More danger/content subs grow, the more nerfs that happened to danger/content the worse the subs got.

Obviously, it just means we can't have lazy ganker any more. They have to be organized enough to be on grid within 3 minutes of the bump. Lazy haulers/miners should get ganked every time, and lazy gankers who aren't organized for the gank should have a harder time catching people. That seems reasonable to me.

high sec ganking seems active as ever to me



At a record low.

heck systems like Uedama are still so lethal that they are black holes....


Thousands pass through for every ship killed, including the gankers to concord.

castrating high sec content creators? Uedama says otherwise. as its literally a high sec SIEGE system that "content creates" anyone dumb enough to go in.

and systems like Osmon are still very active.


Mining barge profitable ganking, jetcan piracy, targeted wardecs, ninja salvaging, jetcan baiting of pirates are just a few things removed from the game.

gotta remember high sec is not low sec.
but despite that, high sec is still pretty dangerous. which is fine as it is now.


It has a fraction of the content it used to have.

plus, high sec "content creators" don't seem to have problems war deccing everyone who comes through the jita stargate. they do it like its free candy.

They are now forced to do that due to recent nerfs.

I think it's amazing how you can take anything, flip it, twist it, and serve it to your purpose. I wonder if you really believe this delusion, or you're just trying to sell it for your cause.


My cause being the return of a ton of content that has been removed to keep idiots happy who then subsequently quit because they made their own game boring.

What are you guys talking about with "bumping mechanics" and ganking? Did CCP outlaw bumping or something?


A change is coming sometime where a ship automatically enters warp after three minutes of hitting the 'warp' button even if they are being bumped.

So no more bumping someone for an hour while trying to get a gank fleet together.


Then they die in 2.5 minutes.

More likely they'll just be suicide pointed in 2.5 minutes. Then probably suicide pointed again 2, 3 or 5 more times before then finally being ganked. The only thing (probably) going away is no-cost, hours long bumping for ransom although it's true we haven't heard any details.

In fact, it has been almost 6 months though without another word from CCP. One has to wonder at this point if they ran across an intractable problem deep in the physics code and have dropped the whole idea?

Oh don't worry. Slowly but surely the "idiots" are leaving and the game will be left just for you smarties to do as you please. It's very good reason for you to rejoice. Just hang on a bit longer.

Look at the numbers in 0.0 they look down about 60% on EvEs high times but there is still lots of activity there.

Look at these very forums, it is the wolves mostly left after all these years.

Just go for a fly around Hi-sec, the great mining fleets have gone. Look at the NPC kills in Hi-sec, most of the mission runners have gone.

As I said the wolves have been a victim of there own success. Over the years I have seen lots of miners leave because of Ganking, mostly because there is no-consequences for the majority of these gankers, they just make a new alt.

To use the old wild west analogy miners are unarmed victims and that would get you hung. In EvE it got you a slight security penalty until you did it enough that you need to re-roll a new character.

The wolves won. The sheep left.

The CSM gets in the way of CCP communicating properly with the players of this game.

After all we are not just players, we are customers.

Time for the CSM to be disbanded.

If it was not the PVE players who had left, these forums would be full of miners complaining that the cost of minerals had tanked and that CCP was making it easier to gank them, to try and get the wolves back.

The reality of the situation is hard to argue with, the fact is this thread is called " why does it seem like CCP is castrating high sec content creators" and not "why is CCP making it easier to kill miners". CCP have a lot of wolves left, but not very many sheep. They want the sheep to return.

It has always been the wolves who scream the loudest, the sheep have just voted with their wallets and finally CCP is hearing the message.

The CSM gets in the way of CCP communicating properly with the players of this game.

Another piece is where in space people choose to live. I've seen a significant portion of people permanently leave HS to PvE in low, null or WHs over the last few years. The reward is better, and in many cases it's just as safe. That means targets are out there, but ganking and wardeccing groups would have to leave HS themselves to find those targets. Adapt or die applies to all groups. Maybe it's time for HS gankers to leave HS to find content.

I personally enjoy solo PvE. I do 95% of it in low, null or WHs any more, so yes you could say the threat of being ganked pushed me out of HS. Operation successful, right? Wasn't that part of the point? Now the hunters need to follow people like me to keep getting kills.

Ok. Bingo card full. Well done sir.

Well that is ok then. CCP are must not be making Hi-sec safer and they are must be trying to get more wolves into the game to counter the huge numbers of miners and mission runners.

So no real point to all these ganker complaints in this thread then. It must be a paradise for the small numbers of gankers who remain, CCP can safely ignore the gankers as a bunch of whiners.

CCP can safely ignore all whiners, no matter who they are. They generally lack objective facts and go purely on their own unvalidated opinion. You're starting to be a good example of that.

Now it is my policy to always fly like I'm in low/null/WH when doing activities that require discretion, if anything CCP devs had made it easier to "interact" involuntarily.

They did, for years and let the gankers and pvpers run a muck.

Now they are so low in subs that they are having to make the game Free to Play, to try and get people back.

And all that will only bring some sheep back until packs of wolves using free accounts drive them off as well.

The fact are obvious to those who choose to see them.

No need to beg, but ok.

None of those things you mentioned have much to do with ganking.

The "facts" you are claiming, aren't facts at all. They are opinion. Unvalidated ones at that.

As an example, you claim sub numbers dropping has making CCP have to introduce F2P. However, where is your evidence that this is the reason? Isn't it also equally likely that over the last couple of years CCP have been using evidence-based decision making much more frequently. We saw that with CCP Rise back in 2014 showing that only 1% of people that leave the game claim in game griefing as the reason. That stat has been focussed on a lot, but the most interesting aspect of it is that leaves 99% of other reasons that people have provided and we know that the subscription fee also falls in that 99% (just not how much). Isn't it also likely that CCP are just resoonding to what they are seeing from that? Nothing to do with what you claim.

Did you actually watch that presentation? What they actually said is 1% of New players. Also most people had not been ganked as a NEW player and seriously the imbalance in ganking is not from when you are a new player and lose so little but when you are older and lose a lot more. As New players 99% probably leave because of the learning curve, they always did. Its that a lot of others have left in droves that is the problem.

I will admit subs were lost due to CCPs legendary customer service and the fact they have promised so much and delivered so little small a percentage of their promises over the years.

Oh and my evidence is CCPs financial accounts they have been falling for years, first due to spending money on stupid projects and the last few have just been a fall in revenue from eve.

Yes I've watched that presentation and the 1% wasn't really the part relevant to the point. The point was about CCP using feedback from customers and analysis of other data to make business decisions; and their data analysis being just as likely a reason for their decisions.

So where is your evidence of what you claim as "facts"?

If you are going to claim you know the facts, then show they are facts and not just fantasy in your head.
