Ah yes. The old âband wagonâ logical fallacy.

I definitely didnât like his online persona. He did a shitty job as Community Manager here and the game changes he pushed for only caused more players to leave.

I donât play this game anymore because PvP in general has been nerfed into oblivion but I check back every now and then cause the carebear tears are great.
My 2c. I played the game for over 10 years and hauled thousands of 10b+ loads straight through uedama in freighters, dsts, orcas, hell even interceptors and have not ONCE been ganked doing this because I always take proper precautions and know how the game mechanics work.
I say all that to say, ganking is FAR from OP. Hell itâs barely even profitable now without 20+ accounts which is a full time job to keep up. If anything CCP just needs a better tutorial. HS is already 99% safe if you know what youâre doing. Nerfing that last 1% would be horrible for the player driven economy. Inflation would kill any possibility of a newbro ever catching up isk wise.
Hell even now, the only way a newbro has a chance to catch up without unreasonable amounts of RMT is ganking/scamming/theft. Removing ganking entirely would kill the game on many levels.

Interesting nuance of band wagon.
This is⌠clearly nonsense. I canât think of any game where a behavior thatâs expressly allowed by game mechanics is also forbidden by the rules, which isnât surprising because that would obviously be absurd.

Iâd say ganking is more of an exploit, and even then calling it an exploit is a massive leap. Itâs more using the mechanics to its fullest. Nothing in the TOS says you canât take advantage of CONCORD response time to deal as much damage as possible. It does sometimes feel like BS. I once got one tapped off a gate I just warped to, which was the gate to my destination, I couldnât have responded or even checked, because Iâve encountered Tornadoes in the wild before that didnât gank me. I got the last laugh though, because I was only hauling one thing, and it didnât drop. Even if it did, it wouldnât have covered the cost of the ship used to gank me.
Youâre saying that youâve never played a pvp game where pvp is a bannable offense?
Clearly youâve never played a pvp game in Kanavaistoâs warped perception of reality.

Exploits are rulebreaking circumventions of intended mechanics, while ganking is expressly allowed, so by definition, ganking != an exploit.
An example of an âexploitâ would be ganking someone in high sec in a way that should incur a Concord response, but then avoiding the concordokken somehow.

Iâll not go into it here, DMC, but I there was more to it than that. Falcon made life harder for people who didnât behave or who wanted to change the game he undoubtedly loved. He didnât see why life should be made harder for gankers when their targets got away with doing little or nothing for themselves, and that was then!
Falcon actually delivered a punch in my direction once, following an ill-advised comment by me in a sub-forum. I was surprised (much else Iâd written in a similar vein had been allowed to pass), but not harmed in the least. Temporarily cowed, perhaps. He was doing his job. No one had to like him any more than they have to like any other employee of the Company. I wonder that you revel in such irrelevances.
Perhaps you werenât hurt at all, DMC. Iâve no way of knowing. However, your remark, above, does bear the unmistakable trace of Sodium crystals. Many of we CODE supporters read the blog post with utter glee.
Going back to it just now gave me a wistful chuckle or two, I can tell you!
Thatâs not the only thing you donât understandâŚ

You are correct. EVE has one cluster that just happens to be PVP. It has been PVP for 20 years. Not sure why you insist that needs to change now? You offer no reason other than you donât like it.

Iâm sure youâre lovely in person.
You said âend of storyâ yesterday but youâre still here.
And itâs not your game. It is CCPâs. Even all the ships, modules, ores and isk belongs to CCP. You own nothing in New Eden, not even your clone.

Well, either youâre a tick, sucking off the free alpha state, or youâre a paycheck funding CCPâs payroll with your PLEX.
One is slightly more enduring than the other.
