"Soon to be?"
Suicide gankers became the new carebears a very long time ago, around about the time when they began insisting their chosen profession, and later specific individuals themselves, were an indispensible cornerstone of EVE Online, without which the game would surely crash and burn. Suciide gankers now consider themselves saviours and crusaders fighting some sort of righteous war against people in hi-sec - and they can't even deny this because people have written multiple-post spiels about how they're sacred defenders of all that is pure and good about EVE Online.
"Without me, EVE Online will crumble and the game will be dead!" Who else do we know who regularly talks like that? Hi-sec miners. Hi-sec miners will often arrogantly state that they're responsible for keeping the low-end mineral market afloat, and that CCP should cater to them because if they were gone, the market would collapse and people would leave the game in frustration. Regardless of the veracity of this assertion, hi-sec miners are generally hated for their arrogance.
Suicide gankers have, in a twist of brilliant irony, set themselves up in a position very similar to that which miners occupy - that of an utterly indispensible part of EVE Online's culture and the guardians of its future. There are slight differences of course - miners claim they're the only thing ensuring market stability, while suicide gankers claim they're "providing content" or "driving emergent gameplay" (although more recently, suicide gankers will have you believe they're protecting EVE Online from some phantasmal threat). But it truly is all the same - buzzwords and flowery justifications for a sense of unwaranted self-importance. Both parties would like to believe they're somehow vital to the game's future, but the fact is, there's no-one in EVE Online who's indispensible. You are only as important to the future of this game as your ability to pay your subscription to it. Mane 614

Suicide ganking is definitely the new ultracarebearing... with the exception that it does not really build anything in and of itself like other industrial bears do.
I would also seriously challenge the notion that it brings that much to eve. Yes, im glad that eve allows for such things and CCP considers it fair play, but a bunch of low-skilled noobs attacking industrials is not what i would call a hard selling point for those looking for a challenge. I have not been around nine years because of the amazing excitement of attacking something that cannot shoot back.
This is only compounded by the poor gankers misguided notion that they are doing something unique we should all thank them for. It not what makes eve and CCP would do well not to dwell on this as eves core. |

It's an irrelevancy. Society cannot control the mind of a perpetrator so saying a woman should have every right to not be a victim is ludicrous. The only logical or reasonable response is to take measures to protect yourself or make efforts to be less of a target. |

Tripping me up?! I'm just asking if people would agree if suicide gankers would be the new carebears or not if miners adapt and gankers don't and keep looking for the easy poppings to be made instead of actually rising to a challenge set by adapting miners.
Up untill now they've been more inclined to stay on the easy peasy road carebaring along.
Not saying they carebares now but they might soon be the new carebears. Even if their mains live in tough old null sec.
Lets just agree to disagree and quit the analytical on this. When I point to the moon don't stare a my finger! |

It's the opposite of left, right? 
I'm assuming we're talking about my analogy and I feel I'm being misunderstood. My opinion on the matter was not actually stated and anyone's opinion on the matter is irrelevant. It's not about what's right in this example, it's about the reality of the situaiton.
EDIT: or it could be my wording, but I think that's what I meant. In a vaguely general fashion when this subject is brought up there are always those who insist that a woman shouldn't have to worry about what they wear, they should be free to do as they please and not be a victim. Pretty much 'I should have the right to do what i please without consequence.' |

CONCORD has been buffed and suicide ganking nerfed repeatedly over the years. Suicide gankers adapted.
Aldeskwatso wrote:Suicide ganking is a low skill and low risk trade, takes place in high sec, most are alts making it even less risky. While mining takes more skill training, is riskier these days, takes more experience to pull off and you need to be far more adaptable.
I agree targeting a rock, hitting F1 and ALT-TABbing to pron sites requires a lot of experience. You do realise the career suicide gankers use scanning/scouting/warpin alts and Orca alts to get around sec status, because rolling new suicide alts is an exploit? Sounds like adaptation and innovation to me.
There is a risk in suicide ganking: the risk miners took the necessary precautio- (snicker)- to protect their shi- AH HAHAHAHAHAHA
No I agree completely there is absolutely no risk in suicide ganking |

The problem with your comparison is that it, in turn, is completely irrelevant to the virtual world of EVE. The right that exists in real life does not exist in EVE.

How do you provide rights for something our society cannot possibly prevent or control other than through our own self protecting measures? What laws could we possibly pass and enforce to make it so anyone can walk around carelessly without consequence? You can't, so while I cannot argue that everyone should have the right to do as they please, the reality is that the right doesn't exist at all, and we all have a responsibility to protect ourselves.

I think the comparison is spot on, the point being instead of trying to force CCP to provide absolute immunity that one should actually take measures to protect themselves or make themselves a less of a target by tanking their ships, mining in groups, and being actively aware of their surroundings....the similarities to the things you should do IRL are amazingly similar.
Next time, I'll chose a less inflammatory example. We'll go for 'don't walk through the bad part of town wearing an expensive suit, a rolex and waving wads of money around screaming IM RICH!'

This doesn't change the fact that the miners need to stop making themselves victims by actively choosing to make themselves the easiest targets imaginable (in close competition with the rocks they're trageting, but given the GÇ£onoz, it's crowdedGÇ¥-whines that pop up every now and then, the rocks sure seem more difficult).

With two threads each clocking 10+ post manifestos and a third proclaiming a premature victory, plus an immense amount of bickering with people who disagree with him, James 315 doesn't strike me as a troll. He strikes me as someone who genuinely believes what he writes, or if he doesn't, puts so much effort into it anyway that the distinction is purely academic. Besides, the thing is, whether or not he's a troll doesn't even matter because a whole bunch of suicide gankers evidently believe his words are sincere. I think he's a complete idiot, but I do credit him as being someone who believes what he writes, and if he isn't sincere, I'd look upon him as one of the many hypocritical Christian evangelists that plague America today - he might not personally believe what he says, but there are certainly a good deal of people who do.

I'd amend this to say that they don't fear losing their ship in controlled circumstances. Not all suicide gankers are risk-averse, but some of them are putting up a destroyer to get a pile of loot in return. It's not risky PVP, it's buy low, sell high. It's time to put an end to CCP's war on piracy. Fight your own battles and stop asking CCP to do it for you. |

Actually, why can't you give a straight awnser and elaborate on that instead of trying to debunk my reasoning which is based on my own observations and experience. Not to mention those of other players aswell. Ultimately it's a point of view you either share or don't. But it's hardly unsubstantiated.
I can assume you disagree with it gankers becoming the new carebears but you haven't actually stated it anywhere? Just a lot of talk mostly about other peoples posts.

Seething funny happened to me today....
One of my friends who was a miner was afk mining in system. I'd already told him about tanking up the hulk and so he did. 6 cats warped in and had a go at him. I think they were noobs because they never scanned his hulk which had no mining upgrades, cargo mods or nothing. The attack whiffed and concord cleaned up the belt. He had his drones out to kill rats. When he got back,he had 83% of hull remaining and got himself 2 of his first KMs. He was ecstatic. We lol'ed a bit in local.
That's it. Carry on. |
