Why do people assume how we play the game reflects us in real life?

We literally said the opposite. We want realistic counterplay where none exists. Not undocking isn't counterplay, it's non-existent play. For that to happen, ganking, among other things, needs to change.


No you aren't. That is my point. The people getting ganked...they are not availing themselves of the counter play options they already have. Changing the mechanics anymore is not going to change that because the issue is with this specific subgroup of players, not the mechanics.

Clearly this point is just too subtle for you.

If people are refusing to use counter measures now, why do you think they will use counter measures in the future?

That is the question you obstinately refuse to answer.

Probably because the answer is, they won't.

This, so much this!!!!!

When the going gets tough the Gankers get their CSM rep to change mechanics in their favour.

See, he wants to make ganking harder. Because he knows the people getting ganked are being stupid in game. There things they can do NOW to mitigate the risk of getting ganked, BUT THEY REFUSE TO USE THEM.

So address this short coming on the part of those getting ganked Lucas wants to nerf the gankers.

It is literally a horrible policy. And unfortunately one that CCP has endorsed...oh and look at the graphs fro Tranquility over at Eve Offline. How is that working...like ****.
