If you ganked, you would know better.

I don’t have to. I watch the multi-boxed gank fleets roam around all day, with the oh-so-clever alt character names… The reality is that there are a lot (lot) **fewer** of you around than there used to be. What you lack in actual players you’ve made up for in multi-boxed fleets.

You should look at my fleets.

Feel free to share with the rest of the class. Gankers are a dying breed. This is why so many of you reacted so vehemently to Exordium. The mere suggestion of a change causes most of you to fly off the handle…

The irony is that many others (including myself) have suggested and welcomed the idea for more consensual PvP - only to be rebuffed at every turn. So be it. Adapt or die, I guess…

I don’t know ONE ganker who cares about Exordium, and I’m clearly the best informed on this subject. You are confusing actual gankers with random non-gankers in the forums. Literally none of us care, at all.

I’m too tired to try and collect names and alts on the forums… Just peruse the ‘Exordium’ (etc.) threads and you’ll notice a distinct “panic”. Just search for “safe space” or “safe sec”.

No, you are too ashamed to admit that if you actually look at the killboards of these ‘gankers’, you will realize they aren’t gankers at all. There are like basically no gankers at all in these forums! Who are you talking about? At best, you’ve got that one guy from Plebbo, maybe he is salty about Exordium - but he’s secretly a miner who ganks on the side, so not an actual ganker in my book.

Certainly, nobody in my alliance cares at all.

No, I’m really too tired to waste any time looking up players’ killboards. I have neither the desire nor inclination. It’s not that I couldn’t - it’s that I just don’t care. 🤣

That would explain why you are unable to differentiate between someone who ganks and someone who doesn’t.

_(OOC: How am I always right about everything?)_

First I’d have to actually care… I don’t care about Exordium, and I don’t care if ganking is eventually outlawed in high-sec (no red safety). I guess all 20 of you who are affected can decide to quit if and when that ever happens…

Most of whom where either saying that it’s bad to concentrate new players for gankers, or that PVE only space is not EVE and you can make too much in Exordium. Most of the people saying stuff about gankers are using newbros as who gankers are going after, which we haven’t seen.

But sure, let Aiko know which of those are gankers.

I guess when ganking gets to be too challenging - there’s always mining to fall back on, lol.

I stopped HS ganking a while ago, but should that happen, I would give one hard final salute to an officially dead game.
