EVE General Discussion

Really? Are you truly so ignorant of the crimewatch mechanic, the security status mechanic and how flagging works, that you believe this? Gankers, especially those who do it regularly receive no protection from Concord, are generally flagged either as criminals or as outlaws, both of which mean you can shoot them in the face and Concord won't bat an eyelid or leave the doughnut stall.

If they're notorious gankers they generally have a sec status that reflects that; which means, as above, you can shoot them in the face without intervention from Concord.

You should know better, if he kills 10 unflagged pods a day his sec status is pretty much fixed at -10, no matter how many tags get bought and redeemed.

How? Once they hit a certain sec status Concord don't give two tosses if you shoot them in the face; most gankers wear their low sec status as a badge of honour in my experience. Their PvE and other alts, while Concord will visit retribution upon whomever attacks them without the appropriate flags, the players themselves will probably be taking active steps to avoid predators and thus don't tend to get caught; gankers know what it takes not to be ganked, they follow their own advice.

For Concord to be enablers they would have to be that which makes ganking possible; which they are not as ganking also happens in places where Concord don't exist. The enablers of ganking are CCP, they put in place the basic gameplay mechanic that allows you to shoot anybody in the face, at any time, anywhere in space (The Martini Option?)

You're correct in that their hisec ganking tactics are extremely unlikely to work in nullsec; rumour has it that they often go to low and null on roams albeit it using a different play-book, where they shoot at stuff that (gasp) shoots back.

It's hardly remarkable that it's hard to shoot someone who's willing to spend almost no time in space, but you started by complaining about the unshootability of a destroyer sitting on a gate.

It was stated that gankers hide behind concord, not their alts; their alts do often fall under the umbrella of Concord, I said as much in my post.

Gankers operate in highsec because they are as risk averse as the miners they hate, that's the simple reality.

You are like those fat kids who call everyone else fat because that is what they always hear from others and because they think that will hurt them equally.

If your goal, as ours is, is to control highsec you would have to be some kind of damn fool to go to low or null to fight.

Calm down miner.

Lol this thread is still going?!? Victory for the New Order! :D

Hey lucas, great job complaining about how we:

~fly cheap~ and

~have alts~

I'm sure CCP will get right on those glaring issues!

I forgot, they did ban your input-broadcasting multibox fleet. hence all the anger... tztz... Maybe you should really take my advice and calm down. I know you think you are some kind of nullsec-hero now and that makes you a better player, but it's clearly the highsec miner in you that speaks on the forums.

Nope, I never used broadcasting for my fleet. In fact up until that whole thing started I used no software to be on the safe side, but afterwards I used EVE-O preview. You'd now this of course if you actually read post rather than assuming their content. I still have all the accounts up now that SP trading is a thing (48 characters generating SP every month is pretty sweet) but I'm halted on mining for a while until I have more free time. Either way, you don't operate in any of the space I mine in, and if you did you'd be entirely ineffective.

For a moment there I forgot that everyone who has an opinion that opposes yours is obviously a crying miner though, thanks for reminding me.
