Right, but there’s no CONCORD to protect me in nullsec, and I am just a new player practicing PvP within the safe zone, so I say if you don’t want to get ganked then you can man up and go to nullsec, because I’m just practicing my solo PvP skills.

There are many players who want to sit back and fly around hauling, mining or killing AI without having to fear that toxic players like you hunting them down just to ruin their fun and enjoyment. I burned out hard in null sec wars over the years and just want to enjoy a almost retired life in high sec which is still a pain to try to do with suicide gankers. The crap needs to end. If you want to run around ganking go to nullsec or lowsec and fight people. farming Carebears and new players is toxic mentality.

And they are wrong. They are playing an open world PvP game 😃

It ruins everyones fun on these forums apparently. They complain more about not being able to gank new players and carebears more than we complain about them. Their first instinct is to insult and berate anyone who speaks against them. Then they sit on the forums all day being forum warriors when they dont get to be toxic in game.

Your interpretation of the game is very different to the owners and developers of the game. Whatever floats your boat dude.

When you install the game you consent to PvP. Every time you launch the game you consent to PvP. Just like when you start playing chess you consent to PvP. 😉

Ganking is part of the game. Ships are like wrenches. A tool to be used, and if it snaps in your hand you dont spend any time getting annoyed with the time you spent at your job earning the cost of that wrench, you just go get another one.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

If _my_ wrench breaks, I will send out my warranty claim, and will then spend 12-16 hours every day to rattle off dozens of threatening letters to the manufacturer, make dozens of phone calls to the company and the store that sold it to me, instantly file BBB complaints against both, get in touch with lawyers to explore the possibility of lawsuits, wage an endless social media campaign by blasting their Twitters and Facebooks with negative feedback, and tell every single person I interact with throughout my day to not buy these wrenches from the company that made them, or patronize the store that sold them to me.

How _dare_ they waste my precious time by selling me defective tools?
