Is it herassessmeant if someone says they are going to to camp you in station until you undock so they can gank you. Also is is it ganking if you are red to that persons alliance? Also what makes people so mad that they would camp you forever

Thankfully they are few and far between

I think we can break down the term to easily define it.

Her assess meant

Her is denoting a female presence, assess means to evaluate or judge, and meant is the past form of mean which is to convey, indicate or refer to.

So no, I don't think station camping has anything to do with a woman who tried to convey judgement.

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

I don't think the goddess Hera likes being assessed. Even if you meant it.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Dammit, U@E..... this is the 4th time in the last month you've post-sniped me with an almost identical comment!

You're asking because you don't know.

"Harassment" is against the EULA and if you suspect you are a victim of it, I strongly encourage you to file a support ticket to contact the GMs about it. Nobody on the forums can help you, as this is not a support venue.

"Ganking" is a player-defined term and generally refers to suddenly and unexpectedly overwhelming someone with numbers or firepower, typically resulting in their explosion. I do not believe standings (being blue or red) have anything to do with it.

Any number of things may make people mad and want to camp you, especially in the realm of nullsec politics, which you are part of by being a member of a sovereignty-holding alliance. They could also just be bluffing you, trying to intimidate you, trying to extort you or your friends, or any number of other motivations.

Hope this helps.

On the of chance that the OP is serious...

Only if they continue doing it over and over again over the course of weeks despite your best efforts to avoid it (either by moving to the other side of the map, changing tactics, etc).

File a petition if you feel strongly about it.

metalravenous wrote:

Not exactly.

Being set "Red" simply means that you are "disliked" or a "target" to some people.

"Ganking" is a loose term. It more or less means that a person is quickly blown up without any real "battle" taking place.

And "ganking" by itself is not considered "harassment." That is just normal gameplay.

metalravenous wrote:

"What's your pet peeve?"

Generally that is what being targeting boils down to. Someone did not like what you said or did.

Or it could be "just because." Though, getting camped in for a week usually means that you did something to **** people off. Or that you made yourself a VERY juicy target.

Camping isn't harassment. Shooting your ship multiple times isn't harassment.
You're obviously red to them for a reason.

My guess is you decided to rat, mine, or run complexes in a lowsec system that has already been settled, and the locals aren't happy about it.
Pirates need to make ISK, too.

Find another sandbox to play in, or stop lonewolfing, and get some mates together to take that system away from the people currently living there, if you can.
Crying to the devs is only going to make you more of a target. Not understanding that this is a PvP game where in-game crime is allowed, is only going to make things worse for yourself.

Welcome to EVE. HTFU, learn to shoot back, and "GF in local".

(PS: I actually mean all that in the nicest and most helpful way possible)

You're asking because you don't know.



A period ( . ) indicates a statement, whereas a question mark ( ? ) indicates a interrogative sentence. What I did there, was actually an example of a rhetorical question, which is a figure of speech in the form of a question that is asked in order to make a point, rather than to elicit an answer. Though classically stated as a proper question, such a rhetorical device may be posed declaratively by implying a question, and therefore may not always require a question mark when written.

But you knew this, seeing as that you used the same device. Therefore, you deserve a golf clap.

I think the OP has been into the Southern Comfort and that it is also his corp name is not coincidental.

"Herassessmeant... Herassessmeant... oh dammit, there's this guy who keeps bugging me.."

... so they can promptly forget about it and/or send you a message that equates to "the logs show nothing".

CCP is not serious about Harassment unless it potentially threatens their public image as a whole.

its only harassment if after you got ganked and woke in a clone that single guys keeps following you. station camping is not really harassment. But as isd said file a petition, no one on the forums can answer that question except CCP.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
