Nerf Ganking Megathread

I’d like to address the court of Jessie as well and present myself as exhibit B.

The constant dangers of being ganked at anytime is what keeps me going in this game. Knowing that I’m not truly safe. And in fact, I have been ganked. By the Honey Brights. They scanned me down when I was sitting in a safe spot in high sec (and I was being lazy and not pinging my d-scanner like a good boy) and the next thing I know, two Cats pop in and blap my jackdaw.

I laughed so hard!

Then I went after them. I noticed a little venture sitting in a belt all by itself. And I thought to myself. “Hey, that ship is going to get it.” So first I got into an astero, and warped cloaked to the vent. I BM’ed it. Then went back swapped into a hecate, got into a new safe spot, turned my d-scanner to 5 degrees aimed it at the structure the Honey Brights where mooching off of and the moment their coercer vanished, I warped to the venture. Because I was closer, I landed first, and because they were flashy red, I blapped them! And before the vent popped too! Though, that vent pilot had no idea this ever happened and his little venty was saved. Oh well.

See, this game is great. All it takes is some creativity, a bit of planning and weeee!

Unfortunately, people like Jessie don’t care much for creative gameplay and want it to die, so it can be safe and secure and utterly boring.

Yes ! Hammer. Nail. Head.

I love the fact that there is danger everywhere in Eve. How boring it would be to haul 120m ISK worth of ammo, cap boosters, a 32m ISK Heavy Entropic Disintegrator, etc, etc, from trade hub to mission base with zero risk. I loved the excitement of scouting the route, seeing that I was being followed, docking earlier than expected in a safer system, fooling the gankers into thinking I’d logged off, then returning and carrying on the trip…with a ‘phew !’ at the end.

In the Jesse W James Teletubbie Carebear Eve…there would be none of that excitement. He talks about Eve dying…he’d be the one who killed it off !

“copy-pasting the same gameplay over and over again, gameplay you in no way had any part in creating”

Which makes ganking and industry/pve/fleet warfare etc etc etc the same.

No you don’t. End of. And I could not give a damn what you consider true or not as you have long demonstrated that your opinion on anything is worthless.

Kindly just stop responding to my posts…as I have zero desire to read any more of the codswallop you post or any desire to wade through 700 ’ view hidden reply’.

You weren’t around the forums for the Cilly days. If you were, you wouldn’t have made such a ridiculous statement. Cilly was the caterpillar railing in the forums about how they were a newb and ganking was unfair. They blossomed into the beautiful butterfly that is Altara.

All of that, precisely from forum history.

So why use it as a point if it is the same? Theres no moral or skill superiority if its all the same.

Again I ask…who the hell are you that you know more about my history and motivation than I do ?

You are basically trolling when you have to reach such absurd depths of silliness.

Did you even read what I wrote?

It was an adventure in anti-ganking using on the fly info, setting up a trap to take out a ganker that I knew was going to be a target (as it was the only one)

But obviously you didn’t because your absolute disdain and your preconceived notion that someone who does occasionally gank, could, or would do anything else.

Hey….I’m not the one who needed to be in a fleet of 96 people in order to bash a Thorax !

It makes me sad, that you’re so bitter and sad yourself.

Just because you think it’s mediocre doesn’t mean I have to. It was a lot of fun. As for the copy paste thing, no idea what that means. I’m pretty sure it’s something you made up to justify your sads.

I wasnt following the conversation sorry as I dont read what “Jessie” says.

Why so sad as to rain on someone’s parade and creativity?

If you were an expert in all things creative I might be a bit concerned about my creativity. But since you are not, I’m curious as to why you’re trying to pass yourself off as an expert.

It wasn’t sudden. I was always conflicted by the fact that I had been ganked ( boo hoo…poor me ) yet I enjoyed the cat and mouse of it and the danger. It’s never been a clear-cut for or against thing, but rather a precarious knife edge of sentiments…but with the one over-arching realisation that ganking is essential to highsec regardless of how I personally felt. That is more the reality of it…and why I defend highsec ganking.

That’s why i haven’t played it in years. It gets boring quickly. I won elite when I got the federal corvette and the engineering grind.

That’s very sad. :frowning:

That you expect other people to fullfill your sense of wonder, awe and creativity,

Maybe one day, you’ll find happiness in a sunset, of a drop of rain, or some chalk scribbles done by a five year old on a sidewalk.

But until then, keep being sad on the forums. I’m okay with it. If it helps you.

Cool, thanks for sharing that.

This is how UO died. With a whimper because people gutted it cause they couldn’t handle LOL.

Then all the interesting stories died because there was no risk.

Nope, I can confirm. Considering I was here for her whole posting history, mostly arguing with her :smiley:

My boy, you’re the only proven liar on these forums LOL.

So there is counterplay for ganking. Thank you for confirming again :smiley: Also uh, you are never truly safe and can always get gotten eventually LOL.

ROFL. Yea bruv. Do that. Thru Uedama :smiley:

Um. So you admit you don’t know but you’re sure that she is lying because? My guy, do you even think before you type LOL. I get you’re still emotional from yesterday, dost thou need a hug or

Wut. How could you know her history is false? You can easily look back thru her post history LOL. Her story checks out because I was there for all of it :smiley: So were other people here LOL.

Huh. She’s told you to stop but you don’t want to. Almost like you’re doing something that rhymes with reef. Like when you made a throwaway account and stalked her in game :smiley:

Actually this opinion, not fact :smiley:

This paragraph doesn’t even make sense LOL. Gosh. You’re so desperate and angry and just icky. I feel for you bro. Truly. Like for real.

Chip truth. I was one of the ones always arguing with her :smiley:

Nope. Cause then you would have known :smiley:

She talked about it in the very beginning, hence why she was very anti gank. She used to spout a lot of the same drivel you do actually.

Luckily, she hath seen the light :smiley:

True story :smiley:

Apparently once we gank someone, we have to do that 24/7 in EVE and can’t do anything else according to him ROFL.

Where is the lie? Her claim has already been supported by people. My guy, again you’re just self destructing ROFL. You pick the weirdest hills to die on.

Its cause he hates when people actually enjoy EVE. Sadly EVE has ROFLcoptered him into the ground.

Mm it was pretty creative :smiley:

Truth. Things are worth more when you can lose them.

Oh. So you admit you knew her views changed and were just trolling. Got it :smiley:

Uh she responded just like she does to you ROFL.

Bro, we ain’t training zealots out here. We playing an open world PvP game LOL. It ain’t being radical. Its understanding the game you’re playing.

For real bro. Like I truly wonder about him sometimes.

Oh do give over. That’s neat coming from someone who can call a person a ‘coward’ and a ‘liar’ for no reason whatever. Maybe your rabid campaign against bullying should start with a look in the mirror.
