Lets see if you can ignore my alliance tag for long enough to make a coherent point.
Why does the ratio need to favor the gankee over the ganker? What sort of special place does the victim of the gank have that they should stand to lose less always than the ganker? It would seem that piracy has always been a possible gainful employ in EVE and would cease to be as interesting or gainful if the ratios were to be changed. Which would lead to the assumption that the game should favor the passive player over the active one. What logic is attached to this other than some concept that the non-consensual PVP should be hindered in the favor of more protections for players that would like to participate in all of the gains of an open market and an open playing field, without worrying about taking a loss for it.
In short, you're failing the burden of proof of your own argument. You state that this ratio favors the gankers but you fail to state why this is actually a problem and why it should be considered such. |

eve is a game based on the premise that wherever you are someone can sodomize and murder you
so we don't really need to put much effort in to countering the brilliant oratory of the "please stop whipping me it hurts" crowd because we read the box before installing the game |

So all those people will come qqing to the forums afterwards. I hope that wasnt too hard for you.
I know this is difficult to get but I'll try and spell it out for you....
Its a council ... meaning more than one person is on it. Sure they may be able to ensure they get their guy as the chairman, but they don't have enough votes to completely silence high sec. IF high sec could get around a quarter of its inhabitants to actually vote for some representative.... they would make it onto the council... which that right there would be a enough to signal to CCP that high sec players are upset. If you want change, quit whining on the forum and start looking for a representative.... I would suggest starting with incursion runners.... looking for a strong FC people trust. |

Quote:Do you honestly believe the losses against the suicide ganker are worse than the losses to the miner? Yes. Mostly because I desperately cling to this silly notion that miners are reasonably intelligent people who do not operate at a loss.
Suicide gankers, on the other hand, very often operate at a loss GÇö or so they say GÇö since they're not in it for the money. Thus, they're worse off because they actually take a loss, whereas the miners don't.
The problem you're having with this line of thinking is that you're still stuck in the single-point comparison, which tells us just pretty much nothing about the how much the two parties actually end up earning or losing. I'll grant you that both of these are assumptions: that miners are smart enough to actually earn an income, and that the gankers have fun enough not to care about those matters, but that is also why I said GÇ£prove itGÇ¥: because people keep making this claims without offering any numbers to support it.

Lets see if you can ignore my alliance tag for long enough to make a coherent point. Why does the ratio need to favor the gankee over the ganker? maybe because ganker chooses time, place, victim and fit to attack? And no gankee? So ganker ALREADY HAS favor. Well yes. Place and time ganker and gankee choose "together". But final decision about attack belongs to ganker. So gankee should have something too.

Ganking is a bit one sided, they're usually an organised group they kill the target, don't care if their ships are destroyed because they get the insurance and they have a pick-up person ready to loot the wreaks. So the gankers get the loot plus insurance and the laugh, the guy getting ganked just gets the insurance which is nothing to his/her loses. Loses depending what kind of target.
Don't know about you but it seems one sided to me. |

yes, the gankers are forced to rely on superior organization and numbers to corner and devour their prey
this is one sided...in favor of the gankers

You're wrong when you think that the reason they don't care is because they get insurance. They don't care because they aren't massive pansies who get butthurt over internet spaceship explosions. |

I have never been ganked despite moving substantial value around in hisec for almsot 2 years now. I put 5 minutes of thought into it and figured out how to make myself unattractive to gankers (this is what I would call playing the game).
This, of course, doesn't control for people ganking out of a reckless thirst for destruction, but these are so rare and so widely announced when organized (and therefore easily avoidable) that I honestly do not see the issue. If I ever was unlucky enough to "win" the unforseeable and unavoidable gank lottery, I would just laugh it off. |

I think the biggest issue that people are having is the relative cost of exhumers, how little they actually make, and how easy they are to kill.
With all the new stuff being brought in with the expansion... i expect mineral prices to go up, CCP could introduce a new method of mining that allows miners to use an UI to micromanage laser effeciency.
*THINKING*
*Remembers the original PI.
oh god no... ignore that
how about allow people to mine ice in a command ship? |

Roadkill Rhino wrote:"Eve is a game driven by consequences for actions."
Yet the suicide gankers have no consequence. Being destroyed yet refunded for your losses is not a consequence of any meaning.
Let's look at it this way, people are able to fill freighters up with battleships and modules, pick an area, go there and gank the hell out of the miners there, all they need is a ganking character and character to give it the ship. That people can do this just goes to show that EVE is a game of consequences, but only if you're a miner.
Why do threads like this get so big? Because half the people posting are gankers who don't want their insurance payout taken away. They preach lines like "EVE is hardcore" "You're not safe anywhere, always at risk" But that's not true, there is a group of people who take no risk atall, and that is the gankers, there is no risk in what they do, they break even or sometimes profit, they risk nothing to do a suicide gank. They will die, they know this, they also know that insurance will pay the bill.
Insurance payout for suicide ganking is a really stupid feature.
There are consequences to it. It's called "sec status" hit. It's the only reason why i haven't turned to the darkside yet. You can't imagine how much i want to discoball jita but i don't want to farm sec status. Boring as hell. -Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily. |

If people want to make the argument that ganking is just the final slap in the face heaped upon the mountain terribleness that is hisec mining, that is soemthing I can get behind and sympathize with. Let's, then, spend our effort and tears on making mining less awful, and maybe miners won't mind the occasional embargo or random gank as much. |

ganking has consequences, and we are intelligent and organized enough to work around those
you, on the other hand, are incompetent, worthless, and either a bot or a human roleplaying a bot and are unable to take basic precautions such as: 'get out of the target zone' 'pay attention' 'don't sacrifice your entire tank for mining efficency' 'have friends'
basically you want to be invulnerable even while you're fundamentally dumber and less reactive than a botting script |

You're talking about something totally different from the op.
The op is refering to high-sec gankers and insurance payout,
It's obvious that a larger group is likely to win, unless it's a large group of shuttles. But that's not the issue of the thread. |

Weaselior has captured the main issue. Even if you don't agree with his conclusion, the terms in which he is framing the issue is the correct way to approach it. If you can convincingly argue that the effort, innovation, organization, etc required by the ganker is too low relative to the options availabe to counter ganking (avoiding being ganked), then you will have a good chance that CCP and the rest of the community will take you seriously. I have yet to see such an argument, though I am definitely open to the possibility and would actually like to see it happen just to watch Goons cry (not that I dislike Goons, but I like anyone's crying more than I like them). |
