The big reason we have these same arguments over and over is (and I can hear the clippity clop of white knight fanvoys already) Frontier, and their desire to capture the biggest market share with the least amount of work, resulting in a broken game of wobbly mechanics built on top of other incomplete mechanics that doesnt know what it wants to be, for example pitched as 'choices have impact' in a harsh unforgiving galaxy, yet slowly lowering its difficulty and challenge to the point its barely more engaging than Space Farmville, saying theyre cracking down on cheats when they havent, and not throwing their weight around regarding gankers and exploits in general until some of the chosen few got targeted.

As their cash cow and with people still spending a fortune on vanity items, this isnt going to change as they wont want to rock the boat. The closest we came to that was the ai overhaul and we saw how quickly that got wound back in.

I'm sure forcing PvE players in their trade ships in open will decrease the number of gank videos because of reasons.

These gankers .... gotta love 'em. "I gank because of the forum posts, I got so sick of it, I decided to take it out on everything that moves" or "I has no content, so I am forced to gank your honour. Nothing I can do about it".
It's the amount of responsibility these fellers accept for their own actions that makes me trust them when they say: "If I had content, I wouldn't gank. Honest!".

Plus you read how much fun ganking is to them. Gankers will be gankers. It's a given.

Ganking is a part of the game. Just like ganking a lane in league of legends to stop someone elses progression.

The minute you start effecting or defending a playergroup. Its not longer PVE.

You spend the first 5-10 minutes of the game Farming minions and jungle camps in League. You do both. Elite Dangerous has both. You're supposed to be ganking traders, data runners and so on.

Ive come to the conclusion Maynard is either told to say these things.

Or

Hes here trying to get in-depth feedback by arguing against common sense.

Wonder which one it is.

All players sharing a single galaxy state is also part of the game.

.... as are the three game modes that let players choose whether they can meet any other players.

Exactly. That's not ganking, that's powerplay.

Using a combination of legal & illegal means I have went full darkside now that I've probed c&p for all its loopholes and finished my engineering. Now I'm on a mission to destroy as many players as possible regardless of ship type or rank as long as my interest holds. You guys like it? Ok, that's fantastic, have some more! :D

Sure, knock yourself out. Doesn't affect me one bit. :D

Who knows (apart from Frontier)?

I've got plenty of time....

About 8 months I reckon. Do you have any engineering done? Have you got anything done just in case you're wrong? Have you guys ever put 2 seconds into thinking "Hey you know that 90s kid sure is crazy but maybe hes right about some of this stuff?" Has this ever crossed your mind?

Whats gonna happen if I am right?

You gonna sue them maynard? I know you have spoke up about that. Is that what you're gonna do?

It's still ganking. It being powerplay doesn't make it less ganking.

Note, I do use the Urban Dictionary definition, Merriam Webster doesn't know what I hell I want.

A lot of players will stop playing PP and BGS. And a few PvPers will sit in systems twiddling their thumbs until they decide to go to the nearest CG for some action.

The one thing it definitely isnt though, is griefing.

Which seems to be the FDev forums definition.

Why would I need to do any Engineering? (not that I haven't mind you - five of my six accounts have completed at least the basics).

What is the "win" condition for being "right"?

Why would I sue? I've already had more than my money's worth from the game. I have mentioned that there might possibly be some issues relating to changing the game contrary to its advertising - that can get companies into trouble with the Advertising Standards Authority here in the UK at least. Others have assumed that I was prepared to take legal action relating to my KS pledge(s) - however their assumptions were just that, assumptions.

I am waiting to see what happens although I really doubt that its going to change as much as you hope and if it hasnt changed by the New Year you have said you will be on your merry way.

Interestingly, out of the scores of people I attacked over the weekend, I had a small handful shoot me friend requests and be very enthusiastic about the experience. I think I added six people to my contacts with promise's for rematches in the near future.
