The way you are

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I read most of it.

And I agree with Balthazzar.

The issue isn't really ganking - the issue is lack of roleplay. Certainly I've come into battles in Bretonia where we've had great RP with the victim, and due to their sense of honor, the Bretonians role-play it down to a 1on1 duel. Great code of chivalric combat and all that - which is how they are in Bretonia.

I've also been involved in battles in Liberty where my character and the person I was flying with ended up being on the receiving end of not just the person we were originally involved with, but a total of 6 more criminal types showed up to jump on us. Gank? Sure - but also a sign of respect for who we are, that they thought it would take that many of them to take us out. And of course, the minor detail that it was two bounty hunter bombers MEANT that it took 4 gunboats and 3 fighters to take us out. I don't recall either one of us complaining afterwards about being ganked - just about how we made them work for the kill.

Role-playing means that sometimes you end up in an unwinnable combat situation. Welcome to the simulation of real-life - you know, the non-hacked Kobiyashi Maru scenario. How you deal with life - and death, even in simulation - can be a learning experience. (Whether you learn something positive or negative is up to you.)

Have I been ganked before on other characters? Sure. I mostly play bounty hunters - and Harvesters. Come on, that SCREAMS gank me. But give me some role-play.

I don't think you really addressed whether the role play was part of it. Even in scheduled events, we still RP - and when they turn into gankfests - well, that which causes you to eject from your ship sometimes makes you stronger.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
