So when does the new mechanic for ganking and standings drops take effect?

How did that roam to null go last night?

Oh you didnt do it?

Hey look I was right after all!

Well played though, better luck next game

Has he gone into a hyperbolic rant that the view of freedom held by those of us arguing against him equates to anarchy yet?

No idea, and quite frankly dont care to know.

Riding on the freedom of the game until CCP tries to put me on rails, then I am out.

Excellent choice

Ramona, I am suddenly struck by the lyrics of System of a Down:

ā€œThey’re trying to build a prison
For you and me to live in
Another prison system
For you and meā€

And the quote from Obi Wan about the destruction of Alderaan.

And there you have it all summed up in one sentence. We don’t need any more gank threads or posts. We finally distilled the most relevant facts into one sentence for CCP.

The whole, ā€œus versus themā€ has really worked. I see it all the time in sports and politics, glad to see that it applies here as well. The Roman leaders of days gone by would be proud. :black_heart:

Meanwhile, back at CCP:


And yet strangely, you confine your activities to high sec.

Are you sure you don’t mean ā€œa game where you can attack people who are guaranteed easy kills, while remaining quite safe yourselfā€?

Because that’s what the evidence points to.

If they are ā€œeasyā€ it is only due to people’s misconception of the game and of high security.

If people took basic precautions, it’d be much different.

Lowsec: empty
Nullsec: empty
Wormholes: empty
Highsec: packed to the gills with players
This may be why so many player-killers congregate in highsec. I admit, it is possible to go to nullsec and find YUGE blobs to fight, so nullsec isn’t truly ā€œempty.ā€ Tutucox will also point out that it is possible to find fights in lowsec, but only in some very specific systems, with a very specific engagement style. Even so, I think the main reason these players are in highsec is because that is where all the players are.

Its a game where everyone has equal opportunity to be this or that. People choose to be predator or prey by their choice of play style. Given that every Omega has 3 characters, there’s absolutely nothing stopping a person being prey in one character and predator in another. There is nothing even remotely ā€˜unfair’ about any of this. Unlike real life its a completely level playing field of opportunity. You pay your money and you take your choice.

You keep spreading your mythical version of ganking that bears no resemblance to reality.

Highsec ganking is simply lowsec PvP with Concord thrown in. Why is it ā€˜PvP’ in a 0.4 system yet suddenly ā€˜ganking’ and ā€˜griefing’ in a 0.5 system just because the security went up one notch and Concord arrive rather than the faction police ? You keep inventing some major distinction that simply isn’t there. PvP is PvP…whether done in null, lowsec, or highsec.

As for people not being able to fight back…most of the decimating is done in lowsec, precisely against people who are targetted because they will be defeated !

Agreed… Francis?

Grats, you fell for it.

I don’t see the point in responding to this 20-year-old ā€œreal PvPā€ bait from people who have never even been in null-sec once before.

It is simply a name. It does not reflect any fundamental difference. The ONLY difference between a 0.4 system and a 0.5 system is that Concord show up in the latter. So how does activity get to be ā€˜proper PvP’ in the 0.4 system yet ā€˜griefing’ in the 0.5 ? And never mind that 10 times as many ā€˜defenceless’ Ventures get blapped in lowsec !

Oh, you know full well the point I am making…that there is fundamentally zero PvP difference between lowsec and highsec if you’re going to rile about poor defenceless people. Why do you ONLY rile about supposed poor defenceless Ventures in highsec yet 10 times as many Ventures with no greater defence ability get zapped in lowsec every day and you are silent on the matter. Why is that ?

A miner in a 0.9 system can expect Concord to arrive within 6 seconds. They need only tank to survive that time. A miner in 0.4 has zero Concord protection and pirates can take their time blapping them. Yet somehow in your twisted world the Concord protected miner in 0.9 is the poor poor defenceless victim while you are totally silent on the 10 times larger number of such miners killed in 0.4 !

What a ridiculously ass backwards view of Eve you have !
