I’m completely oblivious, all I know is isk makes me happy and the more I get the happier I am. This is a wild thought Anti-Gankers, almost zero return on months of investment. That’s an embarrassing prospect considering even miners are making something off the belt. They claim it’s charity but a zero net worth is still a big fat zero in my book. So does this mean that Anti-Gankers are just failed Gankers that became bitter? Please help me understand I’m new and need guidance. ---

Good intentions wrapped around naivety and a general disdain for profit but don’t take my word for it, I never was an Anti-ganker. Maybe we could ask one, if we can find one. ---

It sounds dangerously Anti-Capitalist to me. I’m not sure if it’s a threat to our free markets, but it’s definitely not productive. From my newbro perspective it’s seems like the Anti is more like Failed. @Dracvlad Any thoughts, are you an anti-capitalist that hates the free markets? Do you consider yourself an Anti Ganker, why do you do what you do? Is it hard knowing that your focusing on a 2million Destroyer instead of a 2billion hauler? Why not just tornado yourself some good money? ---

I don’t know how to characterize it. Some may call it a playstyle, others revenge and yet I don’t see the purpose in foiling one gank while failing to foil a hundred others. Of course I don’t know how the mind of an Anti-ganker works. > [@Conference\_Elitest](#): > > From my newbro perspective it’s seems like the Anti is more like Failed I’m not sure about that, although it is likely.

That’s a solid point I hadn’t really thought about it like that. @Aiko_Danuja Maybe you could help fill us in, I don’t understand why someone would spend hours a day floating in space not turning some kind of profit. Why would someone focus on a Catalyst instead of a Hauler or Freighter. Seeing as how your one of the premier Gankers in eve, your insight into the matter would be greatly appreciated. ---

I address this in my previous post: > [@Why antigank?](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/why-antigank/407469): > > Most people play the game, which is all about mining to relax and helping miners stay safe. However, a handful of wannabe griefers have dedicated themselves to “antiganking”, desperately trying to prevent other people from playing the game. I am perplexed. Why would anyone waste fifteen years of their real-life, failing to stop someone else from playing a video game? Would you join a Minecraft server, and waste your time protecting someone else’s diamonds, even though everyone on the server has … In this particular case, the OP is a pleb who can’t do anything to stop me in game, so they resort to continual forum temper tantrums. It’s basically the equivalent of someone who can’t afford to go to the baseball game, and they spend their time ranting on the baseball forums. They don’t play the game, they aren’t part of the game, they are just a general purpose whiner. ---

Thank you for your time regarding the matter. Fascinating. So I can’t say in this particular case they are a failure as they never made an attempt to play the game as that would be disrespectful to someone that at the very least made an attempt at trying. This has been illuminating. ---

As an industrialist… Ganking is just part of the business model. Some gankers do not know what they have and sell cheap. I buy and sell it for more. Did I just gank the ganker? When I am in an asteroid belt and see someone landing on grid. I warp off fast. Ganking is only successful when you are not paying attention. So pay attention out there. Do not watch netflix or whatever it is you do to pass the time. Do not be AFK. Unless you can afford to lose ships. Some actually have that cost built into their business model. Seems a waste to me. But then I do not multi box either so there is that. I am always prepared to lose a ship anytime i undock. I take calculated risks for anything I want to do. Whether it is playing the market or flying a ship. Yelling at gankers and being salty about ganking. Is like yelling and blaming water for being wet. It is what it is. ---
