> [@Gasephed\_Sinak](#): > > **High-sec ganking is basically abusing the safety net.** > > It’s players exploiting CONCORD’s delayed response to blow up targets that can’t realistically fight back, then shrugging off the loss because their ships are dirt cheap compared to what they kill. It’s low-risk, high-reward predation wrapped in a “working as intended” label. Oh dear. What a load of BS sophistry. Highsec is simply lowsec with Concord. The Concord system is _supposed_ to be ‘exploited’…which is why Concord response times differ according to system security level. No-one would bother coding Concord response times into the system unless Concord were _supposed_ to respond to stuff and people were actually doing that stuff. Thus, ganking cannot be anything other than _intended_ roleplay. ---

> [@Derlin\_Fishen](#): > > nothing about EVE is real Nothing in EVE is real? Come on. We breathe oxygen, we eat food, we pay rent, and the space-police still show up only after the dust settles. Half the game is basically a disturbingly accurate simulation of real life, just with more lasers and fewer parking tickets. If EVE ever went full roguelike, half of New Eden would rage-quit the moment they realized their clone contract expired. ---
