Do people actually find ruining the fun of others fun?
yes.
ever heard of depths ganking in deepwoken
try 90%
I don’t know crap about deepwoken
try 100%
That’s basically what happened with me too. Also before the deckhand update I was extremely overprotective of my fame since I wanted to get my deckhands to legendary, so I’d run from almost every encounter and would be paranoid about potential gankers. After that tho since fame has no real use I just fight back and end up either winning or at least getting them low
random killing people in the permadeath zone
yea pretty much my exact experience also. also when renown became useless for deckhands i simply reset my fame to neutral and i essentially encounter little to no gankers ever now
if they’re ganking someone with high renown or in a high infamy clan then i think that’s fine
i find that the more toxic a ganker is the less skill they usually have lol
Ganking has a scale of severity affected by several factors
I consider these 4 main things to gauge how toxic a gank was
-the user’s build
-clan affiliation
-motive/reason
-if profit/economy was lost during the attack
I’d say it has to do with the amount of infamy someone has, jumping a casual with a 400 infamy bank clan doesn’t really make any sense especially because it doesn’t really give you anything, but if you don’t intend to PVP you should not join a large clan
I think pvp in ao could be fixed if it was only enabled on wilderness islands / at sea. Just turn off pvp in kingdom owned / civilized areas
they deserve to be ganked irl
But seriously i hate it when a random person hunts and kills me, and even more when they 2v1 me or run away at low hp even though they started the fight.
I believe all gankers should be killed with hammers and nails

Now the gankers at sameria are just gonna wait to sink my boat as soon as I try to leave instead of spawnkilling unloaded people 
Used to hate gankers but I can defend myself now. Most gankers I fought are obese size abusers, so it’s pretty easy to get a gun m1+ skill in; usually when they get hit with a 300 damage piercing shot, they just withdraw.
At one point I was offering reverse gank service to a group of friends; basically, they show proofs that someone did them wrong, and Gerhman joins the hunt. 100 galleons per kill
they run away from fight they started, really annoying
That sounds like a bargain on their side
…mate if you offer this service to others as well, i’d be more than happy to pay up.
I pvp a lot and gankers are terrible. I know one reason for gankers is because high pks in a low amount of time means that you’re good at pvp and a god and all that and it’s been that way since wom. But in wom it was way easier to ramp up kills because health was lower fights were quicker and every pvper spawned at the coliseum. Now it pains me to see people make alts in order to gank randoms and add that to their count of player kills so they can be renowned as someone who’s good at pvp. Though most of the time people run cheese builds and things where the kills come easy. I just wish people would run 1s.
tldr: dont gank 1v1 and be kind
