I call BS on that.  
Source? You have none! You just throw statements to benefit your point.

BS. And you know it.

Keep fishing, you’ll eventually pull out an old shoe.

Truest thing you ever posted.

BS.

Hahaha!! Do you even play EVE?

BS. And you know it.

Yaddy-yadda… Don’t you guys ever get tired of writing the same old sh- ?

> [@Scoots\_Choco](#):
>
> The risk that’s involved is already one of the highest, the guaranteed loss of their ship

Fallacy. Most gankers don’t lose their ship. You’re talking about suicide ganking. Not all ganking is suicidal.

> [@Black\_Pedro](#):
>
> Or immediately stash it in a fleet hang

How about folding it in your pocket? Any stupid argument to defend gankers, right?

> [@Black\_Pedro](#):

Look who’s talking.

Yes, let’s not change the one thing that new players quit over then waste a whole thread writing about Player Retention 🙄

> [@Xeux](#):
>
> The reason there is no counterplay against gankers is because the highsec miners have been sqeauling for years that ganking is too easy

You don’t count in this discussion, you’re merely and Alt for that extortionist Aiko.

> [@Scoots\_Choco](#):
>
> Since it seems you’re committed to playing the victim, I’ll just wish you luck with whatever’s left of your EVE career

And then now try to be genuine about Player Retention.

The only Myths in this forum are your opinions.

Because you’re a spy for them, DUH

> [@wolfstallion](#):

Yes, blame the victim, that ought to work well for Player Retention.

> [@Vuoliganar\_Madeveda](#):

They don’t care about profits, they care about their score on zKillboard.

> [@Pierre\_de\_Bricassart](#):

Source please, source. You have none! You’re just throwing statements to benefit your worthless argument.

> [@Solonius\_Rex](#):

But it’s a Sandbox game, right? Where someone is forced to play as YOU want them to. 🙄

> [@Solonius\_Rex](#):

Biggest BS in this whole thread.

> [@Xuixien](#):

Right, one says

> [@Tipa\_Riot](#):
>
> Ganking is on an all time low in EvE

And you say:

> [@Xuixien](#):
>
> There’s always been a lot of suicide ganking in HiSec

And another clown says

> [@Pierre\_de\_Bricassart](#):
>
> Today, you are quite safe in Highsec

You clowns ought to at least get your BS straight before denying the OP the least deference.

> [@Solonius\_Rex](#):
>
> Thats not the games fault, thats your fault for joining something colloquially known as an MMORP

Truest statement in this thread. He made the mistake of downloading EVE in the first place. A game that pretends to be Sandbox but forces players to play as others want them to.

> [@Xuixien](#):
>
> buffing the EHP of all ships just so that suicide ganks are harder is a very one-sided and self-centered view of the game, TBH.

But to force players to play ONE way isn’t self-centered. Ooooki

> [@Adunh\_Slavy](#):
>
> That does not mean it is not happening. Looking at some of the kills, a strong argument could be made that it is happening frequently.

They’re not arguing the point, they’re arguing against OP with every BS statement under the sun because ganking is what keeps EVE alive.

> [@Gerard\_Amatin](#):
>
> Reward is set by players and is 100% up to you

BS and you know it.

‐----------------------------------------------

Now let’s see all of you spew BS in a thread about Player Retention. That oughtta be hilarious.
