Ok, there are spaceships in EVE and there are bulllying in EVE. I know that the spaceships are not real, and seriously I hope nobody try tro fly with one of the CCP models. I could argue about how real the in-game bulllying is, but I have not first-hand experience on real bullying... I was too autistic for the bullies in my school to enjoy it, too poor to suffer Ivy League bullies, and too late into military service to suffer initiation rituals. But I guess that the problem is that in-game bullying is very similar to real one and then the frontier blurs. <br /><br />Of course, real-life bullying has survived for centuries, and so there are arguments against and for it. Very similar to in-game. Some school teachers would allow some level of it because it hardens the children. This is even more reasonable in an military economy as EVE; you want to harden the newbies, so u allow for bullies. <br /><br />The typical bully in this way is the gate ganker that shoots AFKs and newbie without immediate value. The only benefit from the tears is to get some prestige of hardness within their gank, and the relative -absurd, really- lesson to the newbie. <br /><br />Other ways of ganking are less justifiable on the grounds of hardening. Low level mission ganking, when the ganked guy is already on keyboard in the middle of a rat fighting fencing dance with usually a low level hull. Not hardening there, not benefits from the spoil, just pure ganking pride. <br /><br />CODE is a bit less bullying, in the sense that it is less bullying if the guy stealing your snack actually wants to eat it, or is educated enough to taste it. And CODE could evolve to a real nothing-personal maffia entity racketing for hi-sec protection, if such racketing can be considered different of bullying. Moreover, there is some bussines involvement as they on one side need to replace the ships lost to CONCORD, and their own activity should raise the prices of such ships (miners are the basis to build them).<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359240470593955814.post-60966356361868343702014-04-28T10:48:22.052+00:002014-04-28T10:48:22.052+00:00If it were any other philosophy, it would be encou...If it were any other philosophy, it would be encouraged to grow.

That makes total sense now. Thanks for clearing it up.<br /><br />Extrapolating, this means that the main problem miners have with ganking is that they aren't getting any ad revenue from the YouTube videos that show enforcement actions against them. Do we have any entertainment lawyers?

EVE is meant to be a dangerous place. That is the fun of it. It is easy to get emotionally invested in an MMO and equate an attack on your ship as an attack on one's person in IRL. That's why your hands shake with adreniline when you PVP. But ganking is a game mechanic. You can't be a space pirate without being able to pillage and plunder. Likewise you can't be a vigilante permit hunter without ganking. Stop the whining! Not every war involves a wardec. Pick up a Small Nuetron Blaster II and fight back! As a rebel I stand with Big G. Oh and btw there are a lot more of us than you think.

I used to be a mindless AFK miner and frankly It is not the afk mining that bothers me, it is the terrible insults and the cry baby nature of most Miners that is pathetic. I have lost 1 mackinaw, 2 retrievers, and 2 covetors to AFK suicide ganks, and I knew the risk I was taking. I know the risk I am taking in this game everytime I login. For instance I almost accidentally took a freighter full of 200 million ISK through Isanamo and hit stop before I went through the jump gate. because I used my brain.
