you don't need to sit on a gate to camp it. you only need to be there when someone comes through and you can get off the gate again after the mere seconds it takes to blow the thing up. if you don't like camps, this will only make it easier to catch things for petty ganks. all it allows is petty ganks.
no real fights will be able to happen on gates. this is where real fights happen too, believe it or not. telling people to get off the gate and fight is so ignorant and naive, i'm amazed. finding someone stupid enough to get caught with their pants down doing something off the gate in low sec is not common. those people are in high sec, or even null. i look for those kills, i don't like camping, but people are scared shitless of low sec and know the risks and their heads are full of tales from their noob corps about gate camps being EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME. you think more people will start coming here when they learn how much more at risk their transport ships and cloaky T3s are to being ganked?
if you are in a roaming gang and you scout another roaming gang, would you not want to hide your numbers so they don't get spooked [even if it's even numbers they get spooked] and catch them by surprise, while guaranteeing they'll be in point range all at the same time? well, guess what? the best place to do that is at a gate whether you're in a high sec war, low sec or null. do you think we should just sit at a planet like dumbasses, giving up a tactical advantage, letting people scout us, gather an overwhelming force and/or hot drop us? the only way to have any semblance of a 'fair fight' is for two groups to happen upon each other at a gate without any prior intel, otherwise one gang gets intel on the numbers of the other, they either bring a greater force to secure victory with minimal losses, or they'll avoid it and this isn't exclusive to low sec. tired of complaining about gate camps? get some bait, get some friends and stomp them. it's easy, but i guess it's hard to find reliable friends when you're a socially inept hermit, plinking away at level 4s in high sec.
anyone with experience in low sec should know these things already. i know the eve population is chock-full of ********, ignorant, misinformed grumpy old men, but damn, it's starting to get a little out of hand. you need to learn how this game works before you start thinking you know what's wrong with it. and that goes for greyscale too.
