Some gank do’s and don’ts:
Do:
- ask the person who ganked you what you could have done better, if you don’t understand what happened. (In case ganker isn’t helpful - ignore and move on. Some may have good tips though!)
Don’t:
- react angry or mad - even if you are, keep it to yourself. Don’t ‘reward’ them with your angry mails or local chat, they like it when you do that
Do:
- ask yourself what you could have done differently to avoid what happened. Did you haul a lot of value? Did you not respond when that catalyst warped to your belt? Learn from it and do better next time!
Don’t:
- do the exact same thing again in a bigger more expensive ship. It won’t save you and they will bring enough ships to destroy your bigger ship too.
Do:
- try ganking for yourself (on another character) - even if you don’t enjoy it it may give you insight into the thoughts behind the ganking process that may save you from getting ganked in the future
Don’t:
- ask for ganking to be removed/nerfed. Risk in all of EVE is part of the game and high sec ganks are easily avoided if you know how to.
Do:
- make insta-dock and insta-undock bookmarks in popular tradehubs and use autopilot to immediately dock once you arrive at that bookmark.
Don’t:
- use autopilot anywhere else.
