Think of Game of Thrones in real life and in EVE:
I do enjoy the gank… if I was a CCP dev and the board threw on my table a demand for nerfing the ganks, what would I do?
I would disable safety red on alphas and tell the board I did my job and I would be complimented!
And I would not nerf anything significant to the ganks!!! 
Between you and me, we know it’s not a great blow nerfing the alpha, it’s sad that no new gankers will arise by trying out the gank with an alpha… those people feeling the waters with an alpha will cease to exist. So CCP is kinda doing an ethnic cleansing on the player base with such change.
edit: I’m so f****** smart omg
