players no one really cares about suicide ganking, and it’s seen as fair game.
The pearl clutching people calling ganking to be nerfed or disable are just a small proportion of stunningly entitled players trying to force changes to the game to suit them that the majority don’t want or have no interest in.

No, I asked you to calm down, because you were freaking out about your isk/hr. In such cases, we ask miners to calm down, because this is just a video game and there is no need to start throwing an emotional temper tantrum about Highsec ganking.

Ah yes, I was freaking out oh so much.
If CCP allows it, then it’s not griefing.
Griefing, by definition, is an abuse of game mechanics. If an activity is allowed by the game developer, then by definition it is not griefing.

Yeah, that’s not how it works. CCP allows theft, it doesn’t stop being theft.
No, griefing by definition is deliberately causing people grief.

So far in my ganking experience, its cause they are AFK
I mean you do it all the time too, but then you go back and delete them
If it takes no skill, why don’t more people do it? Also I love how you try to push this false narrative again. Ganking is PvP bruv No amount of gymnastic semantics will change that LOL.
This be true and leads be to believe Lucas Kell isn’t actually a null bear, but a high bear
You kinda were brosef. It was obvious you were agitated
If its allowed, how is it theft?
But that “grief” is very subjective
The anti-ganking community is deliberately causing the far larger PVP community in EVE grief by advocating for gameplay changes the majority of players don’t want. Stop griefing lmao.
Anything based on subjective personal opinion is obviously of less substance than a fart in a thunderstorm.

What’s funny is he isn’t even an AG cause he can’t be bothered to actually back his forum posting with game play
But he allegedly has all these mysterious gank alts…
Because it’s also incredibly boring, there’s no challenge and most people get bored if they are not challenged. I know you’ve gone and ganked a couple of people in some weird attempt to spite me but I guarantee you won’t do it much and you certainly won’t keep it up. You’ll get bored, hell, you may have already got bored of it.
I’m a K-Space bear actually.
Yes, it does. It’s not actually theft.
Your local police will not prosecute this.
By that definition I was ‘griefed’ when a 1100 DPS Mega Laser Praxis psychopathically warp scrammed me ( I mean what a dastardly griefing thing to do ) in a 0.3 system and destroyed my Gnosis. I mean…I never invited the conflict. I was just trundling along minding my own business and this nasty Praxis owner decided to vent their frustration with life on me. CCP should ban this sort of thing !
Taking something that does not belong to you is not theft?
If they were deliberately trying to upset you and not just attack your character then sure.
How is it boring? Its always fun to blap people.
Also who ever said I would gank 24/7?
The thing I like about EVE, is that it is a sandbox. I can go from ganking some people and teaching them to EVE, to roaming low, to flying an atron to Hek to fight a nestor that sadly never undocked 
I think what you don’t understand is I deeply enjoy the game. And it rankles you in your soul
You see Aiko loving the game, enjoying the game. Crafting her own story and living it.
And it burns you, because you don’t have the same. You are unable to be the hero of your own story, and that is very sad bruv.
That would require you to actually play

It’s not theft when I have consent to take the item.
Every player who logs into the game consents to this gameplay.
Legally, the ‘items’ belong to CCP, and I have their explicit permission.
It is not theft.

But I could claim my character is upset by any loss, anywhere. Highsec, lowsec, nullsec, wh…clearly the only reason anyone would want to destroy my ship is to grief me. If I feel griefed…that must be the case…by your definition of griefed.
All PvP should thus henceforth be removed from Eve, in case anyone feels upset.
