Nerf Ganking Megathread

The ISD should ban him.

He is obviously trolling and rumor-mongering.

He knows that ganking is allowed gameplay.

Indeed, you want the ISDs to ban me for daring to have an opinion you disagree with then not leaving when you instruct you minions to repeatedly attack and insult me. The @ISD team absolutely should go through this thread and look at the sheer number of direct personal attacks lobbed at people who dare disagree with gankers.

And this isn’t a new thing, all the way back to the old forum this tactic of gankers attacking anyone that disagreed with them until they left the forum has persisted, using many of the same tactics you use to harass people in game.

Yes, you know that ganking is allowed gameplay. You are “rumormongering”, claiming that ganking is going to be removed. This is a violation of the forum rules. You are trolling, and asking for the removal of a core game mechanic, which the developers have repeatedly stated is allowed. This is also a violation of the forum rules.

What you are doing is no different than if I were to troll the Mining channel (and the industry forum), claiming that mining causes people to commit suicide in real life, and the developers know mining is destroying the game and mining will be removed from the game. You are deliberately spreading misinformation.

You intent here to to grief the forum users, by provoking an emotional response via repetitive attempts to misrepresent CCP’s policy on ganking.

Look at how cute he is, tagging the ISD and dry snitching :smiley:

Imagine being grown and being like this.

It is simply just chef’s kiss LOL.

Maybe he should do some ganking to relieve some stress?

I’ve cited CCPs statements, that’s not rumormongering.

Asking for a mechanic to be removed is not “trolling”.

Just as you do in game, you’re attacking people who disagree with you and then pretending you’re the victim. In reality though I’ve done my level best to keep the focus of the discussion on the mechanics of ganking and the effects of the playerbase, while your and your friends have repeatedly tried to attack and discredit me personally.

The reason you’re flipping out and calling for me to be banned now is that you’ve realised I’m not just going to run away from your attacks as the other people you have used this tactic on have done in the past.

Let me be crystal clear though, I will continue to opposed ganking and oppose harassment of players for blog content until CCP actually takes it seriously. There’s zero chance that you and your friends attacking me personally is going to change that.

I’m not ashamed of tagging ISDs to look at content that breaches the rules, particularly when the people lobbing personal attacks are trying to call for me to be banned. I’m sure there are a few times when I’ve crossed a line but that pales in comparison to the amount of times people like yourself have attacked me rather than discussed the actual topic.

Yes, you are trolling.

Asking once is one thing, but you are asking over and over.

That is trolling.

It’s not though. You only claim it’s trolling because you disagree and don’t want people to be able to put forward viewpoints you disagree with.

I disagree.

You are trolling.

Even the antigankers don’t want ganking to be removed.

There are plenty of AGs who would be happy to see ganking removed or heavy limited and plenty more people who don’t engage in AG activites who feel the same.

ISDs will be able to confim this is not the case.

There are plenty of gankers who would be happy to see mining removed or heavy limited and plenty more people who don’t engage in ganking activities who feel the same.

It sounds like trolling, because it is trolling.

And you are welcome to put forward that viewpoint and argue your case. If you did I may disagree but in responding I would respond to the ideas being presented. I wouldn’t resort to trying to attack and insult you personally to discredit the argument.

Of course you would.

You have repeatedly called me a griefer. That is a personal attack.

Who? Drop some names, lets see if they agree with you :smiley:

My guy, you already been caught out in this thread. You already admitted to deleting it LOL.

Look at you, just crying to daddy CCP to save you ROFL.

For me, it just makes me laugh.

You sitting there, typing and so afraid. Hiding behind an alt. Its delicious :smiley:

You do all the time bro :smiley: But then you delete if you get too scared after ROFL.

I’ve repeatedly called gankers who drag gankees into chats to provoke them into responding griefers for sure, but that’s not a personal attack, just a statement of my belief that behaviour like that is griefing. If I have directly insulted you - which is certainly possible in a debate like aggressive - then I apologise.

There is nothing wrong with talking to other players in a video game.

That is not griefing.

That’s not what I was describing though. That’s an oversimplification.

Yes, you are deliberately misrepresenting what I do, which is a personal attack against me. Right now, you are griefing me, by repeatedly claiming that I engage in EULA violating behaviour and insinuating I should be banned.

If you feel I have violated the EULA, then you should file a support ticket. Meanwhile, you should stop trolling this forum with false claims.

https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us

This forum is not the appropriate place for you to continually accuse another player of violating the EULA, and you should take your complaints to a support ticket, instead of harassing the ganking community with endless accusations and deliberately exaggerated claims. What you are doing is “rumormongering”.

I have, in fact, made my own support tickets in which I describe at length what I am doing, why I am doing it, how I am doing it, and where I am doing it. CCP staff have responded to me, and told me that I am not in violation of the EULA, and they even commended me on my consistent good behaviour.

If you want to propose entirely new game mechanics, this is not the appropriate forum. You can go to Player Features & Ideas. This is the “Nerf Ganking Megathread” not the “Remove Ganking and Ban the Griefers Megarant”.

I can’t believe this is a sixty-plus-year-old man.

Although to be fair, pretty much every single space-Karen I’ve ever met was a sixty-plus-year-old man. Someone needs to run a study and find out why there’s such a high correlation between this demographic and having horrible, anti-competitive viewpoints on high-intensity PvP games. :thinking:

Simply not true. I have stated the fact that gankers do in fact deliberately provoke angry responses from players and that I believe that is griefing and that CCP should cover it in the EULA.

If I post this in any other place you and your friends will come and lob attacks at me in that thread too (much like happened to the thread pointing to a streaming being harassed) and it would be merged with this one. It’s impossible to have any threads with opinions opposing ganking without gankers coming in and trolling it, forcing the thread to either be closed or merged with this one.

I’m not, so it’s understandable you can’t believe it. It’s just yet another attempt to personally attack me. I expect to see a rise in this too now that Aiko has become angry.
