Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Gankers are an isk control for empire bears. They make bears lose isk from to time. They keep empire isk under some control. A Bear makes 3 billion in one month but gets ganked in thier 1.5 bil isk maker....they only net 1.5 billion. Although harsh, this is economic balance of sorts.

You see, other regions like 0.0/WH/Low Sec have isk control via less restricted pvp. take me for example. I lived in delve at some point. One day I killed me an officer spawn. Stuff to jita, +1.x billion to my wallet for about 5 minutes of work. yay me...I was rich as this was before the economy got so inflated and 1 billion isk was some damn good isk.

And 2 weeks later my alliance went on a road trip. And in the meat grinder ops to secure our beachhead and push in for more space I lost several hundred millions in isk in pvp losses. So out of 1 bil gross from o-gear I sold I netted maybe 200-300 mil. This would be isk control.

Not every gate camp in high sec is a suicide gank squad. Sometimes they are at war with a corp and are trying to limit movement or traffic from that specific group. Kills are not always the only goal in the wardec.

Yet another crap idea in this forum, by yet another idiot who doesn't know how to play ~the eve~.

If you don't like gate camps, then there is a simple fix for you. Grab a couple of your buddies and go break it up. The original idea of EVE (that CCP and the rest of you idiots seem to have forgotten) is that the best thing it provides is emergent game play. (Yeah, when's the last time you heard that being banded about in a keynote?)

You cannot simply change the rules of the world because you do not like them, and certainly not when there are many different ways in which you can already overcome gate camping. As such, limiting something that people have been doing for 11 years because it's unfair to you is stupid.

Back in the day, EVE was hard... AND IT WAS AWESOME. We had no warp to zero, the closest you could get was 15KM (yeah yeah, bookmarks...) and gate camps were a bigger problem then, and you had to actually fight your way out of it if you got caught. Any smart person wouldn't get caught anyways because you'd use a scout to see if it was safe and if it wasn't, you'd wait it out. EVE is a game that rewards patience, or at least, was. Sadly these days CCP is far too accepting to give all you ADHD mongoloids instant gratification and is usually born out of terrible threads like this.
