Haha ! This entire thread is jam packed with gankers or their supporters deciding the worth and motive of others. Ganker threads here are full of gankers deciding that solitary miners in highsec are a waste of pixels. The entire ganker ethos in itself entirely a value judgement on others. The same hypocrisy is applied with the ‘freedom’ to gank…by people who never talk about the ‘freedom’ to mine.
The African plains ? ‘Nature, red in tooth and claw’ ?. Let me know when Attenborough does a documentary showing 15 crocs suicide ganking a wildebeast.
Gotta love the way everyone is unfree to roam Eve unmolested …apart from gankers. A miner, or anyone else, transporting anything across Eve faces an all or nothing risk. They either 100% make it, or 100% don’t. Gankers, on the other hand, simply don’t face that dilemma. They can see exactly what cargo a person has, exactly what rig and fittings and defence they have, and can know exactly how many ships to bring in…which means the stakes are not all or nothing but are heavily weighted in favour of the ganker.
So the idea that there’s some sort of ‘equal freedom’ or ‘unfreedom’ is just plain nonsense.
Gankers are ‘protected’ by having weighted up the odds in advance. The fact that someone else, or Concord, can take them out is part of that calculation. That is precisely why it is called suicide ganking. Anyone even remotely proficient at ganking thus cannot lose…which is more than you can say for their targets.
Ganking is the casino equivalent of playing with loaded dice.
I see your point and it often seems that way but we use all the above to hunt them .
In the last week I have taken part in or chatted to people who have - hunted using KR , stopped ganks and saved ships , ganker station destroyed , stopped large fleets ganking because we arrived on the scene, ganked gankers off gates, people just have to do it
Anyone can be ganked. Nothing is stopping you from ganking the gankers.
Uh, cause they have magic powers? All of that takes locking. And if you don’t understand what being locked on to means, plz biomass kthx.
They are in fact not heavily weighted. If I was mining and I got locked by a random slasher, I’d already be warping to pre-aligned to a safe. Plz learn to EVE. Hell, once they got into local I’d nope out already.
I’ll never understand this perspective. Its like you believe gankers have magical powers.
or yennoe they just gotta find friends to guard and pay them out from the mining proceeds.
Apparently. I think the hard part is most of these peeps have never actively hunted another player in EVE. A player who is paying attention is much harder to kill than one who isn’t.
