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.
You make so many assumptions and throw about this term "low life" freely without any real understanding of the types of players who may suicide gank.
The first time I suicide ganked was because I read about others doing it and wanted to try it for myself, for the game of it.
Another time I suicide ganked, it was after killing a mission runner in low sec (yes we can go there too) and the poor dude who lost his drake returned in a caracal, but I was camping his mission site. Meanwhile next door in the adjacent high sec system, plenty of his corpmates were happily mining away, and nobody thought to come and help him against me. I was alone and the 5 of them could easily have taken me out if they all tried. So yeah, I felt sorry for the guy, and suicide ganked one of his miner corpmates to teach them a lesson 
The last time I suicide ganked someone it was during Burn Apanake, and there were players "guarding" the belts. This one particular dude being guarded seemed like someone fun to try and gank so I did. After my catalyst scared off a proteus I did the dirty deed
I've also killed people in null. So anyway, my main point is that suicide ganking is not always senseless, and certainly not always carried out by people who won't set foot in low/null. You are wrong buddy!
And as for anyone who may say it's not "leet pvp", nor is most of the other pvp in the game. Mostly it's the strong killing the weak. Many players won't fight against the odds.
The amount of players who will go up against a larger force willingly, and frequently, are few and far between. Most eve players, including myself, are basically risk averse, all to varying degrees. |
