Those who do not believe it are … wrong. See [8 Golden Rules for EVE Online](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/8-golden-rules-for-eve-online/3973) - which apparently YOU still have not read, absorbed and understood, let alone accepted.

“Most” being the important word there, we can break this down into two categories:

1. if most players have never done pvp, there is no issue, leading to “end of discussion thx for coming”
2. you would have to prove that “most” is indeed the numerical majority. Since there is no way of including anyone without some SSI connection to a public killboard that claim would be unprovable, which again leads to “end of discussion thx for coming”

Interestingly but not unexpectedly you narrow down what respondents can come up with as their definition of PvP. Again, that leads to an “end of discussion thx for coming”

Thank you for your opinion. In chili the hot spices make all the difference between a good chili and a bland one.

So you rule out ganking as a form of PvP. So noted. We disagree, which leads to “End of Discussion” given your history of thread spamming on the subject.

Have a nice day.
