Come on now; it's not that new of a concept.

it's a shame Eve doesn't have more activities to do than suicide ganking

oh wait

Pretty sure gankers can still gank. Nothing to see here, folks.

This thread made me giggle.

So much whine, not enough cheese.

This is what happens. We have toooooo many gankers out there and now "the law" has applied the hammer. I've said this before but... when you specifically target one group of people or over-using one particular tactic it starts to look less like random ganking and more like ethnic cleansing. In this case we have too many gankers popping a larger volume of highsec residents. When your pirate activity takes on a higher profile the higher authority will step in to clean up the situation. This isn't 100% the fault of, "Carebear Whining" and you pirates have a part to play in it too. You have gone too far and taken too much rope. Now, you have hung yourselves with it.

CCP's moves have been slow in the progression to this point. That in itself is a testament to their resistance to making highsec wowesque. If you continue on this path (and I am sure that you will) we will end up at that point sooner or later.

Quick question: What do suicide gankers get out of the gank?

If your answer is "profit" you're wrong 70% of the time. When I launch a suicide attack, i lose my ship, my modules, and likely get very little in return--ships with stiff tanks generally require multiple attackers to take down prior to concord intervention, so if you happen to get a good module drop you have to split the isk multiple ways...and even then still don't break even (unless you're using officer modules or something in your tank). Ships without stiff tanks that can be solo'd generally have crap for fits that don't even pay for the guns.

This is consequence-based PvP at its most simplistic: you fly a valuable ship without proper defenses, you should plan on losing it. The victim gets insurance, the attacker does not.

hmmm no the risk of losing a gank ship is not 100%, its a fact you will loose it you gank. The risk is a X% means that fall out can differ, you will always have at least 2 possible results (fail/sucess or head/tail). Once only one and only one results exits its not change based anylonge, hence it is not a risk or possibility that something happe. It is a fact.

The ship for a suicide ganking is nothing more than the ammo for a ratter. But ofcause ratters normally say its a risk I consume ammo when I shot a rat. lazer crystal is something different, here you eeally have a risk they take damage

The only risk a ganker take is to fail, but this dosent change the outcome of that CONCORD do. But turns profit to loss

Well, talking about the risks, it exist another risk for the ganker too. It is that someone gank him first.... but that risk is rather low I guess
