Nerf Ganking Megathread

Yes, I understand the use of scouts. It leads me to believe that, even so, ‘small groups of gankers’ rarely waste their time (and that of their alts) on roaming Highsec looking for targets which might be many systems away from base and, if it’s a lone Mackinaw, hardly worth the effort?

Those scouts are better employed checking out systems known to provide content such as Mission Hubs, Ice Anomalies, etc., surely? It was only your using the term ‘stumble across’ which elicited my response.

I do not say ‘it doesn’t happen’, only that I find it unlikely to be a regular occurrence. I’ve no proof, of course.

I only skimmed your comment on filaments, Lucas. Apologies.

I’ve no interest in them whatsoever, but I suppose I should acquaint myself with their use. Point taken.

I can see how they would make it easier to contrive a surprise appearance in Null, countering the extensive surveillance systems in place in that region.

A flawless deduction. A shining beacon of objectivity. The perfect example of drawing a single line through a single point.

The thing with posting killboard results is that they can lead to funny questions.
For instance … how do you explain this ?

Rookie griefing ?

They might not, but I do. I have never once mined AFK. Which is the reason I have never been ganked while mining. And I fully support AFK people of any sort being ganked.

Why do you think I post the Monty Python Four Yorkshiremen sketch every time it gets raised ? The ‘good old days’ exist in every game I’ve encountered. Elder Scrolls vets argue that Morrowind was the best ever and later iterations were ‘dumbed down’. People argue that the original Half Life was the best. And so on. All rose tinted.

My guy, you know we’re playing a vidya game right?

Ah my fellow countrymen. So silly.

Whose alt is this LOL.

Sounds like sage advice. Sometimes miners get overly excited and say some truly terrible things :smiley:

Its why I am for captchas being introduced for mining to reduce the bot fleets and AFKing. Sadly it’ll never happen tho.

ROFL. How naive. Cute :smiley:

There isn’t. But Lucas doesn’t play so

Mmm not really. But again most of ya’ll don’t play so

How do you know he’s actually a new player? I can start an alpha today LOL. I’ve been playing EVE for years :smiley:

Oh but they’ll try :smiley:

ROFL. I got some land to sell you in Florida if that’s the case :smiley:

Cept they aren’t griefers :smiley: And it is a legitimate point. With the existence of Alpha accounts, I’d would say the amount of true newbros is very low.

Thats what someone who doesnt want Hilmar to have a third Range Rover would say.

He only has three?

Has he thought about not being a poor?

You cant possibly think he only has two motor vehicles?

Those are his “go into town” Range Rovers.

The jag, the merc and the Vantage are for sunday drives

Why is he slumming it with motor vehicles?

Real rich people use their helicopters.

Iceland, duh

When its not volcanic, its icy.

Hence he goes out of town on his WiGE.

Also, helicopters are technically motor vehicles. Unlike fusion powered Swedish WiGEs.

Fine. Why is he slumming it with ground transportation? Real rich people use their helicopters.

Plus, like helicopters don’t work in Iceland?

And fusion power? Are you insane? They use geothermal there. Much more volcanic.

I did reference that specifically.

I dont think even the brainiest of vikings have worked out how to turn a volcano into personal transportation, but I look forward to the results, esp. in Airship and cruiseliner technology lol

You’re so picky

Okay, why is he slumming it with helicopters? Real icelandics get around in their trolling fishing boats.

But Trolls are from Norway I thought?

I thought the lived under bridges.

Right, and Norway has loads of fjords, which means loads of rivers, which means…

Lots of places to build sea oil platforms.

Which are just like bridges, correct!

(sea platforms are however, by definition, out at sea, unlike fjords and rivers which are definded by their proximity to land, but Ill not mention that, shhh)

I watched a documentary that says that a lot of the deep sea drilling platforms are built in the fjords and then towed out to sea, by trolling fishing boats.

Nope. The entire argument against P2W is that people need to ‘grind’ to make ISK. My point is that AFK people are not ‘grinding’ at all. And if people have always done AFK…then there never was a glorious time of everyone grinding away.
