EVE General Discussion

To start this off on the right foot, ill start with this quote

ISD LackOfFaith:

[quote ]Abuse cases are investigated on a case by case basis by the GM team. If you have a specific case or example you would like to bring up with them, or to have clarified, please file a support ticket. It's always better to ask first when serious EULA/ToS violations are on the line.

CCP are aware of the general response and confusion over the change, having seen it themselves and been briefed by ISD CCL. They have not made a response yet, but I'm sure they will when they are ready to.[/quote]


I had zero issue with The impersonation of ccp employee's part on the change to tos. However by changing the tos in the manner in which is had, Does it not that significantly change the meta game around. Before gm's just had your rename a corporation or player if it was impersonating a corp, alliance, or another player.

By changing the game rules from something of the context for disciplinary action against players in the Naming Policy applies to blatantly offensive names. To now in the TOS, which can include everything up to Full perm Ban for any impersonation is just highly uncalled for.

And with the quote above added to the picture. Many Players have checked in the past to see if something was legal justification or not. However The legal justification for the fringe meta gaming depended on individual gms until there was to much community backlash (on a approved by gm concept) to you will be banned for doing it. One Major example is what is refferd to as the boomerang exploit, in the begging it was a fully legal thing, now you cant in high sec / was ban-able before the fix went into place.

So in the end, Why blur the line and move something that's been legitimized to the possibly for a full outright ban option. after all eve is harsh. why should any part of the game become coddled. (After all there is still the rule you cant scam / trick bran new players)
