There’s risk all over the place for suicide gankers. There is the loot fairy, loot stealing, traps, anti-gankers, just to name a few, not to mention the largest risk - that no viable/profitable target will appear and their time will go to waste.

If suicide ganking was easy, risk-free ISK as many players who have never tried it will assert, why are there so few people doing it? It is not easy to attack someone successfully in highsec, nor is it especially profitable. Pretty much only the most unaware are even targets, and of them, only the most reckless have made themselves a profitable enough target to make it worth all the risks and costs associated with trying to attack them.

Certainly, the income available from ganking nowhere near the much more certain and regular ISK/h available from high-end PvE content. Which is why most Eve players do that instead of trying to eek a living out of preying on other players in highsec.

Morals! They are all sheep and white knights and just can’t do it. Billions of ISK in reach without effort, but those damn morals I tell you!!

Who is this Morals guy you speak of, and how does he keep them from ganking?

Is he the new leader of antiganking? 😮

I think you don’t quite realize how the C&P forum works.
