This is a kill the code didn't get thanks to an unsung hero and a good corp mate who informed LADY that she could just crash her client and fly away. Code never got 1/100th of an isk. |

I agree, and when corpses are lootable my barbie-corpse can will prove to be a wise investment.
But until then I think you should really tend your FVCKS for the monocle overlords.

Grats The fact that ganking is now the top "payday" and "pvp" style shows how indicative of the fall from grace that Eve pvp is these days. When its easier to gank, safer, more profitable than to actually fight it is scrapping the bottom of the barrel of the pvp gene pool.
Thats sad as I have ganked personally, as well as have ganking toons. I loved the ideas of Eve piracy. I had toons I used to haul zydrine through mara with that got splatted by M0o. Ive lived in low, ransomed and ganked and did all that. But this new breed in eve is to me what the self entitled whine bears of this current generation is in RL just in game. Alas things change, I can accept that and understand that, but what its being replaced with is still stupid.
Piracy is fine. It has its place. But to be all pervasive imo is a horrible thing for the state of the health of the game. And the idea that more things need to be destroyed imo doesnt hold up. If that were the case CCP should look into its own drop rate tables for things dying rather than just wealth relocation through tears.

Yeah, this "trick" only works as long as someone doesn't ping the freighter with a noobship, causing the 15 minute timer to cut in.
There's a counter to it, it's just not often used. If it gets more common in the future, I expect the freighter ganking folks to just start with sticking the freighter with a logoff timer, then going from there.
It isn't really hard, but I think there are customers that you can lose in a good way and there's customers that you can lose in a bad way. If people come in and fundamentally don't like EVE Online, then I think that might be a good way of losing customers. . -á--CCP Soundwave

Did you think that maybe after the Green Safety, CrimeWatch, Duels, WARDEC EVASION Anti-Corp Agression Switch, warp to 0, barge/exhumer HP buff, WARDEC EVASION, can flipping removal, suspect status to all of eve, Free War Allies, WARDEC EVASION, ETC ETC ETC... WARDEC EVASION
That the only PvP left in hisec is Suicide Ganking? Not talking bout lowsec arr pirates and FW Not talking bout elite nullsec pvp wars.
But hisec, whats left, how to pvp? Seriously how can you pvp in hisec without being in a giant merc corp or suicide ganking?
And when the bears STILL WITHOUT FAIL OVER AND OVER AGAIN keep bringing their victim ships to the slaughter, why not? Y |

That even you see the problem that CCP cant fix, nor cares to fix, that is bringing about the downward spiral is commendable. But I hardly see it as reason to just throw ones hands up and say well if its all I got then by Jove I shall do so with vigor and accelerate the stupidities. And that more and more are pouring in to kick the dead horse and "get their share" is self evident. Its a self destructive path that the masses are following.
So keep it up. Theres more of people like you and fewer of people like me. So I will be drowned out in the BS and the noise. But in this case "winning" like CODE always asserts it does is really destroying the game itself in the long term. Its like committing suicide by a thousand cuts, takes forever, makes you feel "alive" in the short term cuz of the endorphin rush each cut gives, the need for more and deeper cuts to satisfy the junkie rush.... but in the end youll bleed out and die. But if the short term rush is what you want and the only thing that the vast portion of the player base is looking for then so be it. Then again I am outvoted.

Suicide ganking has been in this game since the beginning and is there on purpose. Look how strongly an attempted gank engaged the OP with the game. Instead of the usual no effort win of AFKing a freighter from A to B, the OP got to feel like they beat the big bad villains of highsec, CODE. They were so elated they came here and broke the forum rules to tell everyone about their PvP encounter and their brilliant victory.
That is why CCP has built suicide ganking into the game from the start and continues to maintain it even after 12 years. It is not killing anything (if it was why only now would it finally destroy the game?) but rather is an integral part of the player-driven stories this game is about. Yours is the prescription that would actually kill the game. A risk-free highsec would destroy the Eve economy and bore most of the new players out of the game - we've gone too far down this path already and it has contributed to many of Eve's ills. |

Yours is the prescription that would actually kill the game. A risk-free highsec would destroy the Eve economy and bore most of the new players out of the game - we've gone too far down this path already and it has contributed to many of Eve's ills. Okay for starters. I know exactly where suicide ganking was even early on in the game. I was there and dying and fighting way back when and have been here for the whole ride since. So either you cant read or you dont want to.
What is killing the game is its proliferation. Anything, no matter how "good" or intended, that grows out of proportion to other factors in game IS bad for the health of a system, in this case that system is Eve. It is quite literally a cancer that has grown like a wild fire in Eve. Nowhere in what I said did I say ganking and piracy is bad nor that it wasnt intended or even a vital, an EXTREMELY vital, part of the Eve evolutionary food chain. I can say this as someone who has been ganked and does gank. What imo the issue is is that its TOO popular. As even Carrie-Ann Moss has alluded to is the fact that its ALL you can do given the mechanics of Eve and that of high sec. When ganking is the end result of a system and therefore it is accepted and ultimately adopted by far to many of the cells of that system, us capsuleers, you will get chaos. Now most dont see the long term rammifications of such and issue. They only love their tears and the profits. They love the "winning" as CODE loves to put it. They preach rhetoric that embraces and endorses it, demean anyone else that speaks against it. Holding it up like the ultimate joy and right of the game.
And just as an economic glut or feast is bad for the game so is this method of last resort. And if you were around long enough and had enough knowledge of the workings of this game you could see that too. That it needs to be in the game is paramount, but what levels are healthy? When there is nothing but predators left because theyve killed off the prey they die too. This IS what happens. And what Ive seen happening for a lot of years.
Now you can argue, well we dont need the stupid in this game good riddance. Theyre idiots, they deserve it. And all the rest of the chorus of cheers. But the realization is still this, your sucking the life out of this game because its too much. When a limb goes gangrenous you cut if off to save the body. So spare me your arguments, Ive sat here and read through them and spent my time thinking about this game and human psychology a very long time, because people like you cant accept that just like the hard core industrialist that only sperges on their isk wallet is bad for the game as well. This is a balance thats been tipped too far in the wrong direction and needs to be brought back into balance.
CCP has tried to do this. The gankers whining about all the ganking changes show the changes, the method of last resort issue puts a final nail in its coffin. And gankers and gankees will whine irregardless of where that balance is set. But I know for a fact that when ganking is the number one, and by a far sight, way to do business in high sec for pvp that really isnt right from a game balance perspective, nor healthy for the long term game.

After doing some research in the old archived forums, I've found that when Eve first went online, there wasn't any High Sec or Low Sec, it was all Null Sec and due to players constantly ganking other players who spawned into the game, CCP created the various different security zones. Concord was implemented to help negate the amount of ganking that was happening in High Sec.
When I started playing this game in mid 2008, every once in a while the News would report about a Freighter with billions worth of cargo being destroyed in High Sec. This wasn't an everyday occurrence so it definitely was News-worthy. I remember seeing fleets of mining ships in various asteroid belts plying their trade. Shuttles and Frigates could autopilot through High Sec with relative safety. Pirate players proudly wore the red 'Wanted' sign with high Bounty amount and a negative Security Status. When viewed in High Sec, that would most often strike fear into the law abiding citizens of New Eden.
Alas, those days are gone.
I remember when Hulkageddon started up under the guise of trying to rid the game of bots. I believe it was actually a test to record Concord response times as well as see how much firepower was needed to do a successful gank as quickly as possible without investing a lot of ISK into fit-ups. Not to mention various Alliances would gain huge profits from selling replacement ships to those that were ganked. Back then there was consequences for your actions. Gaining back positive Security Status was an immense task which most players didn't want to do, thus the proliferation of disposable gank alts soon emerged. A couple years later the Hulkageddon events were abandoned and ganking in High Sec started becoming commonplace game play activity.
I can remember seeing 30 to 40k players online during the week and 50 to 60k online during weekends. Granted some of those accounts were Bots but I highly doubt it was a large percentage. Due to various changes made in game mechanics over the years favoring ganking along with the removal of consequences for actions, ganking has now become the go-to choice for game-play activity in High Sec which I believe is causing this game to slowly lose subscriptions. Each year there are fewer and fewer amount of players online.
I think it's high time CCP kept their promise to implement a career choice for Bounty-Hunting negative security status players in High Sec.
