I'm going to ask you a very old question - how long injustice will take place in EVE? How long we are going to tolerate impunity of suicide-gankers? How long our universe will stay the paradise for griefers?
You are playing EVE. You spend your time and money. But some special characters flying an air-cheap destroyers are able to ruin everything. Ruin without any penalty and you will stay without any compensation. Using a very simple logic - you are paying money for subscription just to make someone else have fun in the game.
Do you like it? Do you like to waste your time and money? CCP is ok with it. Maybe they are people with heavy childhood, having their lunchboxes often taken away by hooligans. But are we the same then?
If you consider i'm sad - you're wrong. I'm tired. I find this boring and not funny. I hope non-CCP EVE will appear shortly. Free, opensource and clean. |

Before you leave, can I have your stuff?
Seriously though, concerning your "idea", suicide ganking has always been a part of Eve and it will remain a part of Eve. Highsec isn't there to be completely safe, the only place you're safe is in station. That's the base line.
If you can't take the idea that other people might want to **** in your sandbox, then this isn't the game for you, because that was the original idea behind Eve, and the thing that makes it so interesting. It's that people can and will be absolute bastards to each other.
That said, there are plenty of ways to defend yourself against being suicide ganked. Don't fly an overly expensive ship, pay attention to local/dscan and basically just think about what you're doing and the odds of you being suicide ganked decrease dramatically. |

I'm curious about numbers. How many people playing EVE find suicide-ganking funny and how many find it's not? |

Hello,
please consider of handing me over all your stuff if you decide to leave Eve. That would make me very happy. And yes, suicide gankers are a pain in the ass, but thats game mechanics, deal with it. You can do something about it in many ways, like selling kill rights for under a million ISK. Or killing them yourself. Eve is a sandbox after all. |

Suicide gankers are not a part of game mechanics. They are obvious griefers, but CCP like to dig a grave for EVE even deeper, taking their side.
Killing them DOES NOT MAKE any sense. Just because those characters are created only for suicide purpose and will never pilot any valuable ships. |

They've always been a part of EVE. They just weren't as prevalent before can-flipping went away. It's the increase in high-sec safety which led to it being so common. |

So what? The game doesn't change since 2003? We all are still poor noobs and any t1 battleship is still an icon of wealth and luxury?
EVE has changed. Now anyone to do a name or prosper must work harder than anyone before. Why? He comes to a mature world! EVE is not young. Equality of starting conditions is already far away! Who do you think suiciders are? They are all mindless bastards obsessed with destruction? No! Most of them are people who entered the game, but the only place this game has found for them - antisocial activity, griefing. EVE is ill. This universe is not the land of boundless opportunities. Not anymore. The truth is - she is in deep stagnation. And suicide-ganking is nothing more, nothing less, but a part of her agonal spasms.
So this old-good tradition you're talking about stands like a wall on the way to salvation. Stop the griefing, make all players equal again and you will see a fresh start! If you're in doubt consider this - most of miners are young characters. The suicide-griefing is striking this part of population. |

No. High-sec is boring enough without making it safer. I started back in the can-flipping days, if not for the frigate fights I got into in my first week while mining, I might not have kept playing EVE. I don't gank, but certainly don't have an issue with those who do.
If anything, high-sec needs more danger, not more safety. |

Ok. Answer me then - why are you asking to do a high-sec more dangerous place, if such a places already exist in EVE? You love danger? Low-sec! Null-sec! Wormhole! Fly there, enjoy an incredible danger and hardcore! If someone has not enough courage to fight, why then anyone else must suffer because of that? WHY any other people must be forced to play your game with your rules? Why they shall not be able to play the game of their own? |

Because many new players start in high-sec, find it boring, and leave. EVE made it's reputation as a hard & demanding game, the safer they've made it, the less new players seem to stay, from what I've seen.
More safety has resulted in high-sec being quiet, no conversations, no socialization. When I started local was busy, you'd see it flash almost all the time. Now, I can be in high-sec for hours without seeing a single convo.
There already are games which cover what you want. If you don't want ship loss, then don't play a game with ship loss. If you want a single player game, there are plenty of those. EVE is unique because of the danger. As it loses that, it loses it's identity. |

This -- I got into my first corp (in '07) because I was in a "quiet" hisec system and a can-flipper rolled the 20k m3 jetcan I took an hour to fill up (Navitas, Meta 0 or 1 cheap-ass mining laser) ..
"Thanks for the ore" "Wait, what? How did ... " (explanation of mechanics) (other players add in other bits)

(get offer to join a gang, because stealing from someone in a gang means they go flashy to everyone) (chill for a few days with the gang... get into corp) One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

Accept this fact. Find like minded people and work towards imposing your version "justice" upon the EvE universe. You may or may not succeed but I have the feeling you'll have a lot more fun trying than running to the forums and expecting CCP to nurse maid you. NBSI shall be the whole of the Law |

Also many players leaving after they spend a lot of time to buy or to build something interesting and attractive, but next moment few catalysts comes. BANG-BANG! Wreck. Everything you was working on turns to nothing. Next step in your plan is unreacheable again. What if some players don't need this violent socialisation? What are you going to do? Shoot them? Are you shooting anyone who's asking you to leave him alone? |

It's really easy not to be ganked. Pay attention to D-scan and leave if someone you don't know shows up. It's only a problem if you aren't willing to pay attention. If you are mining in a quiet backwater, instead of 4 jumps from Jita, it's actually fairly rare anyway.
Edit: Or use a Procurer. They don't get ganked very often. |

Neither as a matter of fact I just don't see why CCP should shift the entire basis of EvE which (as far as I can see) the majority of players are reasonably satisfied with to accommodate you.
If you want to change things get out in-game and try do something about it but don't expect it to happen by sitting on the forums and shouting about how unfair EvE is. As you have no doubt noticed that doesn't tend to end well.
EvE was designed to be a challenging environment if your not up to it find something you enjoy more. NBSI shall be the whole of the Law |

You assume that justice belongs in the hands of someone else in Eve, and hasn't been placed solely within yours the moment you subscribed.
Don't like getting ganked in Eve? 3 options, friend:
1: Quit. It's a PvP game, and you're finding that unsatisfactory.
2: Get smart. Gankers are easy to avoid.
3: Get even. Suicide ganking takes very little effort and draws two types of people: The incredibly bored who have nothing better to do that night, and the incredibly lazy. The incredibly lazy ones are easy to shoot back, and the bored guys will give you a pat on the back for growing a pair. |

Yep. That's a brilliant idea. One EVE for normal people, looking for fun and relax, another for hardcore-oriented, where they will be able to kill each other non-stop until the end of times.
Unfortunately reverse engineering of blue framework is not an easy task.

Justice is a relative concept(mainly because morality is a relative concept). Since that is the case, there's no real meaningful argument to be had there.
So, let me explain something to you. Highsec was never intended to support such a large percentage of the game's population. It was supposed to be a stepping stone to lowsec and then on to nullsec. Now of course, this isn't the case in actual practice, but it made sense at the time. Now for lore time. CONCORD was established to prevent the empires from mercilessly beating ass on each other. Regulation of capsuleers was an afterthought. Capsuleers commit gross atrocities on a whim. Most common of which is mass genocide. The average highsec mission runner on a daily basis will murder thousands of naval officers in a single mission in the name of a paycheck without a single thought. You're lucky that CONCORD doesn't blow you out of the sky for merely being associated with a pod.
Now back to actual gameplay, the game has never been meant to allow a player to be completely safe from harm. I don't see why that should change because you recently lost a Mackinaw or Orca. |
