    Ganking

    Concept »

    The act of ganking is when a person (or group of people) go after unsuspecting foes in a manner in which they cannot defend.

    Short summary describing this concept.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    The term derives mostly from PVP (Player Vs. Player) areas in an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game). Gankers usually travel in packs and pick on those much weaker than they are. Popular times a ganking will occur are when foes are actively fighting monsters, trying to complete a quest, or are waiting at the spawn point of a quest objective point.
