There is a difference, but almost every instance of “ganking” that takes place now is griefing. The perpetrators don’t even pretend it’s for anything other than salt mining.

You “believe” whatever fits your agenda. If I were agreeing with your points of view you’d be cheering me on and accepting everything I say. Because I don’t agree with your points of view you claim I’m a liar and attack anything I say.
He’s saying you’re giving yourself away, like, he’s saying you’re so dumb that you can’t even keep up the illusion of not being an alt. In short, he’s insulting you, as he does everybody else who doesn’t agree with him.
Lots of people post similarly without being alts of each other. You make these accusations when you want to derail from thread topics because you know you can’t argue that ganking is good for the game when it obviously isn’t.
The topic is ganking. The topic is not about whether or not you think people are alts of other people.
Ganking is bad for the game. It ruins the experience for many people. I’m sure the few people that do the ganking love it because they get easy kills and don’t have to put in any effort but low effort PvP isn’t the goal of the EVE I know.
Says who?
You are playing a PvPvE MMO game with full loot mechanics, and high sec has never been designed to be 100% safe.
What are the chances people who die in high sec to gank and ragequit, would have stayed in the game long term? None. The first time they die to an NPC, or in a wormhole, or low sec, they will quit in frustration.
You see this all the time in PvPvE FPS games where people demand a PvE only mode (which is the equivalent of making ppl invulnerable to player deaths in high sec here), because they died to another player and can’t cope. So they die once or twice and ragequit.
So you would ruin a game just to cater to whiners and ragequitters. Give it up.
Gankers are top of the food chain, you seem to have trouble accepting the fact that you, being at the bottom of the foodchain, prey, are nothing more than a tasty snack.
