Ganking is PVP - but what you did, killing that miner, is a form of PVP called griefing, which is a bannable offence. Unfortunately CCP chooses not to enforce their own rules in this regard. You had nothing to gain from destroying that miners ship except for the pleasure of causing him headache and lost time, which is griefing.

It is griefing.
He had no reason to single out that person and attack him. Did he loot the wreck, I highly doubt it. Did he scare other miners away, no. Are other miners "learning" anything? No.
It's funny, when you go to places in space where PVP is expected, the community is totally different - people actually have constructive conversations and get to know the community. In high-sec on the other hand, people have learned to keep their mouth shut and do their best to keep themselves out of these griefers sights. It's crazy... Noone really interacts in high-sec outside of their corporation or alliance... at all. Thanks to low life people that spend their time griefing others...
If CCP made ALL space like lowsec/null "griefing" wouldn't exist. |

CCPs own words:
Quote:A grief player, or "griefer," is a player who devotes much of his time to making othersGÇÖ lives miserable, in a large part deriving his enjoyment of the game from these activities while he does not profit from it in any way. Grief tactics are the mechanics a griefer will utilize to antagonize other players. At our discretion, players who are found to be consistently maliciously interfering with the game experience for others may receive a warning, temporary suspension or permanent banning of his account.
Spin it how you like, but that's exactly what you're doing.
CCP should work a little harder on figuring out how to solve the issue of people like you running around. If they expect to really build their subscriber base, people like you do not help.

It is senseless at best... I agree that the high-sec environment should not be considered 'safe'. But what they are doing is griefing. They may not be targeting a particular person, but they are targeting a particular group of people that try to play this game.
The difference in high-sec and low/null is that you expect to be engaged, and you're more prepared for it. Also, you don't see these types of low life people in low/null because they're too weak, and scared to be in a place that puts them on a level playing field.
The consequences for attacking in high-sec should be a lot greater, making the griefer carefully consider the value of attacking a random newb. |
