Saying otherwise goes against 11 years of explicit developer intention. If *you* don't expect violence in some part of EVE, that's on you for not educating yourself about the game you choose to play.

You are arguing in absolutes.
Nobody seems to be saying suicide ganking shouldn't be possible.
All you are doing is demonstrating your failure to understand the arguments. |

Good because it is... It's also preventable...
Like many have said over, over, and over.

CCP's statement does not leave room for interpretation.
This is a PvP game.
The end.

Since we've already addressed all your "arguments" and you've refused to provide any evidence to support your claims, why shouldn't we point out that Veers is confused about the nature of the game he chooses to play when he suggests that HS is not a place where destruction is expected.

Exactly and this is why they fail. Maybe they should read the guide or even do some research about Eve... They would know better then.
Not expecting PVP in a PVP game is asking for failure. |

Check my killboard....see any suicide ganks pulled off? I'm spacerich and confident in my abilities. A lot of highsec players are poor, are not looking for PvP, and are emotionally hurt when someone comes and blows their stuff up just to inflict misery. |

Which is not a game mechanics problem. Glad we're finally in agreement.
The New Player FAQ makes it clear. The advertisements make it clear. The damn tutorial makes it clear. Your boat can be violenced at any time by anyone.

All in all the idea of high sec ganking is fine. My only wish would be that something be done a bit about bumping. No matter how good a pilot you are, once someone starts to bump you, you are kind of toast. Very few counters to it and most involve luck.
I think that would be the part that would frustrate me the most. Try as I might, I couldnt save my ship from being pushed off the gate.
Granted I know nothing will be done about bumping, since really nothing can be done. Just my wishful thinking. |

I actually proposed a fix. If CONCORD spawns post gank attempt, you would get 60 seconds to warp off where you would be unaffected by bumping. This would not help you survive the initial gank attempt, but it would at least mean they would only get one shot at you. |

So, I just thought I'd do a smidge of math here.
According to the ticker on this thread, there has be 79,200 views of this thread alone.
Now, if just 1% of those views generated one purchase of New Order stock, the CODE wallet will have expanded by 792,000,000 ISK.
That's 158 Meta 4 fit gank Catalysts, or 52 T2 fit Cats, at current reimbursement rates.
Using a 3:1 ratio for meta fits, and a 1:1 for T2, that rounds out to around ~52 ganks.
So, what all this means is, Veers Belvar and company, thank you for your work keeping CODE's wallet flush with ISK. Every post is another chance to inspire further donations to the cause.

Yeah, it's actually the only relevant point, besides the one where CCP themselves state that they are happy with the current state of the mechanics.

It's about people demanding that the delusions brought on by their entitlement mindset be catered to.

CODE has basically unlimited ISK already. Hopefully this thread has caused CCP to think about curbing the abuse of bumping and imposing grinding requirements on CODE, which would have far more affect on the operation than a bit more isk coming in so you guys can blow up empty ships. |

Unfortunately I just see that as being too easy. 60 seconds is along time and a bit OP. I can understand the frustration of being ganked. I am a horrible PVPer, and I hate losing ships, especially expensive ones, however that is the game.
If anything would be done in my mind, it would be to fix how bumping works. Instead of a frigate completely re aligning a freighter when bumping it, the mass of the two ships should be more accurate. A freighter should have enough power in its engines to push a small frigate out of the way, and its mass should be able to compensate for moderate impacts. So a freighter should still be able to reach warp velocity even while being bumps, unless multiple ships are on it.
I realize this is kind of how the current mechanics are but the collision isnt horribly accurate.
Just a random though.

I love how someone like you, who stridently demands "you can't force me to PvP", is perfectly fine with forcing people to PvE when they don't want to.

So why do you keep calling for exactly that?
