I'm going to encourage your continued trolling by saying it's probably over 9000.

I'd say every few of a bunch. Really problematic.

Ganking happened before there was ISBoxer.. Ganking will continue after its banned.





Life.. it uh.. uh... it finds a way.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I presume that ganks will happen only there will be more people enjoying it.

Nobody knows except CCP, it's really that simple. How could one know all or even a rough percentage of the ISBoxers that operate in highsec? If that were possible why would they share it in a thread in GD? Are you really that daft?

I just can't figure on the metric for this. The objective of botting or IsBoxer use was stats or profit. Suicide ganking was always hit or miss in both and the motivation appeared to come from somewhere else.

How do you figure it is hit or miss? I make plenty of profit by understanding the odds and requirements to make profit, and depending on what stats you choose to create metrics from, my stats are also quite good.

It's probably an integer.

Actually there is essentially a 0% chance that it is an integer...assuming the percentage is not 0 or 100, and given the large sample size.

I know of three people that use ISBoxer to gank.

Two of them started as a way to apply pressure to CCP to ban ISBoxer. The third started for profit.

I would estimate that the proportion of empire suicide ganks carried out by ISBox fleets is between 1% and 3%, probably closer to 1%.


What interests me is that this will dramatically increase the income made by legitimate miners.

This is very true...besides, the majority of ISBox users are not PvPers, but rather carebears. I think it's rather ammusing that it is assumed that it is gankers who use ISBoxer..when quite the opposite is true. I see it effecting ganker very little, if at all. Smile

Veers you realize he only said that because he knew you would dispute it right?
