The way you are

[McNeo]

And here is the reason I fly only with people I know. Its just, now I can't fly with one of my most valued friends in my favorite faction anymore.

Oddly, the gameplay solution to stopping ganks is reverting to 4.83. Then, people can throw whatever they like at us, and they will die all the same due to the old novas. But I don't think that's going to happen.

Joe, I'd love it if the world were like that. I really would, but game theory shows what happens when people are nice guys. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the pudding, which is a shame. Most of us are used to it by now.

Of course, we are all guilty of initiating or being a part of ganks. Recently, I took a battlecruiser into a battle against 6 pirates, just before the entirity of New York came down on their head. I didn't check until there were two or so left. My bad. I've seen other people do it too, with no regard for what I say. Indie cruiser just the other day, on a HF bomber, and not pulling out despite repeated orders to do so.

This stuff happens everywhere. I've already accepted that people don't give a damn most of the time, and those that do are prone to mistakes or simply play with the wrong people.

I really wish I was that optimistic, Hyung. I think I used to be, but I don't remember.
But ever since the first voiders invasion and the subsequent failure to educate the majority first huge influx of Corsairs (of which Zelot (for example) was a part), I've stayed with a group of good friends and rarely anybody else.
We may be in this together, but I was quite quick to ditch the douche and stay with those I valued, rather than waste my time on people I didn't know. I've been there too. I think about a day ago, Ench would have agreed with you too, but now, I dont know.
