The majority of gankers are afraid of null sec so just join a nullsec corp/alliance. They don't do well when someone is firing back.

So I was trotting along in my shuttle the other day minding my own business in Highsec space when I was blasted by this mob.

Apparently I didn't have a " permit " to mine this system, (that was kind of funny as I wasn't even mining just passing through ). Anyway since I haden't paid this extortion racket mob some isk they destroyed me. I have been playing on and off for years and I have run into this once or twice before but for new player just trying to start out in the game this is a terrible thing. I have been hearing lots the last year or so about EVE's player numbers dwindling and must say I have noticed it myself as there seem to be far fewer pilots in space these days. Anyway it didn't bother me as I only lost a shuttle and a few implants but this kind of action will only hasten the games demise as new players are being preyed upon by these thugs just as they are starting out.

... The boogeyman is just CODE now rather than Goons, ...

As a frequent carebear -- I think it would be a mistake for CCP to hammer Code and high-sec shenanigans out of the game. They make the game more interesting and serve as a catalyst for industry.

I just wish CCP would enable & support high-sec white knight game play.

But then what happens when Highsec carebears STILL don't stand up for themselves?

If you realize it's allowed, then why are you still going on about it? Are you like Lucas? Still hoping against hope that someday -if you cry enough- they'll finally get rid of us?

OP, congratulations on your purchase of a new permit, and hopefully they keep their promise and not attack you for the duration. Though sometimes they do.

In any case, don't feel bad that you had to post the link to their ****** website on the forums; it's a requirement of buying a permit, and we'll call you all sorts of names for a while but then it'll pass. It's a good start to the process of getting used to the shame of having given in to an extortion racket.

You clearly didn't read my post very well.
