The Open Only Incentive

No you're not a supporter of free speech, You're a ganker plain and simple trying to justify your actions with flawed logic. IF you were a supporter of free speech you would live and let live not kill everyone who you have a dislike for.

That tree you're barking up couldn't be any further from the right one! :D
 
To the OP and everyone who said there's no open PvE one word....Mobius;)
*sigh*
Patently false.
Mobius is just a private group, or actually three separate private groups nowadays due to group size limit, maintained by a few dedicated individuals.
 
Gotta love how the text in OP is literally invisible to me (unless highlighted). Please don't use custom font colours, it can only go wrong.

On topic: No thanks.

I was killed 10 times yesterday in open at the anarchy CG, I have no idea what for, (bad breath ?) I didn't start any fight. I kept re-spawning and hanging around the station just to see what would happen, but after the 10th rebuy I got fed up and started blocking those who didn't "Catch and Release".

I was engaged twice and killed twice by TWO gwankers in highly engineered ships, not much honor there, and... "BLOCK". Then Mr. (Edited) pitched up and started to show off his FA-off skilz, I just laughed and waited, he didn't disappoint after his third zoom around he engaged me, Not much of a fight and he killed me, great "BLOCK", and so it'll go. I really don't mind seeing only a few empty triangles at a CG who understand that I want to "git gud" and that its pointless to fight to the death against a inexperienced CMDR.

So far I've encountered only one honorable gwanker, CMDR (Edited) on our very first encounter which I initiated, he let me go when my hull was at 20% same thing on the second encounter a few days later, great fun and I did learn from him. So yeah open is fun, I particularly enjoy the Block feature, later when I've the skilz I'll unblock those gwankers.

Edited to remove CMDR names


Why are you lashing out at Han Zulu?

Then you get on a tirade on getting killed in an Anarchy system, expecting what from players? it was your choice to play in Open, it was your choice to see what happened, it was your choice to use the BLOCK option, YOUR choices, choices that Han Zulu supports for everyone to have, as well as the option to choose Solo or private group mode.



And please elaborate how you can have an honorable ganker? as that in itself is contradiction.
A ganker is someone that preys on "easy" targets, most of the time the ganker is of a higher level or having superior gear available to him/her.

What it sounds like, is that you encountered a player that supports the choice of meaningful PvP, that is something completely different compared to the ganking play style.

Don't misquote me, thanks. I was killed 14 times yesterday at the CG, its the pointlessness of it all. I have enough money for 2500 rebuys at 6 million a pop but its not the money, whats the point of killing me 14 times, I have no idea what set them off. (I'm back there today to prove a point), I really want to see how many times the Gank.

I'm starting to get the gist of the Gwanker community, its a club, a group with "jack the ripper" morals and a secret handshake, if you don't know what the handshake is, "bang bang you're dead", great song that.

The Gwankers regard PvP as THEIR open PRIVATE domain and woe betide anyone who transgresses without the secret handshake. I agree with the OP who posted earlier hinting at a Kamikaze kill switch, F-Dev give me the option of turning my ship into a giant FSD enhanced frag bomb that kills anything in a 4km radius, heck if I'm going to get needlessly killed I'd like to go out with a bang.

Don't get your knickers in a twist over being misquoted when you've just accused someone with a posting history of an easy going, play-and-let-play explorer of being a ganker!

No apology for Han Zulu, then - just more baseless and woefully misinformed ranting against PvPers :rolleyes:

I'm guessing that perhaps english isn't your native language?

What people are telling you is that in your post/rant, you were replying to Han Zulu, someone who DOES NOT kill other players, and is strongly against "ganking".
Which kinda makes your post a bit amusing.


Also, "ganker" == someone who kills people much less experienced or much less-well equipped than them in order to get "easy" kills. A "griefer" is someone who does so repeatedly to the same target.

"PvP"'er is someone who enjoys PvP. Gankers are a (deplorable) subset of PvPers; there's no such thing as an honourable ganker. But you can certainly find honourable PvPers who like to teach noobs and generally measure themselves against others of equal or better skill/equipment in order to progress their own skills.
 
Eh. What? LOL! You think I'm a griefer...? ROFLMAO!!! That's hilarious!

Haven't killed a single player so far in Elite. Sorry to disappoint. I'm more of PvE player. Co-op, that kind'a stuff. And exploration. Got killed a couple of times by griefers, but that's okay. I'm not upset over it. I choose mode depending on what I feel like, and what kind'a timeslot I have. If I know I'll be interrupted in RL, I don't want to play in Open to risk getting into a sticky situation I can't just leave whenever I want. And I play in PG when I explore. So... I'm quite sure I'm not the one who killed you. xD

Are you sure you're not a ganker?

No, sorry, can't keep a straight face. :D

Get off your high horse and stop White Knighting, if they wanted a apology from me they would've asked me, besides, banter amongst men requires no apology, banter is a form of wit which allows pride and passion to retain their place without humiliating the opponent.

You still haven't addressed the issue nor answered any of my questions nor negated or provided a counter proposal for my proposals ?, are you incapable of rational thought, remember YOU started this.

Back on topic : does anyone know what the secret handshake is to join the Gwanker community, and what of the Kamikaze kill switch :))
 
*sigh*
Patently false.
Mobius is just a private group, or actually three separate private groups nowadays due to group size limit, maintained by a few dedicated individuals.

Mobius is not false? It has 40,000 members & growing.
https://elitepve.com/page/policy

Private? Anyone can join just send an email. Only abide by the rules not to gank others. It is an open PvE with like minded players.
Whats the problem with group size? All servers have their limits. If more are needed then I'm sure ED and mobius members will add more as its been one of the most successful outcomes of Elite Dangerous.

Its been the best solution to reduce ganking & unwanted PvP. Adding a 'spice' I can just see the gankers planning their ambush spots at sites where the spices are:rolleyes:

What questions?

You haven't actually asked any questions, just babbled and ranted about dying an embarrassing number of times without learning anything about improving your game other than using the Block filter and venting your frustrations on the forum with passive-aggressive insults. Oh well, I suppose it's easier than actually getting good at the game, isn't it?

(lol just bants, right?)

Bolding mine.

Anarchy CG. Anarchy CG in Open no less. What were you expecting?

There's no secret handshake. That's only in your head.
You could try to talk and ask for help, try to figure out what you are doing wrong. ED is very complex, especially PvP mechanics. The things you will never find out from the solo/pg crowd as they have no idea.
I usually don't do CGs, but I was there last night. We fought many fights ,I got killed one time and that was because I chose to stay until the end. Getting away is easy, almost too easy if you know what you are doing.
Or you can just keep on blocking, join mobius and think that ships in this game can be over engineered.
 
14 times deaded, what is the secret handshake :))

If you expected to be killed 14 times, then I would say you've had your money's worth.

Your kill switch idea seems OK, but when you actually think about it would be really silly. To use your witty and original phrase all a "gwanker" need do is to use aforementioned switch in a highly populated area and then get a mate to ice them, causing even more havoc.

Unexpected consequences, Dunno. Unexpected consequences.

Ex-wife jokes went out in around 1988 too, just FYI.
