EVE General Discussion

We gank because it makes us rich. Its the victims who feel the need to find some psychological flaw that makes us do it.

Its hardly risk free though. There are plenty of drawbacks but its not our fault the people of highsec dont utilise the many options to make us feel pain.

Its called context, look it up sometime.

How am I making it easy?

(Beware I am confused easily as I am nothing but a scrub noob cuddly care bear )

What they mean kobol is that it is hard for them to find their own words.The whole doctrine thing i just said above makes the brain a bit dead on inspirational thoughts.

As such they would like to thank you for speaking so that they could just quote it with their thumbs up.


It's a bit like you'd have with 4 year olds .

because why fly around and around in nullsec or low for hours when you can just go into any system anywhere in hi and there's a target

they have to stay in hi-sec because they are basically pvp carebears

To all the people discussing the risk (or what you feel is the lack thereof) for gankers/war deccers in highsec, the point I was trying to make in the first part is that in a lot of cases the risk the aggressor faces in low and null is pretty much the same. If a couple of people in stealth bombers go after a ratting bs or a mining barge in low/null the risk the ratter/miner poses to them isn't any greater than a ratter/miner in highsec

Which, to me, makes the "go to low/null" argument feel pretty silly, because being in low/null doesn't inherently make fights any fairer, anymore invited, or anything else.

More than a few highseccers seem to think that everyone in low/null are l33t pvpers who are itching for a fight 23.5/7 - that's not true, there are plenty of carebears there too (search "AFK Cloak" and you'll see just how many...), so to me all areas of space seem pretty much the same: There are soft targets everywhere, people who don't want me to kill them everywhere, people who surprise you and put up a good fight and even win sometimes everywhere, etc

The idea that one part of space is for pvp and another is for pve is wrong. That's not how the mechanics work, it never has been, it never SHOULD be. It's a massive, horrible misunderstanding that some players have.

true but trying to say low is as safe as high for gankers is rubbish. in highsec few will shoot you even if you're red, partly because they don't understand PvP mechanics and all the timers freak them out, but mostly because they just don't care.

low sec is full of opportunists and campers. if you don't know how to deal with them then you're dead before you find a target. I suspect a lot of gankers and can flippers really don't which is why they hang out in high. and that's fine if that's what they enjoy but they are pretty much gank bears.

I understand what you mean. I spend about the same amount of time in low as I do in high with two different characters. My other one live permanently in a WH and doesn't pvp at all. Doesn't have the skills. The only time she spends out of the POS is hauling stuff and scanning and avoidance is the key. If she gets caught she is soft soft soft. I do PVP on my main but I'd say only about 25% of the time when I'm in low. I do other things and although I try to be as ready for it as possible avoidance in every way possible is the word of the day because I'm more then likely as you describe it in a 'softer' fitted ship because of tradeoffs. When I PVP I'm just as likely to be with someone else in a logi ship as well.

I guess technically I could be called a PVPer because I do it both proactively and reactively in low but I'm hardly some '24/7 in search of pvp' low sec citizen. Alot of the time my low sec 'pvp' is surviving till help comes or making an escape. lol Most of my corp mates are similar. PVP is great and fun but it's not everything or desired all of the time. (like when running low sec exploration sites)
