That would be pretty hilarious, wardec mechanics in real life

I'd like to see CCP change crimewatch so that outlaw characters ships are concorded in high sec regardless of GCC. The gankbear tears would be epic.


I'd like to see mechanical consequences enforced on any other playstyle besides gankers, since they stand alone in that regard.


Do you even play this game?


If you disagree, then please enlighten me as to what other playstyles come with mechanical consequences to even a tiny degree in comparison to ganking.


Gate camping and anything involving gate and station agro come with mechanical consequences for violencing other players that can be a hell of a lot more severe than losing a gank cat to concord. Hell, any playstyle outside high sec can come with mechanical consequences that can mean far worse losses than anything a ganker would lose in high sec.

I was talking about playstyles in highsec, since that's the theme of the whole thread and all. Mining, mission running, trading, hauling, what's left of salvaging and exploring, those all have no mechanical consequences that are inflicted just for doing them.

Ganking does. (gate camping in highsec is ganking, by the way)

Why should they have mechanical consequences? You do realize highsec stands for high security right?

Then go do something about them yourself. Quit asking CCP to do what you don't have the spine to do on your own.

Well, if you're proposing that other people have consequences inflicted on them by the game system, then why is it not okay for you? What's good for the goose is good for the gander, after all.

Oh, wait, except that you're a hypocrite.

And what it doesn't stand for is "total safety". You still have to bother defending yourself.

Asking CCP to nerf ganking is doing something about it myself.

No, it's asking for the game system to do it for you, so you don't have to.

In other words, it's the single greatest act of pure cowardice and laziness possible in this context.

Ah, so just for your own personal amusement. Driven by selfishness based on personal enjoyment for you and an underlying belief that someone else's play is less worthy than yours. Typical of a lot of change proposals.

You do realize that high sec has rules against illegal aggression right? Why should carebears receive consequences for playing within the rules of high sec? That makes no sense. And how am I a hypocrite?

And no it's not "total safety", nor should it be. It also shouldn't be risk free player targets for people to risk averse to pew in low and null.

No, ganking bears is definitely more cowardly and lazy.

No, it has consequences for shooting other people without justification.

Why should gankers have more consequences just because you can't be asked to defend yourself correctly?


Quote:

It's rather common carebear behavior, actually.

That's not our fault. It's yours, for never defending yourselves and never bothering to fight back.

Inflict consequences yourself, or shut up and get used to being the victim.

So? Carebear is a state of mind, not a profession.

The US are not a corporation. Sony, Nissan, GM, Coca-Cola, P&G can not use Nato to declare war on each other.
