If the pilots job is to protect cargo and not the ships job, why do ships have armor values? Why not just have detachable bubbles on a space crane that you can just rip off with a tractor? Roll

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

Seriously they should remove cargo scanners. Turn ganking into a gamble.

Then it is actually a risk vs reward. rather than a small loss vs a huge gain.

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.

Too many gankers would complain because they have gotten used to ganking on easy mode.


The biggest issue is that the losses to the ganker are trivial and frequently re-imbursed, and the losses to the ganked can be quite a bit even though they can frequently afford it.

Its a win win for the ganker in regard to the Isk exchance and content creation at the expense of the ganked who loses in both accounts with little reasonable recourse. It really is just grief-play.

Suicide gankers DO like their carebear-safe ganking mechanics. To make it risky for them would make them quit the game, and we don't want carebears to quit, do we?
