in all honesty here Gankers have ruined any joy in the game for me, we Players cant progress (im not soley the only one…) who cant get past a certain point and reach our goals. first reason- we get our t2 battleship for HIGH-SECURITY mission running. we dont make it 2 jumps before a couple billion isk down the drain, a tech 2 fitted vargur for example is more of a prime target then a shuttle full of plex nowadays. Something has to be done about it, a way to opt out of the pvp from people who literaly have caused irl deaths of friends. i’ve lost 2 already due to constant ganker harrassment, that lead to other kinds of harrassment. i know risk is everywhere but still there has to be a way to change this, after the covid crisis people are fragile now, they have already lost so much in their lives and need an escape. Eve was mine. For some people this game is a way to escape the daily abuse in their own personal lives. now gankers have made it their mission to ruin these lives ingame now too and to a degree of harrassment that should be stopped. period. they threaten us, we cuss them back, were the ones repremanded… so yeah ccp change some things before everyone else who was targeted/harrassed does do something stupid like press legal charges on lets say a irl corperation who didn’t help their fanbase/followers/people who actually spend money on the game. ---

im not saying i dont want pvp, ill do it every now and then. its just like the gun safety systems green yellow and red. there should be a thing thats toggleable like wardecks… certain requirements must be met before they can be wardecked. just do the same with highsec, to a degree atleast .\_. ---

I really miss the days of defending the highsec ice fields from the swarms of bot aspirants. Ganking has gotten so post-modernist and meta now that i don’t know even know who the bad guys are. Is this actually a “grr gankers evil” thread? Or is it a “let’s troll the stupid anti gankers” thread. I miss the old days. ---

Why would somebody choose to go from playing a fun emergent gameplay to grinding isk alone? Actually no, the more important question is how could a ganker not know how to defend themselves from ganking? You should post your lossmail. I bet you did something stupid and want to blame game mechanics, rather than accepting responsibility for yourself. ---
