Ganking miners seems to be the equivalent of mining imo.

Some people just thrive off of provoking an emotional response. The problem with slavery is that only half of the manacles are visible. The Holder, supposed master, is equally bound by the gilded chains of privilege and wealth. Sorrowful is the state of humanity, which shall never be free until all share equally in Liberty.

It seems its a lot more fun for us sociopaths, then for the common folk!
Honestly though, it never gets old, the interactions you get from killing a squishy miner who would otherwise ignore you and the rest of the players in game if you didn't step in are great.
I like to play my MMO's with other people, shooting red crosses or rocks in space gets old, much faster then kill those people that do it instead.

just curious Actually I think it's more like mowing down pedestrians for the lols, except they then sperg allover local and the forums about it afterwards in hilarious torrents of tears and accusations of psychological disorders.

I prefer ganking freighters. Fleets tend to be more fun.
Got bumping, warping, scouting, and multi-system chases going down.
But you want reasons?
Main reason?
Small numbers needed, even at higher sec status. Especially considering how an anti-tanked barge is more than often what you are going to find in HS. "B-b-but........MY EFFICIENCY!!!" Single most used reason why tank is eschewed in favor of yield mods...or worse...mods that literally make zero sense. Like warp stabs or inertia stabs.
Other reasons?
Teaching the realities of a world in which non-consensual PvP exists...to people who shell up and play EVE as a single player game.
Market manipulation + target hunting. Sell your ORE Strips, and then watch list the person that buys them.
Cutting out your own mining competition.
And of course, tears.
However, if tears are really what people are after, a single miner gank is facile.
Why gank one or two miners.....
....when you can just join the corp, build trust, and safari the whole mining op?
Your effort to tears ratio goes through the roof during such events.
Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense. |

Its not ganking its a vaccine against risk aversion. This post was loving crafted by a member of the Official GoonWaffe recruitment team. Improve the forums, support this idea: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=345133 |

It depends on how you do it... It can be that boring if you pick easy targets but sometimes not.
Try solo ganking macks in a 0.7 system. Do you ship scan your targets? Oh wait you will tip off the target if he's not afk... You can just go in blind but it's so close anything can make you fail. He has a DC fitted... You warped in out of optimal. You took too long to target and shoot.
Yes it's not as exciting as lowsec roaming but not as boring as ice mining. |

Less people mining = less ressources on the market Less ressources = higher price higher price = you make more cash as a good miner
There you go, simple economics. Seriously, if you are getting killed while mining, its because your fit sucks. Get tankier. |

I'm tired so I suppose I may have been a little lose with the analogy, I'll edit to clarify.

Ah gotcha... I remember GTA. I never really got too interested in that game. I like Eve because there are so many different things you can do and ganking being only one. Like everything in Eve it can be boring after a while. |

You should try GTA. It's seriously fun.
Especially GTA IV with ice la glands (hey hey :) realism mods and bigger explosions and mafia and realistic physics and virtualy endless radio opportunities and ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE and when you realise that you can easily plant as many cars as you want in a single spot and all you need is ONE SHOT ONE OPPORTUNITY IT'S EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED to create the biggest bonfire in the history of videogames .......

I have fond memories, but I don't find much appeal in it anymore, as for Ganking miners, I think it's more fun when they are in lowsec, ther'e more skittish and nervous and much funnier when you catch them "I'm also quite confident that you are laughing and it's the kind of laugh that gives normal people shivers."-á -á=]I[= |

Hey Ralph ... I'm sorry for not taking this thread seriously.
I contacted Dream Five yesterday and wanna know what she said?
"You are loyalanon's alt. Get lost." ... and after expressing my confusion and feeling horribly insulted ...
... she explained "you look alike".
Also: Quarantine for DOS. You play a taxi driver, can kill people, chainsaw on the car, blood, screams ... ....... Great game! I am Sol. I cook my bacon naked, with sparkles of cinnamon on my skin.
