Thanks for the welcome 🙂 Well, I do like a good discussion and do not shy away from interaction (granted, when I have time for it). As for the toon used here, there’s no obligation to use an active character, or? This way at least ppl who know me outside of the game can recognize me, that’s the sole reason behind this choice. Not trying to troll ppl here, in case that was the reason behind your remark 🎩 ---

Ganking: Something that should be made illegal, and people who engage in it are 100% certifiable antisocial psychopaths, who should be rounded up, removed from polite society, and placed into solitary confinement for the rest of their lives because they are 100% irredeemable, and cannot be reeducated.

Hi Dracvlad, I think Ax’l’s last sentence rather gives the game away. Mind you, it’s a pretty fair summary of the anti-gank notions of at least a few of the _rabble_, Ax’l can be relied upon to distil cant into content. ---

We don’t dislike ganking or people opposed to ganking. What we do dislike is ganking your own corporation members in aims to deploy your own slave bots there. #SaveMike ---

You are exactly right! Recent events have proven that this isn’t always the miners fault but their slavers! Most of the miners aren’t allowed to contact other players. This is really bad for the current content meta and this counter play needs to be nerfed. Because CCP doesn’t do this there’s only one alternative solution to the problem. #SaveMike ---

Pixel ships have company. She’s called Aura. Smart, witty, capable. Everything a good ship needs. But what do the gankers have? Salt. Just _Salt!!_. The situation is untenable and must end now! ---

And there is no data to suggest otherwise. It’s only Carebears doing what they do, distorting pixel reality to fit their dimension of the reality which is really not real.
