It's not that ganking is on the rise, it's just better publicised than it used to be.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Propaganda.

CODE is miniscule and irrelevant,
therefore the need to make noise.

... the kids would stop screaming.

Instead, the sheep eat literally every **** thrown at them.

That's one way of putting it I guess :P

And I'll be honest, before CODE I only thought ganks happened to miners that they genuinely thought were bots, and the occasional bunched up fleet of mining ships easy to smartbomb.

1) The carebear (the ones you talk about) is dangerous for this game, because as you said, they want CCP to change the game in order to have a 1337% safe, bot-aspirant highsec mining income. They are lobbying and creating a pressure on CCP to be always safe in highsec (Concord buffs etc.)


Not that I care much one way or the other but I'd point out that carebears are no more dangerous than any other players. What's dangerous is when ccp start catering to a specific group whoever they are. Then its not a sandbox anymore.

I would say they are more solid than runny due to it being lumpy. Kinda like one the day after a heavy drinking session and a kebab that was a bit too big but you ate it all anyway.

I too dislike suicide ganking. I dislike it so much that I have devoted all of my accounts to doing it. I just can't see why people would want to blow up freighters and haulers, I mean they can't even fight back! In addiion its not like those killing them have to do any work at all, like scanning for hours to find someone who is in the act of being a dumb.

Sheesh, I agree suicide ganking should be just totally removed from the game. It's not like it adds anything to the game such as the following :

Ship destruction, mineral destruction, blueprint destruction, isk inflation, plex destruction, removal of everything and anything that can fit in the cargo of a ship increasing the prices of said items, causing less skilled pilots to quit eve after losing all of their isk, feeding trolls tears(important), contributing to the scientific theory of Darwinism's cause.

Trolling aside, if it wasn't for people like me, high sec would be untamed, and everyone would just make isk and be happy. I don't like people being happy. Twisted

Many of those ganked and pod killed were in empty freighters, or shuttles, or pretty much any ship is targetted just for the sake of getting a kill and hoping to kill a pod full of implants.

I wonder how many cancel their subscription.



No one canceled their subscription. Everyone knows that happens in eve.

This is a true story.

An all expanded freighter w/ only 2 PLEX in the hold was purified in the Holy Anti-matter tonight. And we're the bad guys?
