Question for Open players who don't like PVP/ganking... help me understand
- Thread starter Danquememe
- Start date
How about just git away? That would be fairly sufficient.
10% success rate isn't much to rave about. I wonder what the 'going to PG' percentage is?

Sufficient for what, exactly?
It's an open thread inviting responses from non-gankers....?
That's not to say the ganker community doesn't ALSO engage in the PvE community. You see all rectangles are squares but not all squares are rectangle.
No no..You misunderstand. I am replying specifically on your lack of motivation for gitting gud-which is fine. I was merely posing another option of perhaps just gitting away in game.
Certainly they engage in the activity.... The Community.... Not so much. Square peg / Round Hole and all.
It technically is, but in gimped state with Solo mode. I still dream that true offline will come one day, but that's beyond my point. What me, and other players are suggesting is IMPROVING Open, because it's broken in more ways than one. Currently there's really no purose or reason to do anything, it's highly exploitable. Although It could really be made into amazing mode players wouldn't want to jump in any other, and with few very simple steps. It is very sad, however, that Fdev simply doesn't care about it.
smash to fit....and all. Although not entirely certain they don't engage in or with the Community. I'm sure there's a logical fallacy in there about No True PvE'r

I think you misunderstood more; I mean to say that there are other things to git gud at than ganking. I work on gitting gud as some of those instead.
I don't think it happens that often, but on dozen or so occasions I have been sitting in a station refueling or whatnot, and someone types in the chat they need help with a wing mission (that is expiring soon or they just wanted help with). So I've helped people with that. I've also ran into a guy who was having trouble entering the blowhole / mail slot to a station, so I sent him a party invite and talked him through the controls and some tips. Ended up spending the rest of the day mentoring him.
So while it is rare, it does happen. Most of the friends I play the game with are people I've known for awhile through other games, etc. There's only one person who I originally met through the game, and he role-played as a pirate. Straight up interdicted me and then sent me a message saying, "Arrrghhhh give me 20 tons of that booty matey or I'll blow you to bits" or something like that. I couldn't stop laughing. And of course I didn't give him jack. So we fought for awhile and he was using a tactic I've never seen in PVP before. I can't remember exactly what he was doing, but I think he had his ship in stealth mode so I couldn't lock targeting onto him (he wasn't using heat sinks). I only had one fixed weapon on my ship, so I wasn't able to do much damage. I ended up sending him a party invite and we've become pretty good friends. So it does happen.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret the Ganker Community doesn't want you to know. Keep it to yourself though, it is very secret.
Your average ganker isn't part of the Ganker Community either.
Despite what some may claim, the entry bar to logging in for an hour to make Asps go pop for kicks and giggles isn't really that high, and there is no requirement for a membership card either. These forums are not representative of the player base; your average cmdr is wholly unaware of all the purple-haired drama. Some prefer PvE, some pew at hollow icons but in the end most people just log-in, have some fun, then move on to other parts of their life.

Nowhere did I disagree with that so no misunderstanding. I never mentioned git gud just git away (see you don't have to engage if you bounce out-in game).
Keep the dream alive.
That is pretty much just it, isn't it.

Oh, ok. Cos that looks to me like you were replying to me specifically about my lack of motivation to git gud.....
what are you talking about dude?
By the way, 3k+ replies, and thread going almost for month in the top proves that forum PVP is best PVP!
Only wish community in-game would be at least distantly THAT active, eh?

I have been okay with that since december 14th 2014. There are weapons on your ship, there is a trigger on your stick. Your fingers, your choice. I'm not going to police the fingers of 200,000 cmdrs, I'm just gonna make sure my fingers make sure none of that negatively impacts my little Adder.

yeah well, there hasn't been a good Hotel California in quite a while and talking about mining income got boring eventually. I am sure this topic will keep us busy until FD makes some kind of announcement about EDO that we are very [insert emotion] about.
I am saying you can just GET AWAY from gankers in the game (waking out). You don't have to GIT GUD (you must have missed the WHICH IS FINE part). That is the option. Then you can focus on GITting GUD at mining or whatever your fancy is.
I hope that clears it up for you.
