Crime & Punishment

The game has over the years constantly changed in favor of harsher and harsher penalties for gankers. The penalties that exist now are more severe than they have ever been and concord has always gotten more and more powerful, in fact it's literally against the rules to not be killed by them.

There aren't even two sides to it, ganking has never gotten buffed, concord hasn't evern had its response times increased or capabilities reduced, just more penalties, more effective concord, shorter response times, nowadays you're even magically prevented from warping while GCC. Ganking for profit is much, much more difficult and expensive than it was even a few years ago.

Gankers have endured more direct nerfs to their playstyle than any other group of players in the game, the fact that they continue to make a profit in spite of that is a testament to their dedication and you don't find them endlessly whining on the forums to get the game changed to penalize other players because they dislike their gameplay style.

Those people are freaking saints. They take an endless shitting on from CCP and rather than complaining about it they adapt and soldier on, all the while other people who don't respect their right to play the game how they please petition CCP to make the game worse for the gankers.

Shove off, and take your desire to have other people arbitrarily punished for playing the game in a way you don't like back under whatever rocked you crawled from under.

I understand that others out there may decide that they'd like to make me explode, I do my best to deter them, I know who they are, understand what they do and who they target.

Knowledge tank, best tank.

Since I don't even stay in high sec you can crawl back under the same rock as me ;)

Don't gankers whine?

There is a thread about Skiffs being to hard to kill for a solo ganker etc so yes they whine when they don't get what they want.


But we stop here and now.

I now know that you don't like the stacked GCC.

Since there are are players that want to rebalance all defenseless ships in high sec I have a possible solution to this.

If CCP choose to listen to the ganker side of EVE they should also introduce a stackable GCC that should work like the jump fatigue mechanic.
Maybe not exactly like the fatigue counter but it should give stackable punishment so gankers need to pick their victim instead of mass ganking as they do now.
It's not fair that a ganker can travel high sec in his/her pod if sec status is -10 with no punishment at all.
It's not fair that it pays that much to be a criminal and gank, die, repeat infinite since repeated criminal activity doesn't have any form of impact on the criminal player.

So some form of stackable GCC is needed to balance the criminals advantage they have today.
Right now the defender is always the last part to pull the trigger since Concord protects criminal in an unfair way.

So if defenseless ships are being rebalanced this stackable is a good rebalance to the life of being a criminal in EVE.

So tl;dr: "I don't pay enough attention and therefore should be coddled."

Agree with OP...should be much harsher consequences for repeat criminals. Instead of 15 minutes, how about 15 hours for -10s?
