Thank you for proving my point. Your own reply only works if I am upset. Since you collectively cannot stand the fact that I am mocking you, you twist my statement (the lying to yourself element) that I am crying over you. I'd laugh but it actually makes me sad for you that you need to hurt people to give yourself a sense of self worth.
Being completely honest, I have never been in a position of victim on this game.
Unlike you lot, though, rather than using emotional arguments, I depend on facts.
"Gank tactics" are not profitable in the game. You make no significant money, the game doesn't have an experience system in the sense that most PK scenarios do, and, if you are using ammunition based weaponry, it usually costs you more than than the couple of credits you might make on (possible) salvage.
As a result, you have to look outside the game for motivations. Motivations vary for most actions, but it is telling that you use "interactions" when you are talking about killing another player in game without communicating with them, and that you are choosing targets that cannot fight back. When you look up social interaction, one of the key words in the definition is "with". You do not interact AGAINST someone, you interact WITH them.
Player versus player, while closer in mindset, is still misleading. Versus involves competition, but you are not competing; you literally don't want someone that can provide a challenge.
As a result, when people in this venue say PvP Interaction in relation to ganking, they are making an oxymoron to cover the fact that they want to assault a player that is not a challenge.
You want, and, for the most part, have, a lack of repercussions for abuse. What I have really done is to call you on your behavior, and you don't like the fact that anyone is willing to say so to your face. You know that your actions are not socially acceptable, and you don't want someone spoiling your fun even when that fun is at the expense of someone else.
