State of Ganking

The Devils were too good. Romi system, right?

This is one of my gripes about the game.

When asked what makes EvE compelling, so many point to the past.

And you know why ? Its because the past psychologically has to have been the golden years so people can lay claim to greatness. If the best years of Eve have passed, then nobody can ever outdo that greatness…so it stands to reason that a lot of people want to portray the ‘golden age’ in order to maintain their legacy.

If, on the other hand, Eve is actually much the same or even getting better…that golden age is no longer an unlockable safe of everlasting greatness. Future people will be greater. The past legacy is diminished. And I suspect a lot of people cannot cope with that…and ‘Eve is a shadow of its former self’ is really just a method of protecting past glories rather than an actual truth.

Is there a reason accel gates always warp you at 0? Is there a way not to?

Since High sec is completely dead I fly around EPeen land (aka low sec). Only people I can find are in those stupid instances.

Guess i should just meta out my ship and warp to zero like the rest of the ogres?

EVE might not be a shadow of its former self, but it definitely was a better game in the past. Objectively so; there was simply more to do, and way more player interaction happening. There was much less emphasis on mindless ISK grinding. Players actually fought over space, instead of staging fake, one-every-five-years “morality” wars.

Eve is definitely a shadow of its former self.

The soul of this game was killed off years ago.

Been flying around for a week now after years away. What a joke.

I dunno, I hear bitter vets constantly complain about the ‘old days’.

This is all I’ve ever known, and I’m enjoying it.

You should try Highsec ganking, and just kill miners.

I never get bored.

That’s defnitely my problem here.

Been flying around the past week after about 8 years away.

The biggest difference is that you just cant do anything other than suicide gank.

Everywhere i turn, there is a rule or restriction or mechanic preventing me from interaction. None of these exists back the “good old days”.

This is why this game lost more than half its players. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise. We will see how long this lasts.

Highsec wardecs were glorious.

■■■■ yeah they were! Kind of a drag flying around now. I get to shoot noobs or epeeners.

Not much venom behind the fight.

Weirdly, the changes the bears wanted has directly led to you.

They basically Thanosed themselves.

You are the consequence to their cowardice ROFL.

This is so amusing, moans about restrictions but wait for it… choses to operate in a restricted area…

Bro? If they removed CONCORD today, you’d never undock in high ROFL.

You’d flee to your blue donut and never look back.
