Ganking is dead only miner ganking in small groups and tornado ganker doing alpha strikes. There is even a fake Kusion in uedama these days ganking small targets on his own . Maybe we need to look for new targets , I watched the meta show from two days ago and mittens and B made a lot of sense, Renters and bots, the new large scale criminal gangs of eve. Think I’m a goon in denial, Is this a recognised problem and can I get help for it. ---

Okay, this leaves me with so many questions. First > [@Shaigh](#): > > towards them after they caught me off guard, destroyed my loaded kronos, How in the world did they catch you off guard? Why were you not actively pinging d-scan? High sec is not safe, but it is easy to determine if a fleet of murder talos, or catalysts, or typhoons or whatever are going to land on you. Not to mention you were in a marauder. Where was your tank? > [@Shaigh](#): > > and killed my implanted character… And this is precisely the reason why one should not use implants. Ever. Why do people insist on using them? Especially for risk adverse carebears? ---

> [@Nana\_Skalski](#): > > What abut people telling you, from experience, what is best to do in some circumstances? They would still tell you what to do. 🤔 That’s a red herring fallicy and has nothing to do with the argument I was putting forth to Aaron. I don’t like fleets because I enjoy playing solo. (Which is an opinion, but I offered my _reasons_ as to why fleets are so detestable. But since you brought _this_ up, “An idiot can learn from his own mistakes, but a genius learns form others.” _~Albert Einstein_ I have no problems learning and taking direction, and correction from people who _know_ what they are doing, and take _accountability_ for their mistakes. I have not found 1 FC that had either of those qualities simultaneously. ---

> [@Mohammad\_Mediouni\_Sh\_rifi](#): > > You admit you were off guard but somehow it’s their fault? You’re right…it was all my fault for being caught off guard… I’m just deflecting my own shortcomings onto them when they are just having fun playing the game how it is meant to be played… That realization is helping me to come back to the game… Even though I’m well off in the game, I took that loaded Kronos and character loss personally when I shouldn’t have… Definitely part of the psychological maturing process of this game that some new players can’t get past… ---

I was at a Triglavian site doing my destroy and salvage thing when a Code gang just popped in and immediately attacked… I was totally equipped to wipe them out…two armor repairers, repair boost injector, etc…but I froze…didn’t inject the repair booster that I brought specifically for that situation or even launch my high end drones before they killed me… I was kinda surprised that Concord didn’t show up…but they might have after I was obliterated… Lol… ---

Yeah, that’s exactly what I need to do to get past it… I’ve gotta stop being a loner and make some friends in the game… I had created a challenge in my mind that I wanted to succeed in the game by myself…and I did…but that approach ended up hurting me with combat beyond the AI stuff… It’s been a lesson learned on how to engage the game… ---
