Woh, well played, you managed to found out that a 17 years old game cannot be immortal and loose players other times.
Good job, you really are the first to understand such a thing!
Now you only have to actually prove that the main reason why this happen is ganking and not the thousands of other reasons that might make people leave a game.
So besides your attempt at accusing me of being a very bad guy, where is you proof that ganking is the reason why people are leaving and not other things?
Your answer is not a proof, not even an explanation.
Ganking is great. Suicide ganking is toxic and is only used for griefing, never for serious wars, that’s why code got dick slapped out of Niarja, suicide gankers can’t do real pvp.
That’s still doesn’t prove your point that it is “killing the game”.
You can believe that they are bad players and that they have no balls as much as you want, that does nothing to prove that their actions are killing EvE.
I cant think of a single military or paramilitary action fictional or non fictional where choice of target was based on if they could fight back or not.
Edit: yes I can actually, targets are chosen for lack of such
As a long time miner myself, gankers are a fact of life; you can either accept that and work around it in order not to be on the receiving end, or you can cry on the forums about it.
