Warfare & Tactics

Fine....I really hate highsec pvp.

Well done, it isn't often these days something makes me actually chuckle out loud for real.

We tend to have a lot of alts, yes.

Not an exploit.

Always expect this in hi-sec. Gets friends and counter-gank them. Your friends kill/neut/jam/disrupt the RR while you kill the original target. All of you get kills!! There are plenty of groups which do this in EVE. Just find them, get your friends, counter-gank and enjoy the KM (and Tears!!!).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your complaint seems to be that it's unfair, yes?

Look at it this way. In almost every situation in highsec, the defender has to basically give you permission to kill them. They have to shoot you to give you an LE, let you into their corp, not drop corp in response to a wardec or fail to pay attention and/or fit a tank appropriate to their value in the case of suicide ganks.

It's the defender that sets up all the hoops you have to jump through to kill them. As an aggressor, you have to find ways to overcome those barriers. If the defender puts up no barriers or ineffective barriers it can be quite easy, but as the defenses get more robust, the tools to defeat them need to be more robust. So we develop those tools.

While some of the most experienced among us have a very powerful set of tools, the best defenders are still able to avoid any kind of interactive gameplay. Many of the less experienced among the aggressors have less robust tools and many less experienced defenders fail to put up any obstacles to getting pushed over. If you feel that it's unfair in some way, I'd bet it's because you fail to appreciate that you, as a defender, have all the power and are simply failing to use it.

(Or you're in nullsec but you would fail to use your power if you lived in highsec because you don't appreciate that this sort of play is fairly cerebral.)
