Ashes Talk: Total Gank Fest
Join us for the next Ashes Talk as we chat about whether or not Ashes of Creation will be a Total Gank Fest. With the most recent Developer Discussion #45 it seemed only fitting we discuss some of the concerns so many have about Ashes of Creation being an absolute gank fest. As always if you like the video drop a like and maybe think about subscribing. Support is always appreciated.

Based on what they have said so far (unless I missed something) if you roll with several friends it will be super easy to to run and gun anyone you see and virtually never be stopped. All you need is 2 teams of 3. Team 1 does all the killing while team 2 follows and provides protection. Team 2 steps in only if needed and when team 1 corruption gets too high deposit items in guild bank. or personal bank if gbank is blocked. 2 then go find a mob to kill you and team 2 watches your corps until you get back. start over again and teams switch roles.
Doing this will allow you to farm mats far faster than people running on their own trying to do it. Not only that if you come across another corrupted you might get gear/weapon upgrade. No reason in this game not to gank everything. Also this is for max level characters and preferably alts made specifically just for this.
Thanks buddy! It's always a pleasure doing them! Thanks for sharing your ideas! Just a heads up though...a person will only die and clear corruption if they are killed by a bounty hunter. the other way is to ensure they kill enough mobs or targets to clear off the corruption debt they are in.
-Ganking is also assymetrical war, if you know your node will attack the other node in a few weeks you should completely gank everybody there and make them starve
-Ganking is important for long term wars against other players, because the other players have this sad mentality of hoarding items and behaving like drone ants, in the future all those people will become rich, powerful, will have better gear and they will all bring problems to you
So in the end of the day ganking is just self-defense, gankers are actually fighting future opression, the lack of violence creates opression by people who behave like drone ants.
