Tears have no value to me. If I ever get tears, I try to help wipe them away, though sometimes that can be hard.
Ganking is fun for me. I enjoy the game you get, roleplaying as an outlaw in dangerous space. Living as an outlaw certainly adds more challenge to certain aspects of the game, especially if you are doing it on your main character!
I value fun above everything else, although isk is a nice bonus sometimes!
Lately I have been ganking lots of pods near Jita, trying to get that multibillion isk gank for my killboard, although it is becoming less fun ganking the newbie players, because I feel a sense of duty, as regards the future of EvE, in helping them understand that high sec is not safe, but also not impossible to play in.
It can be very hard to get that point across, so now I am starting to avoid the newbie pods if possible, because it is easier for me this way 
I never gank in rookie systems of course! |

I do, or should I say did when the person I shot had a great attitude the last time I played. But when they start shouting in local with personal attacks and threatening RL acts, laughing at their tears is the only course I will then accept.
Now I think about it, this makes me see that tears may have some value sometimes  |

Of course, I'm always generous enough to sell the corpse back at a price that is lower than the total cost of the implants. 
This is genius. Perhaps we could consider the cost of ganking a pod with no implants a price worth paying for the good ones to be found? |

This is a game, and barring a few exceptions relating to rookies, you are allowed to attack other players in this PvP game. As long as the attacks are legitimate in-game attacks, then, it is a fair thing to do!
With so many possible reasons behind a suicide gank, the act of the gank itself is not enough to determine the reason. It would be irrational to assign a reason without more background knowledge.
Many players in this thread like to talk about provocation. If you think that merely being attacked is enough provocation to respond with unreasonable RL threats then you should reconsider whether you are in the proper mental state to be playing a PvP game.
La Rynx wrote:They also can see when RL threats where provoked by previous actions of the aleged "victim"
Remember, this is a game, which is supposed to be something you do in spare time, for fun. If you are taking a game so seriously that you think RL threats are justified, then you are clearly doing it wrong. |

Perhaps we could consider the cost of ganking a pod with no implants a price worth paying for the good ones to be found? I'm assuming you're referring to the large drop in sec status for popping a pod. It really isn't a bad price to pay at all. Indeed, negative sec status does become a bit of a nuisance. It can be worked around, though. Provided you are fast and accurate enough. If it becomes too bothersome, you can always farm rat tags and turn them in at a CONCORD station. It's a bit of a grind, but it's a good way to pass the time if your targets have become particularly mindful of your presence. When they start hiding from you, disappear into lowsec for a while to collect tags. Turn the tags in for sec status increase, then go back to your hunting grounds. By that time, your targets will be nice and complacent again. Might even have a few new faces eager to meet their demise. :)
Oh no lol I forgot about sec status. But you can pop pods as an outlaw anyway, even in 1.0 systems
Yeah I was referring to the cost of the gank thrasher. Bout 1.2 mil lol. |

Yeah I didn't meant a gank catalyst for the mining barges, they can be more expensive. Not much still
Was referring to merely a cheap pod popper. |

Having a little bit of creative fun is hiding behind excuses?

That sounds quite possible. Assumptions can be flawed though.
That someone may give an excuse for doing something, where the real motivation differs from what is communicated, does not mean they are hiding. The very word itself is loaded with emotional connotations. Perhaps someone just wants to conceal the truth from you, for some valid reason.
Is that hiding behind an excuse? I'd call that being sneaky.
Personally, I just have fun in a game though |

I reffered to emotional connotations. Suggesting that someone is hiding behind an excuse gives the impression that they are in some way a coward, scared of the judgements of those around them. Now this might be true of some people, but I think it's a poor choice of words for making a generalisation.
Are they really a coward? Maybe they just like to roleplay, for fun? Perhaps they enjoy killboard statistics? Maybe it's all about the isk?
I mean, I can accept if someone has respect only for unapologetic ganking. That is their prerogative. But to dismiss other justifications as unworthy, and imply that people might be cowardly for what they do is something I find highly amusing! |

Suicide gank, because it's something fun to do, for any number of reasons that the game allows. Do a bit of light-hearted roleplaying if you want. The game will allow that too. It's not immoral to have fun in a game, if you don't cross certain boundaries.
If you don't want to do those things then don't. If you want to put people down for doing those things, then don't be surprised if they show disregard for your putdowns.
Just a fun game |
