Did you enjoy it?
If you enjoyed it theres no question of if it was necessary. It was.
Honestly, I didn't even get the rush I did when I've gone after
previous people, like when someone was murdering auth ships in open. Or when I've gone ganker-baiting. I guess it didn't feel like it carried the same risk - I was going after someone that was bounty-hunting during a war and had consistently lost like twelve straight days of wars split across three separate conflicts. They were someone that couldn't hack it against CZ NPCs.
I guess it was
slightly satisfiying in a sort of "aha,
caught you" kinda way, but not in any kind of "two gladiators step into the ring of honour" sense. Certainly not the rush I get when someone else attacks
me and I give them a run for their money.
