But don’t you know, _feelings_ are absolutely real and they define reality. And feelings never change so they form a concrete basis in which to shape one perception of reality. And, don’t you also know, that gankers can _control_ peoples feelings? _Making_ them feel angry and enraged and sad and whatever else. Gankers are truly horrible individuals with god-like abilities and influence over people. And should be removed from the public in order to keep people happy and sane. ---

Sadly I found quite a few gankers really wanted to get nasty personal, and some are full of fear about their chosen game play. It can make for a pretty toxic attitude, which they then apply to those that they prey upon or oppose them. Still it can be amusing, but a bit irritating to those not engaged in this area of the game. Even those like myself and Githany who accept that ganking as in hisec ganking is part of the game and want to improve the balance of it, get tarred with the toxicity that they project and then attacked by all and sundry and get drawn into their circle of toxicity. I will never apologise for focusing on the play options of an individual character when being ganked, as compared to that of the very few and loud excessive multi-boxing gankers, correct game balance is a must for this type of play, otherwise you will lose it, simple as that. I count one major success in regards to my forum efforts, in that I was able to make the CEO of CCP aware that unlimited time bumping was not a good thing. CCP to their credit changed it to something that still gave gankers the ability to use it, which is fine, and that is all that one can ask for. ---

Well, it would have come off as arrogant and attention seeking if you did, and we bad actors would have trolled you for it. So you made the wise decision. Thinking back, I do recall you mentioning in another post that you were playing again (after someone said you weren’t.)
