Real men do low yield mining in highsec. Real men put their attackers in their place using words. Real men do not change their behavior just because they are getting bullied. Real men tell CCP how to fix their game - by locking safeties to green in highsec. ---

How is this nonsense, Lucas x123xxx? If you are successfully suicide-ganked, you failed to take adequate precautions against just such an eventuality. The active precautions do require _effort_; therefore, they are unlikely to be undertaken by lazy people. The result is that the target hates the ganker, because hatred (requiring no effort) is the retaliation/weapon/precaution nearest at hand. Makes perfect sense to me. ---

> [@High\_Priestess\_Seana](#): > > gankers are hated because to lazy to find real PVP Hm. If I accept (temporarily, I assure you) that gankers are too lazy to find ‘real PvP’ - why would that lead to them being _hated_? Why would anyone hate someone who was simply lazy? Seems a bit strong. > [@High\_Priestess\_Seana](#): > > and risk anything that might cost them over a 2 million catalyst No full-time suicide ganker would recognise your example of a ‘2 million (ISK) catalyst’. Following the EHP buffs, a ganker must field at the very least 3-5 vessels, fitted for T2, in most cases (unless he has multiple accounts). Those accounts themselves involve significant cost, and add to the financial considerations. Many gankers may also have other ships in their hangars; The Talos, The Tornado, which cost more than the Catalyst to fit correctly. In short, x123xxx, you are wrong; and mightily so. Think about what you’re writing. Ask yourself; ‘Is what I have just written actually true?’ ‘Am I just venting, or am I making a coherent and supportable assertion?’ The answers to those questions might surprise and disappoint you, in equal measure. ---

> [@High\_Priestess\_Seana](#): > > gankers are hated because to lazy to find real PVP and risk anything that might cost them over a 2 million catalyst My gank alt’s T2 Catalysts are all 11m ISK. T1s are only really enough DPS if one has a _large_ number of gankers. And throw in the cost of clone soldier tags…they are 20m ISK. And on top of that the 70m ISK Concord fee for activating them. The tags and fee are roughly every 12 ganks if I want to stay above -2.5. _So the cost of each gank is actually around 19m._ And on top of that, throw in failed ganks, and having to go round for 30 days with half a dozen kill rights on me. ---

ask mr potatoe cakes and his 4 alts sat on amarr undock 4 times ive been dropped by him before ive even loaded up 2 on undock and twice coming out of warp…i had full protection but its all pointless when you cannot even click the buttons needed for it to work before you actually load up like i say he does what he does well and im not knocking him for taking advantage of what he knows is impossible to fix because of high volume lag but this is why gankers will always have the upper edge ---
