It's very dishonest to claim PVP you don't like isn't "real".


it's virtual in most cases.

Fun fact.

You are also more likely to be involved in a road accident than ganked unless you do something stupid.


You are also much less likely to be involved in a road accident than getting ganked if you're busy playing EvE.

Doh.


Unless you are driving down the road while playing Eve on your laptop. I know a guy that did that.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

What if you're afk cloaking.

The only risk in suicide ganking the 30B ISK officer-fit marauder in a hisec mission hub is that the loot fairy will look upon you unkindly.


So you mean that it's just like market trading where you risk losing your investment and not getting any return?

There are so many holes in the "suicide ganking is risk-free" whine. I thought you'd be smarter than that.

1) you ALWAYS get something at the end. be it killmail, hatemail, loot or tears
2) your logic can lead to "shooting monument at Jita is risky: each shot your gun produces makes damage which depends of RNG".

Yes, "so many holes"....

I guess you can loot our own wreck if you're enough of a bad ganker to not kill the target

Without the possibility of some bad guy performing random violence on your ship, you're left with only PvE in an MMO with absolutely the worst PvE of any MMO. Pirates need targets. Industrialists need a challenge. Its a symbiotic relationship.

No, Alavaria, this guy was most assuredly not afk cloaking. He is a famous bot aspirant miner who has over 100 accounts. Thankfully he did not get into an accident because then people would say something like "grrr goons"
