Groups gate camp for a variety of reasons.


A group being attacked in their own space by a roaming PvP pilot or gang might form a gate camp specifically to block or catch their attackers. Or a group might camp simply to generate [[EVE_Lexicon#Content|Content]] for pilots with nothing better to do. EVE University sometimes gate camps because the format is a good way to introduce new pilots to some key PvP mechanics without the full complication of a roaming fleet.

Some players gate camp as a profession, to earn money. Given the risks involved, this must be done with care, weighing up how to achieve the most cost-effective ship and fit choices.
