Carebears can exist in every security status of space. High, low, nul, or wormhole, risk aversion is not restricted to any one of them. This is true. Also, a death in high sec is no less 'consensual' than a death elsewhere. EVE Online features universal non-consensual pvp. Any ship in space is at risk. Understanding this is one of the keys to success in EVE Online, especially as a PVE player. It does matter. A 50K EHP skiff can basically assume that they will never get ganked in high sec, whereas a 50K EPH tank in null sec will do nothing except take longer to die. If you fly a 50K EHP skiff in high sec, it is safe to assume you will not be ganked and if you do it would have been worth it to see them waste battleships to kill you.
The point is that either one is subject to unwanted pvp at anytime. The 50k ehp skiff is a smart move, it is not immune.

Anyone can assume they won't get ganked in highsec. That doesn't change the fact that the act of undocking is consent to PVP, and they can definitely be ganked. If you think Procs and Skiffs don't get ganked in high sec, think again. I saw two Procs not that long ago ganked by three Catalysts each.
There's no such thing, and nor should there be, as 100% safety. The assumption of that safety is an assumption only based on an illusion of safety that one creates for their self.

I challenge you or CODE to stop the 50 man skiff fleets.
You are 99.99999999999% safe in an NPC corp if you fly 50K EPH Skiffs in high sec and it would cost more in catalysts to destroy one. Considering these 50 man fleets probaly made more than 1 Skiff in an hour. Its a pointless affair.
If you are a high sec player, you can be fairly smug and assured that no one is going to kill your 50K EHP skiff and if they did kill it, then it would cost much more in the kill.
Which is why it matters where the numbers are coming from. Skiffs aren't dying in hi sec and therefore are not affecting the PVP averse players who don't go to null and low.
"Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".

Why would they gank a 50 ship Skiff fleet when they can more easily gank pilots that haven't adjusted to their presence?

You are picking at details and intentionally dodging the overarching point, while at the same time unintentionally making it.
50 man skiff fleets are rare and as such they are an exception to the rule. But they are only an exception by virtue of strength in numbers and strength in ship choice. There are easier targets to go after. That is, they are an exception to the rule because they are mitigating the risk of undocking, but not negating it. Meanwhile, the risk itself remains the same. That being said, if you're going to pull percentages out of thin air, you'd better have a source to cite them from or I'm going to dismiss them out of hand.
As for your silly little challenge, there is no need to gank the whole fleet to prove the risk exists and remains the same for everybody. One ship would suffice. This 'challenge' is little more than an attempt at a 'gotcha' that fails by virtue of you missing the whole point.

I'm using the 50 fleet example as a point to why its safe in high sec to flaunt the skiff.
A playing mining by themselves in a single skiff with 50K EHP is just as safe.
No one targets skiffs in high sec anyways. Not even CODE.

Then it's a failure of an example because, once again, it's the exception, not the rule. It's like using the 0.3-0.5% of transgender people to claim that the human race is not a dimorphic species.

Basically it's another of those time where Tippia goes off on a tangent to derail a conversation. I'm still calling for baltec to prove with verifiable evidence that ganking occurs less now than in previous years, because a record breaking burn X event followed by a second burn war akini event last year tells me that ganking is pretty common.
For Tippia there is an easy solution, I'm just going ignore anything she says as It's guaranteed to be a time waste to read it.

I actually followed your link. And it doesn't say what you think it says.
They are listing the first jihadswarm ganking event of 2008 for Q1 and Q1 only. Those numbers are an anomaly and don't support baltec1's theory that 2012 was worse than 2014 or 2015.
Furthermore, look at the player averages during and after said event.
Eve-Online was growing very fast 2004-2008.
Ganking events started Q1 2008 and the growth stopped cold. By March of 2008 the numbers dropped and stayed down until the winter expansion 2008 late.
What happened in November 2008? Quantum Rise.
So unless you want to lend credence to the idea that ganking killed the growth of the game from 2004-2008, your numbers show that one concentrated event that went from an average of what you linked to over 30 procurers per day in 2015. Well I don't think you want to go there. |
