My EVE

And to answer your question

Do YOU think you are a bad person?

Feeling empathy is usually reserved for face-to-face interactions, not the pretty much completely detached environment of EvE Online. Are there lines that should not be crossed, even within the game? Probably. Scamming a faceless mark or blowing up a random miner however are well below that line. In fact, where do you draw the line in the first place? When do interactions inside the game become morally wrong outside of it? Every time someone might feel hurt? Then the game becomes impossible to play.

I'd go as far as to say that empathy, as applied to a random person within the game, is probably more Weltschmerz than anything else.

How would you like to live in a living hell? That said, as long as it remains in The Magic Circle we are very lenient in what we allow, as all of you are well aware. This does not give you the right to be anti-social just because you enjoy tormenting others.

DISCLAIMER: I will not comment in any way, shape or form on the recent events and decisions made in relation to those events. I will only clarify how customer support enforces our policies to provide clarity on the day to day application of those policies.

I am going to explain this only once; and this really should have been clear to anyone bothering to apply some common sense to the EULA/ToS.

What happens inside the The Magic Circle is allowed as long as it abides by the rules of The Magic Circle (this is why you are allowed to hit someone in a boxing match, but not outside the ring). However, as soon as any action steps outside The Magic Circle and threatens harm to anyone in real life in any way shape or form, or when you incite others to do so (or when your in game actions are specifically geared towards that, joke or no joke), you break the EULA/ToS; even if you are only stating intent.

Any GM will always take immediate action when this is done.

And for those who think they can force an in game situation out of The Magic Circle to avoid in game consequences by threatening with suicide; the GM department has a strict policy of informing local and international law enforcement agencies of any suicide threats issued NO MATTER THE CONTEXT. In other words, do NOT joke about that. When a RL life is threatened we do not take any risks, ever.

Why is it the smartest people in the world always agree with me? Funny that,no?

The OP "seems" to make sense if one applies a mass-media acquired understanding of the elements he/she chooses to address. The big HOWEVER to all this is, fortunately (or no), nobody's exitting reality to boot this game. Everyone is as ensconced in this time/space frame as they were before they clicked that icon. Furthermore, if anyone believes they ARE in another reality (virtual, or no) when they enter the game, there's a diagnosis for that as well.

Absolving themselves from the consequences of their acts because people choose to imagine that nothing "real" is happening anyway is merely a form of self-delusion, and anyone who feels that's a necessary step to take before engaging in immoral or unethical behavior at least has the virtue of realizing it is a step from civil behavior into uncivil behavior. Quite literally, it is a step from cerebral cortex mitigated behavior into reptilian stem behavior, or a giant leap into the animalistic past.

The OP seems to confuse psychopathy with anti-social personality disorder. Though the two are related in many ways, the psychopathy is expressed in many different disorders. ASPD is expressed in many different ways. It used to be called sociopathy, and was associated strictly with violent criminals that had no remorse for their activities. However, the science has come to accept this behavior isn't limited to serial killers. It's found in the wide spectrum of societal positions as defined by activities, from the board room to the construction site if you will...and yes, in EVE, as well.

The truest marker of this behavior is does the activity engaged in generate activity in the frontal lobe of the brain, or can it be completed within the reptilian stem: The frontal lobe being where the "rights and wrongs" of behavior are mititgated. The reptilian stem being bereft of such considerations. The existence of remorse or feelings of "guilt" are the generally accepted markers.

One might pretend to attempt to imitate a psychopath, or ASPD, but it's difficult to be assured that being capable of such behavior on any level, under any pretense isn't symptomatic of possessing these disorders. Having a group of peers insist this is all mistaken thinking, or having the individual in question insisting it was all just pretense, or virtual, is inconsequential at best. No one possessing any of this array of disorders is likely to admit this as fact, either through ignorance, pure unawareness, or flat denial to further the aims these disorders demand.

ASPD is believed to prevail within Western society (from 60 upwards to 80% depending on what study you read) so it's not only highly unlikely, but it's rather naive as well to believe EVE doesn't have its share on a percentage basis. As the prevailing behavior exhibited by EVE players - or even the behavior celebrated by a large portion of EVE players, is precisely the type of behavior diagnosed as part of this spectrum of disorders, it would be unusual (or odd) if ASPD were not present in a density reflective of the general population.

Psychopathy, on the other hand, has a smaller spectrum insofar as is understood at present. However, it wouldn't be surprising if EVE had its fair share of those, as well. Be it ASPD or Psychopathy, it's futile to point out and castigate people for this behavior, as they are incapable of realizing or understanding the point you'd be trying to make. One must either accept its presence and live with it, or move on in hopes of finding somewhere they aren't present. Given the pervasive presence of ASPD especially, it's highly unlikely such a place exists, and if you think you've found one, you may be deluding yourself....or wishful thinking.
