> [@Bolvek\_Einherjar](#): > > and when they cheat the game mechanics, especially, now, using those bot softwares to vm multibox two or more alpha games at once they are now using, (youtube), dont they know us whitehats (me) can track that stuff , geesh, its only a matter of time… You seem to think only gankers do that, and you are horribly wrong. I personally don’t know any gankers that do that, anyway. Plus, the recent bug CCP admitted was an issue was people being able to use more than one alpha account. You’re trying to turn something that isn’t relevant to this post into the topic of discussion, anyway. I’ve never met anyone who was willing to identify themselves as a whitehat. Considering you are a self-admitted sociopath, I’m inclined not to believe anything you say anyway. Once again, you talk about it being a ‘matter of time,’ when the game is working as intended. ---

Shoot them first. Then if you ascertain they are new to the game, talk to them, offer advice, and if they take it give them some ships. Had a great time once when I shot someone in a Venture then reached out to them. They were new, so I contracted them a gank Atron, told them to go and gank another Venture and if they did I’d give them 50 million ISK. They did, I paid them, and they got started in PVP in the game. ---

I cannot provide such proof to you, but somehow I have the feeling you wouldn’t recognise one of those anyway even if you saw him posting in the same thread as you… But don’t feel bad about it, that’s because I know of at least one that’s actually a CODE spai in disguise, not your fault… EDIT: And how did we end up talking about this in this thread, BTW? 🤔 ---

Anyone can identify as whoever they want on the forum. When I say anti-gankers then I do refer to actions happening inside the game, just like gankers are people who are being called out as gankers for what they do in the game. ---

Not sure “it’s a good thing” is how I would express it, but certainly nothing wrong about it. I’ve killed a few of them myself, always because they were suspect, and usually didn’t realise they were noobs until they placed a bounty on me for having killed them… ---

I misread “_somehow I have the feeling you wouldn’t recognise one of those anyway_” as me not recognizing your proof and it came across as you being disappointed in me.

I usualy kill everyone flying around my home, because if you enter a wormhole you should know what you are doing. If the char I have killed is not older than one month, he would get a little bit ISK after the kill, and a short mail, what just happened and why. ---
