The sec buff alone saves you around 2 weeks of grinding NPCs in null per gank session.

Just a small point, Infinity Ziona. The majority of New Order gankers sport a sec status of well below 0. This status is maintained, and not repaired.

The reason is that we have gank alts/mains, specifically used for the purpose. Our other alts/mains (with higher sec status) do the work which requires them to maintain those higher levels.

The only gankers you're likely to find using tags to improve their status are those with perhaps a single account, or other constraints. I don't know of any, but you may have encountered one or two in your fact-gathering tours of Atlantis...

Lowsec inhabitants also benefited from that new feature, as did anyone in New Eden needing a quick solution to an urgent problem.

Yeah recycling alts is another problem, so is the ability to gank so easily with low level characters, as are some of the other changes which reduced sec loss.

No one said the ease of ganking was only because of tags.


The only people claiming ganking is easy are people who've never done it.

Except I have done it. Its easy.

I've done every form of PvP including ganking. its easier than all of them. Only thing that comes close to ease of ganking is hotdropping a ratter with a fleet of blops but that still requires hunting, being counter dropped and tackling. Ganking is as easy as gate camping but without the requirement of tackling, being scouted out or using expensive ships and without the risk of being jumped yourself.

Its easy mode carebearism dressed up by most as PvP however its actually PvE since its designed to remove counterplay meaning you're really interacting with a ingame object that has no player skill input. Somewhat similar to the 2003 spawn camping in which you appeared uncloaked before loading and where killed without being able to react.

stop being a victim blaming POS. Suicide ganking works because its so unexpected.

High sec has become a haven for risk-averse grief monkeys.

You have to be an idiot to not see the issue here.

Already CCP have taken away the ability to loot plex but that still probably too little to deter them.

Imagine if suicide gankers didn't feel so safe in high sec and didn't have so much incentive not to leave it.


You have never been -5 to -10 have you? Because you talk bullpoo.

Just ignore that idiot.

Well said Herzog, that was totally what I felt. It became meaningless as a war because CCP have made it too easy for them and were protecting them, that is why I thought nope, no reason to continue.

Also I love their comments about AG failing, because why do gankers use bombers, that was due to the wonderful Brad Neece who you mention who is still there doing his stuff, but his freighter bumping omen knocking the freighter out of Catalyst optimal cost those gankers a lot, so Mr Pig they fail do they? Shocked In a game where people were actually fair about their oppoenents the gankers would acknowledge that, and this is again showing the weakness of the gankers and their having to over do the meta on the forums.


Some people will never understand that everything is rigged, in this case it is CCP's right to rig their game however they like. Just like a lottery scratchcard. I don't care what anyone says or how much what I say annoys you but there are ways to avoid being ganked and it is our way of thinking that can get us into a gank situation. By nature people rush and want to move all their investments in one go. People are obsessed with having the best of everything there are lots of shiny ships waiting to be ganked.

Eve is a game that can punish you severely if you make the wrong choice. I'm afraid its the players that make it easy for the gankers.

I see it used in a lot of games by the no-life neckbeards that are jealous of people who do things they will never do. Things like getting a tan, living in their own home, having a full time job, talking to a real woman, etc.

You'd think being called a casual would be a source of pride.

But that is the key part, if it is so obviously rigged I can choose not to participate and say why which I and Herzog have, the speed at which the EHP of the wrecks got upgraded was shocking even for me who knew of the bias.

Yesterday I moved about 650k m3 in two DSTworth about 4bn, it took me multiple trips, there was only one trip where I was worth ganking, and that included the overheated tank in my calculations, people should note that DST's have a heat bonus and that with bling mods you can seriously ruin peoples day if they do try to gank you. I agree with you, too many people make it too easy, you learnt that yourself too and I am not gloating either. Someone tried to gank my badger when I just started playing and failed, because I had fitted a tank.

People with a brain should have a look at the end game of freighter moving, which is a webber for the freighter set to fast align against a sensor boosted blackbird to suicide tackle to enable the Mach to get on them. Go and do the maths and then real life tests on the test server.

I will use a jump reighter in hisec, which will have emergency cyno's ready to go, I should also point out that the freighter service for my alliance does not use freighters from Jita, doesn't that say it all.


Remiel stated that people who say ganking is easy said that we have not ganked, well Herzog has ganked as have I as antii-gankers, but I had a ganker account for obvious reasons and that one did gank a lot. On my own as an AG it was difficult, with CODE and Miniluv organisation it was damn easy.

Finally just to point out that I post on the forums with Dracvlad and Lucas and that is it, well one other toon once after Malcanis was stupid, but that was fun.

Casual, yes it is a trigger word, because causal play is the issue for Eve which is mainly why subscriptions have tanked. But there are enough people playing for it still to be fun. o7

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

The hardest pve in EVE is also perfectly doable by solo players multi boxing and earns a lot more Isk.

Your freighter can also entirely counter a 100 man gank fleet using a single alt in a web ship.

I'm talking about PvP. You know how many freighters I've killed in low null wh? Single digits soloing / multiboxing.

You know how many I could kill per day in high? Likely as many or more than my 15 years total playing EvE, per day, ganking with multiboxed bombers. That's how ridiculously easy it is. That is wrong. Those who go out to null, low and WH should be rewarded not idiots hiding behind concord exploiting a broken system.

As for freighters being webbed, there is the issue with suicide points to consider.

Agreed. Not sure how we can reasonably buff ganking to fix the issue. Maybe longer CONCORD response times? Personally, I like Black Pedro's idea of essentially deleting bumping (for freighters, anyway), but making pointing a freighter a suspect level offence. While a nerf to ganking overall, it should make for some interesting ganker vs anti-ganker encounters.

Could easily say the same for gankers, why not get out of highsec.

I'd like to see ganking go back to a more solo enterprise where the individual would be trying to make a profit. In groups like CODE, where they get funding, there is less reason to gank for profit over fun. I'd also like to see highsec income lowered so there aren't so many shiny ships in high worth ganking. It makes perfect sense the best content should put you at risk, and allow you to afford the tools to (try) defend yourself. The lower end content though should be in highsec, shouldn't pay that well, but shouldn't require much effort to keep from dying.

Doesn't matter. Running an incursion solo with a dozen alts or killing a freighter with your dozen alts use the exact same things. Yet I don't see you ever calling for nerfs to highsec incursions even though multiboxing incursions earns vastly more Isk.

No. You can get that many because there is a much higher concentration of freighters in highsec. For every freighter you find taking a gate in null there are several thousand in highsec.

In effect all that needs to happen is that bumping a freighter like that is not possible and I would be fine with it, I would leave the DST loot scoop and wreck EHP as is. At least then the gankers would have to form up to catch the freighter like everyone else instead of hold it there for their leisure and the freighter pilot can use scouts to check the gankers normal areas to see if they have a fleet able to kill them instead of a single Mach and a blackbird sitting on the gate.

It never ceases to amaze me that players defend this state of affairs and then tell me Eve is a hard game, makes me ROFL, it is the saddest thing I can think about in terms of Eve, it is na hard game except when it is not.


Infinity Ziona was spot on with the risk assessment side of freighter ganking too.


People wonder why I keep posting on this subject, but it is because I find it an affront to the fact that Eve is supposed to be a tough hard game.

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

Incursions take a crapload of time and there is plenty of competition for them. They also require specialized blinged out ships. Ganking requires a bunch of SB worth max 40 mill each.

No the reason you don't get lots of freighters is not only numbers. A significant barrier is people can and will kill you for trying before you attack. People have intelligence networks and hotdrops. You can't hide behind concord. You dont have the option to afk float an alt freighter tp scoop and scoot. Its much more risky and difficult in space without concord.

Only need a point to stop initial web warp then its screwed. You could easily stick 1 point on each bomber but its not necessary.
