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. 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. Because you haven't read the thread.. The agreement on Skiffs in that thread is that their yield:cargo:tank is way too out of whack compared to the other Exhumers. |

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.

It is unbalanced game play. I do not think it is fair that if i pop a miner in .5 system, i cant warp out. I am stuck until concord gets there 20 seconds later and pops me. Does that seem fair. If they want it realistic, then i should be able to run from them like the Duke Boys :) |

You must be high, I've never made money by ganking. Even on the rare occasion that a gank makes more than it costs, that isk goes right into paying for the next gank that will not pay a dime.
Ganking freighters is a bit of a different story, but only the idiocy of the pilots makes ganking freighters financially justifiable.
Your idea would not affect those guys really, so freighters would still be dying. Sure miners wouldn't be dying as much, but those deaths stimulate the economy and everyone benefits from that.
EDIT: After reading the rest of this thread I see you are in fact not a blathering idiot and are instead a rational and reasonable human being. I dislike your suggestion and do not think it would do anything but harm to Eve.

The more I think about this, the devil is actually in the details.
What if, for instance, GCC was multiplicative like jump fatigue, but the 'initial' cooldown was, say, 15 seconds instead of the current 15 minutes of docking, waiting, perhaps contacting your victim to present them with a small survey of their experience.
So one could, in theory, go on a murderous ganking rampage and end up with a gigantic, exponential, GCC timer, then simply log off, bloodthirst momentarily slaked.
It's almost certainly not what the OP intended, but could be more interesting than the current steady diet of max 4 kills/hr regardless of gameplay choices. Never let it be said that I'm unwilling to admit I bypassed an idea with potential. |

You lost me at 'defenseless ships'. Last I knew the best defense any ship had wasn't in it's modules so much as a wily pilot at the helm. Flying a non-combat oriented vessel automatically puts a pilot in the role of 'prey'. How they operate said ship determines what kind of prey they are. Being an easy or hard target is entirely up to them, but one of those choices isn't 'easymode'. For some reason this offends some of the more gentle-hearted members of the herd. |

This. A dilligent miner in a Hulk that pays attention to all sources of intel available to them through the client should never be ganked in empire space, unless caught on a gate or by a very lucky hunter.

Ganking freighters is a bit of a different story, but only the idiocy of the pilots makes ganking freighters financially justifiable. On average I guess I break even when ganking miners. That's mostly due to the fact that I will use cheap meta catas whenever possible, even if that means I might lack the dps to squish the pod after the barge pops and I try to recover as much as I can from my CONCORDed boats and try to scoop up loot. Should I start using more T2 catalysts (which is prolly where I'm headed), it can become quite the ISK sink for your personal wallet.
Also, the carebear community will always ***** and moan about ISK. If we make money of off ganks: "OMG, THEY MAKEZ MONIEZ OF GANKS IN HI SEC NO FAIR!1!! NERF!!!". If we gank an empty freighter: "OMG NAO THEY DON"T EVEN GANK FOR PROFITZ ANYMOAR BUT FOR LULZ NO FAIR!1!! NERF!!!".
The tragedy of threads like this being: even if we implemented every idea from the OP, there would still be ganking (just less) and there would still be people like the OP that would find the mechanics unfair asking for "One More Nerf". Now it's "he can gank 10 ships a day, why can you be a repeat offender in HISEC?!?!!", then it would be:"he can gank 10 ships a week, why can you be a repeat offender in HISEC?!?!?!". This will continue until every form of non consensual PVP is banned from highsec, at which point they will prolly switch to whining about consensual PVP "cuz it's easy to make a mistake accepting a duel/wardec." or "not a fair fight, noob vs veteran, we should all have the same skillz and equipment in PVP". After they managed to get consensual PVP destroyed too they will be asking for private instances for their mining and other PvE activities.... |

not true, even being dilligent 1 not all gankers have a negative status 2 it doesnt have to be a noob ship to be a warp in, another barge pilot could be used as a warp in

Unless they're a first-time ganker, they have a killboard history which should give you clues. If you suspect a barge pilot may be a warp in for gankers, kill them or move well away from them.

Does that seem fair? If they want it realistic, then i should be able to run from them like the Duke Boys :) Agreed. I support this idea of removing CONCORD's instant warp-disruption because currently, it's nonsense. In 0.5 systems for example, they're like 20 seconds late, but still they magically scramble criminals ship instantly. How is that possible? (and ironically, the notification still says "-PlayerName- criminals are not welcome here. Leave now or be destroyed". How can they "leave" with that instant and divine warp scramble anyway? Lol.)
Such nerf will have positive effects: 1) The ganker, upon succesfully killing the retriever, will have a chance to warp away and then come back to gank another (isn't it what they called "Boomerang ganking"?) It's more fun, exciting and challenging for the ganker.
2) ECM white knights will add Warp Disruptors to their fitting so that they can point the ganker (forcing him to wait for the CONCORD arrival) while also permajamming him (which is great fun ). In other words, CONCORD's current instant and nonsense warp disruption will be replaced by real player interaction (a player's warp disruption). This is more fun for the antiganker too. I still remember the fun I had with my ECM Skiff at the ice belts of Piekura, where I used point and permajam almost any Catalyst that attempted to gank a nearby miner. That is the result of what could be called the true spirit of EVE: PvP, real player interaction and fun. not God-like NPC Police.

That's right, you should be suspicious of anyone, that's part of the 'being dilligent'. Hint: if someone is hugging your ship, chances are they are providing a warp in.
Back in my mining days I was quite paranoid, I basicly checked on everyone coming through the belt I was mining in. If I didn't trust things, I'd dock up or at the very least moved my ship. Hell, I was paranoid about warp-ins b4 I even knew the mechanic existed. I was rewarded by never being succesfuly ganked for my paranoia. |

This is exactly true.
And even if someone cloaky is used as a warpin - a dilligent miner will be pre-aligned to something, will see 2 or more gank ships on D-scan, and will get the hell out.
It's not hard. And the only thing that can gank a person with that level of dilligence is a sizable number of ships that can warp cloaked - which is not ISK efficient or even close unless you are mining in an officer fit ship.

even being aligned isnt enough as it takes time to spool up, you have to have 2 spots you pace back and forth so you dont go to far from what you are mining.
and if you want to warp our every little ship on your dscan then you will also never accomplish anything
just like freighter pilots, even the ones not on AP get ganked as the ships are far to slow and even with a tank they die, but most dont have a tank, nor does ccp falcons idiotic rant on having guns nor logi work as i watched a freighter with a logi fleet get bumped and die between 2 fleet attacks

Heaven forbid that you might need to bounce between *several* align points. Even mission runners have to do more complex things than that - they have to master the use of acceleration gates.
Freighters can't defend themselves, but they absolutely can have escorts. You've established that a purely logi escort didn't help - try a different escort configuration next time.
