So why didn't they?
Cause most ppl dont want negative sec status and they aren't out to grief ppl just for the lulz. Really, the hardest challenge to this gank was finding so much retrievers all cuddled up against each other.

What tears do you speak of
Because it seems to be your tears, considering you're bitter in every suicide gank related thread
Crappy troll or hulk gank victim?
Crappy troll yes, gank victim no.
Though my statement about this not being a very epic gank is not trolling, just my personal opinion. I must admit I smiled somewhat when watching the vid though, but the topic title is way too much chestbeating and there is too much arse kissing going on.
Dropping a BS on a blob of cheap t1 ships with 1 mid slot and 2 low slots and blowing them up is not that hard you see... Like I said, the hardest part must have been finding such a large and dense blob.

Who cares if it was hard or not
The important part was the outcome, which was awesome
The outcome was interesting yes, but not awesome m8, just a bunch of cheap kills and only moderate tears from the victims. Better stop all that chest beating bro, you'll crack your ribs....

It still surprises me how painfully unaware people are of suicide ganks and how harsh space can be, alot of carebears believe that they deserve to be reimbursed for it aswell.
To be honest though I think that this is a fairly blatant display of how stupid and overpowered suicide ganking still is. Sure, it's like the perfect target for a smartbomb run but this like nearly nothing to pull off. I laugh at the people who thought he spent over 100m to pull this off.
Funny stuff ^^
It's not the ganking that is overpowered imo but the fact you can do it so cheaply due to insurance. They should take it out of the game completely as far as I'm concerned...

5 Pages of people saying how much they enjoy it = awesome
Depends on the standards of those ppl I would imagine

Also, chest beating? I had nothing to do with this
Oh you're right, in that case you should stop kissing arse

You want to make it even harder to gank macro miners lol.
You have plex so now you can build 18 or 20 man macro mining fleets that you pay for with isk. You have Orcas which now help you haul the obscene amounts of ice and ore your 18 man macro fleets strip. How is the player base suppose to police its sandbox. You cant war deck NPC corp macro miners.
You clearly don't speak from first hand experience, Empire macro ganking is neither cheap nor logistically easy. I know some like to claim it is but in the end you could make far more isk macro mining yourself then going through all the trouble of trying to gank them, lol.
A 18 man macro mining empire fleet can easily make over 320 billion a yr and that's after all the accounts have been paid for with plex, give me a break.
I salute those who have taken the time and isk to help rid EVE of whiney Bears and macro miners. We need a EVE classic, all the whiney bears are killing EVE.

Ganking macro miners never put a dent in the population and never will. You can gank them 10 times and they STILL won't leave cause it's their job to run the macro accounts.
It amazes me, ppl who whine about carebears are bending over backwards to keep alive one of the most bearish aspects of the game: insurance. Getting a 100 million isk ship blown up with little to no loss in isk just doesn't fly with me. I don't even care how you get it blown up, through ganking or missioning or whatever. Having such a backup will only make ppl more complacent and bearish.
Insurance needs to be heavily nerfed, nerfed and after that nerfed again. Or they can just rip it from the gamecode completely as far as I am concerned.
But we're derailing this moderately ok-ish thread, let's not do that

There you go talking about things you don't have first hand knowledge about. Suicide smart bomb ganking BS is 75 mill fitted and that includes cost to insure. My fellow hoe bags and I and have driven macro miners from the game. You use locator agents and follow them, macro miners only play for profit and if you break their mining long enough and hurt them deep enough they will quit. Not being able to make their monthly plex bill for their fleet usually does it.
I don't know who you chased away from the game but they weren't professional macro-miners, like I said, they do it for a living and run like as much accounts as they can. If for some reason you were able to gank ships from 10-20 accounts per macro miner 24-7 you might be able to drive them away yes, but they would be right back the minute you stop harassing them.
And if I was running a macro-sweatshop and was getting followed around so badly I could not make profit anymore I'd just cancel the accounts and make new ones. Training up for a retriever doesn't cost that much time. Thanks to insurance you are also not inflicting heavy isk loss on them. Just hurting their yield. But the minute you go to sleep they will be back mining as Chinese X just got replaced by Chinese Y.
The ppl you ran out of the game were prolly a) not macro's or b) 'regular' players using a bot to cheat. But you did NOT drive out a single pro-farmer. Like I said: it's their JOB, they HAVE to keep doing it or they don't get paid by their slave driving boss.
