CCP is correct in that ganking is pretty balanced at this point. The tanks of the procurer and skiff were reduced and the other what I called the tankless four were improved. At this point they can be easily ganked if the miner makes no effort to fit a tank, and that is fine.
With the removal of bumping, freighter ganking is balanced, with the exception that the mass fleets of Catalysts is too cheap as per the points raised in here, because it makes the maximum amount that you can carry before you become a viable target too low.
DST is balanced, because MWD/Cloak trick, needs gankers to have that initial de-cloaker, they can do this but very few do. People who do not take care and who do not use this trick will get ganked and this is good balance.
BR’s are balanced because they can be got leaving the hubs, though Jita is difficult now.
T1 haulers can be tanked nicely but are a very exposed ganking target.
So overall I think that the ganking game is pretty much well balanced at this point.
What needs looking at is the consequences to push player interaction, as I pointed out the change to RR really caused an issue for AG fleets, because we are now unable to rep anyone who fires on the gankers, that is the number one issue.
Another is that the gankers can sit tethered and we cannot do anything to them. Previously some gankers with a kill right would be in space aligned so we could probe them and kill them, now they sit on structures immune.
A ganker can scoop the loot through a DST using frigates or noob ships for no consequences.
A ganker can freely use NPC stations, if they were not allowed to dock below a certain security level and had to use structures, a whole new counter-play would be possible.
I have detailed my thoughts on this clearly, so can you do better than this as a response.
You make a statement like that, seriously?
Rebalancing on the interaction is needed, there are very few people doing AG, and there is a very good reason for that.
Not to Gerard directly after his little off topic bullshite, but I also decided to sleep on the reply because I had some wine and wanted to be precise in my reply. Does this answer the question.
And what I wrote is what I have posted many times in the recent past on this subject, attentive people will know, but as most gankers only read what they want to read and go off on wild tangents they think that I want to end ganking and shout that all the time, so you know, it gets silly.
