Thank you, Mr Moliko, for your clarification.

You may with profit consider modifying and qualifying your assertion that there is ‘Zero risk to the ganker’, in light of the Court’s findings, so that a truthful and consistent view is presented to the Community, of which you remain a valued part.

Pulling concord before an attack is **not** an exploit, and that is officially stated by CCP.

As to the “no risk for gankers” gas you vent: hisec gankers already accepted the LOSS of a ship that comes with the RISK of attacking in hisec. Accepting loss doesn’t mean the risk evaporated, but that the risk becomes reality.

> [@Most\_Moliko](#):

Because Avatars don’t get ganked in hisec. Odd, isn’t it. They can’t even enter hisec, lmao.

You’re a clueless ■■■■ stirrer. Do you honestly think that burning down two entire regions worth of structures except the final constellation, the loss of trillions of ISK on both sides was _ **consensual** _ ? Not to mention the **risk** for the existence of an alliance/coalition ? Clueless is even too polite a word.

Or are you going to try to convince people what according to Lucas Kell “consensual” should mean ?

Well well. Look at that. You turn on the very people who tried to have a decent dialogue. Scipio in particular has gone out of his way to get numbers, the same numbers you downloaded, but better organized (and better skilled to query the dataset too ?). You were even communicating directly with him. Kelly no like the numbers ? Kelly attacks the person who retrieved the numbers ! Pathetic.

Wrong. The data is indisputable. Interpretation can always be disputed where it isn’t just a straight list of the raw data; and in a lot of cases there are sets of assumptions that would take too long to outline in a length of post that would be readable.

However, having collected, cleaned, analysed and visualized multiple different sources over a long time, overwhelmingly, the same conclusions emerge.

Where they don’t suit, of course people will do whatever they can to dismiss it, because that’s easier than examining their own prejudices.

If there is evidence counter to what I present, then present it. But on the one hand claiming you’ll take CCP’s word over someone else in the forum and then in the next, dismissing CCP’s word because the results don’t align with your own opinion is exactly the same thing.

So if you want to get past hurf blurf, present some actual data that we can all take an independent look at. That’s something that’s been sorely lacking for the last decade.

More cluelessness. What the CSM wants and how CCP responds are two entirely separate things. Do you honestly believe the CSM pushed for more PI stuff in t2 blueprints, or the loss mechanic in mining, or the removal of entire belts in under half of nullsec ? Emotions aren’t great advisers, and filling up holes with hate is the easiest, cheapest solution that only adds to a bigger problem.

cant help but think this is a long winded attempt to get people out in null but for those who dont have time or enjoy being ganked nothing is ever ever ever going to get them there. people will simply just go and play something else that rewards their time played…highsec is the only playable area of the game where i know i can log in and be able to do anything i like if im not

Should we go back through posts on previous studies and statements by CCP? How flawed they are, etc.?

You can’t honestly going to say you haven’t done that. You always do it when they present something that doesn’t align with your existing view.

Just for once it would be great to see someone who comes claiming things, to actually have some evidence for what they claim. You’ve never had it; and still conveniently skip past doing so. Of course.

You mean ganking in hisec ? I remember Hulkageddon. I remember Burn Jita. That was more than a decade ago. Notoriety comes from fear. The monster under the bed is still able to do its thing long after it’s gone, it seems. It’s a pity that a thing like Hulkageddon is no longer possible, let alone the Orcageddon it would require in these days of Orca/Hulk locust swarms. It would have been good for the game’s economy, and the killboards, and the spirit. It might even trigger some in-game response. But no, crying to daddy CCP is so much easier, isn’t it.

You can’t handle it that there are top players, who are able to run huge groups, organize a viable structure, and play the way they want in the sandbox and make their presence felt in a eat-or-be-eaten virtual world setting. Be it via combat, or via attempts to influence trade, that is the reality in this game. Well boohoohoo. Better yet, wizen up.

Ganking in hisec has zero impact unless psychologically on the microscopically small group that throws tantrums and fail to look at what they themselves are doing, or rather _not_ doing. Special brand of salt, that one.

As expected you couldn’t answer that question, which was about _individuals_, and not blocs.

Your biggest mistake is that you take a position of wanting to play an open sandbox MMO as a solo player. I don’t care how many accounts you run, you’re still a solo player. Organized players will _always_ have the upper hand on you, and you owe that to your choices. Live with it.

So you admit you have done it? That would be something at least (and CCP have presented far more than one study that others have taken way out of conext).

> [@Lucas\_Kell](#):
>
> But you know as well as I do that this data is not available. The only difference is that you then present some cobbled together data alongside statements about what it proves.

You claimed multiple times that its fact. When asked to present the data you went off and presented some screenshots of pulling data, but so far of course, no signs of any of it.

Just the typical, all talk and no actual action.

So no, not the only thing different. Every bit of data I present, people can go an independently obtain, analyse and confirm the details of.

Most of what you write is backed by vapourware. Nothing anyone can check to see if it actually has merit.

Overwhelmingly, when I analyse data to keep my own hauling operations safe, the hysteria and claims about the risk of being ganked don’t stack up to what the data shows for the ships groups I am interested in, nor do their generalized statements about the dangers of highsec. People just don’t validate what they claim, they just think it must be true because it seems logical to them.
