I support this topic because I want more tears to flow. Carebear tears are easy to harvest and hard to sell due to a...flooded market XD. Ninja tears are almost as easy to harvest and sell to mission runners. Ganker tears are the sweetest of all though and universally purchased by hauling alts everywhere for a considerable profit.
I'd rather support Galvatine's option due to the failings of the current bounty system. Not that I think Galvatine's option doesn't contain flaws (which are pointed out in the relevant thread). I'd rather see larger scale conflicts in high-sec that make it as dangerous for gankers/ninja's to operate with impunity due to player interaction, not concord interaction. This is relevant because every ganker/ninja I know/speak to does it to "Encourage carebears to pvp."
Never have I heard a ganker/ninja say something like "I do this because I have a small ***** irl/my mommy told me I have to move out her basement/I get bullied at school and this makes me feel better/my gf stomps on my ********* while wearing high heels and this just makes me feel better. Honestly, if you do feel this way, do it right. Go down to your local police recruitment center like all the other bullied kids I knew in high school and learn to harass people irl for fun and rl profit.
This will get the pvp that gankers/ninjas profess to desire in high sec going (rather than joining fw or rvb). Exciting things like dodging fleets of bounty hunters who used to be former corp mates with an ax to grind, or a blob of noobs trying to earn enough to buy first battleship. Actually I think that maybe any corp that has over a certain amount of ganks in high sec should have a bounty placed on all members to make it truly pvp worthy, kind of like a wardec. I do tend to think that maybe the gankers/ninjas all <3 a mostly risk free method of producing income (sounds kinda carebearish to me). Sorry sec status is too easy (if excessively boring) to increase for losses to be a significant penalty. If I have my hauler alt for when my sec status gets too low, so should you as many of you have been at it for far too long to not have made one.
Or is the real reason ganking is so widespread is because there are few consequences for doing so and laughter all around for the gankers/ninjas? Keep in mind, I've ganked (and made a profit) after having been ganked (and lost quite a bet of my isk, which tbh wasn't a lot in eve terms) and have no real issue with it either way (it just gives me the giggles when a ninja or ganker needs to feed his starving wife and 75 kids and complains when he/she fails to gank/ninja you, seriously..gonna have to make a recording of a corp m8 QQing after failing a gank). <--Thats why I'm using this name to post. I don't want him to know its coming XD.
Or maybe (let the flood of tears be released...please) sec status loss should be directly related to the isk value of goods dropped by the target. You get that one big score and then have to hide out for a long time (kinda like robbing and bank and heading to Russia XD). Let sec status go to -50ish perhaps? -10 doesn't seem enough for a profit of 1 bil on a gank. This will repopulate low sec and make teh pew pew all around. I hope you don't mind if I spam "come through my gaaate, and you'll be podded soon" when you try to come to my corps "claimed" territory. See all easy solutions for teh creation of pew pew. FLAME ON!
P.S. For the record, I do it because people hurt my feelings at school XD and it makes me feel better to taste the tears of other people.
