I will never understand gankers/griefers. Rp I’m all for, but ramming another cmdr to death, inside a station no less? What’s the point? What’s your endgame here? Do you want to play alone? Because that’s what happens. It’s weird and sad. Follow that behavior to its logical conclusion and you’ll just be blocked by everyone you interact with or banned from the game. Tf is the point of that?

I’m not very social but I enjoy playing in open because I like the feeling of the active world. It sucks when there’s someone who’s just there to be an asshole.

That is all.

I think the real underlying reason is that the PVP Arena mode is basically dead and there's no true long-term PVP endgame, at least for some. Others are just assholes. But some are bored because the game is light-years wide but inches deep content-wise. No new ships in years. Odyssey is a half-baked disappointment that offers minimal content for maximum grinding while failing to deliver the only thing players have been begging for since Day One. So they gank and grief. It sucks, and it's only ever gotten worse because it seems the gankers have pretty successfully run off a lot of the folks who may have stuck around, and console players don't even get to play on the main server anymore. Putting thousands of hours into my game on Xbox and then being exiled is a rude slap in the face because "wah game dev hard". I'm sure I'm not the only person in the same boat who can't afford a PC to continue playing the actual game, either.

Tl;dr: FDev has not only done nothing to address griefers, their decisions actively promote griefing.
