EVE General Discussion

Nice Answer

…and he gets rewarded for it.

For the same reason the miner gets it. Also, for the simple reason that the game is designed to provide one, and no-one has put forward a good reason why this should change.

Prove it. A simple link will do. Just prove it. Any avoidance or evasion will be interpreted as you admitting that you are a liar, here and everywhere else you've posted in the thread.

TY for the correction on Frigate vs Titan Tippia, the Merlin is obviously OP, NERF MERLINS.



There is consequence, both for the ganker and the gankee. The victim may well have spent time and effort gathering the resources needed for their ship or cargo, the ship itself or the value of the cargo are their potential reward, they then risk that reward. The chances of being ganked are pretty tiny ergo the consequences of undocking are also pretty tiny.

The ganker spends time and effort setting up the gank, knowing full well that there is a 50/50 chance of no reward at all, they purchase a ship and modules, they organise some friends and a looter, they ship scan potential targets. They gank the target, Concord turn up and BBQ their ships, the looter scoops the loot, if any, and they divide up any resulting ISK.

The consequence for the gankee is provided by the ganker, the consequence for the ganker is provided by Concord, and kill rights, and bounties, and loss of sec status, and being criminally flagged.

The potential gankee is actually getting the lesser consequence, because the chances of being ganked are next to nil, if you're paying attention and don't do silly things, like carry an excessive isk value in cargo.

The ganker gets hit with consequence from multiple directions, and is guaranteed to lose a ship.

Ganking is the farming of stupidity, the sooner CCP makes PvE more like PvP the better, we've already seen them start along this path with the NPC AI.

My bad that should have said NPC AI , a prime example of my fingers running ahead of my brain.

At the OP (I ain't typing out your new name, it's nearly as bad as your old one)
Why shouldn't you be able to rob people of their valuables for profit?

And it does, those questions "have already been answered".

He still never posted those "repeated answers" he said he did =(

But I also answered your question WHound. I didn't avoid it. I don't really think Jonah avoided it either.

Go for it, I don't gank on this character, so you're unlikely to find me in a low value high DPS ship, you're much more likely to find me hauling or doing some PvE, does that tempt you?

It'll never happen though, you don't have the balls to try, or the organisational skills to succeed.

Consequence wise, I'd rally up some friends and come down on you like a ton of bricks, repeatedly, because I have ingame friends that are quite accomplished at it, hell they'd do it for the lols, I'd just need to supply the ships and modules. And I'd do it regardless of consequence from Concord, my lovely 5.0 sec status is there to burn.

I'd welcome the kill rights that come with the gank, I can think of several people who would gladly take them off my hands, even at a price.

But first you have to catch me, secondly you're unlikely to make a profit because A: I don't AFK haul, B: I fit a tank to everything, C: I never carry enough value in cargo to make any attempt profitable, D: I don't undock in things I can't afford to lose.

So I challenge you, put your money where your mouth is, prove that ganking is unbalanced and entirely in the hands of the ganker.

Why shouldn't you be able to rob people of their valuables for profit?

So you're a liar, then.
It would have been so easy for you to show that you weren't and to prove us all wrong, and instead you opted to out yourself.

Well, that's nice to know for future reference, if nothing else. A bit sad, but still nice to know.
