to call the definition "fashioned" is also pretty narrow especially when you tell someone that they are pvp'ing if they fit a shield extender.
Do you consider it pvp when you and 39 of your closest friends burn down an unarmed Guardian?
I do. Just wondered if that falls under ganking or pvp by your lights.
You might consider the danger of trying to define PvP by your own guidelines. More than a few players have disdained the "F1 monkey" as a human powered bot.

Not only is ganking PvP, its ELITE PvP. Who says so? James 315 says so and as the leader of the New Order of Highsec he's a lot more believeable than some forum alt hamster who's bushido requires a combination of leather gloves slapped across the face and meeting at dawn. Except they are fine with blobbing.
And the reason CCP modified bumping wasn't because they analyzed it and it didn't meet the secret CCP definition of PvP. They nerfed it because CODE. and Miniluv had gotten so good at it that no freighter could get through the Uedama pipe if loyalanon and friends decided they weren't. Even AFTER all the nerfs the devs threw at freighter ganking before that.
Ganking, for a purpose, is power projection. The New Order ganks in order to exert control over highsec. You can debate how effective we are. I would say that the bumping nerf proves our power but you might want to retain some shred of dignity and go down swinging by denying it. But you cannot deny its why we do it.
Welcome to another Code relevance thread. You just can't avoid talking about it.
