Crime & Punishment

I think your taking this a bit too far. You didn't put your trust in your fellow man. You put your trust in a person who is playing a pvp game. Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow and be able to look at it for what it really is.

If you log onto Battlefield 3 you would expect to get shot/blown up right? Well if you expect that getting blown up - along with a myriad of other types of attacks - will happen to you in EvE, then you can learn to protect yourself and how to survive and do well in this game. CCP puts new players in a cocoon in the starter systems and they don't reallize what a harsh game this is until they leave the nursery (unless this happened in a starter system in which case it's a whole different story)

I am sure it is easier to make list of all pirate who honor ransom.

as said difference of opinion and yes it's a harsh game, I repeat, just attempting to raise awareness for the random rookie trolling the forums and coming across this so he'll be forewarned and maybe not make the same mistake I made, if it can happen it will happen and putting my faith in my fellow man was not an understatement, experienced enough rip-offs, scams, screw overs on the internet, can live with that, alas real life ain't any better, of course there are exceptions, some people do deserve the trust others put in them, just wish there were more of those, that's all.

Crime & Punishment is not for game rule breaks. The Petition system is used for those.
Crime & Punishment is for 'In Character' laws being broken, such as failing to honour a ransom. Or corp theft etc.

That is why people are saying to use that forum.

Would love to see people actually read. It is not about these particular players and more about AWARENESS for new players like myself that they fully realize how harsh this game can be, the situation named is mainly an EXAMPLE of what happens when you are naïve about your fellow players in this game and hence I am still convinced that the topic is in the right spot although I might just troll over to that forum to spam the crap out of it about how dishonest these guys are, but nope, it is part of the game, I gambled, I lost, I live on, the fact remains I intend this topic for NEW PLAYERS, so you forum warriors please get off my back that the topic is in the wrong place, it is not intended for you, your opinion is noted and I reject it by my arguments named above. If it bugs you that bad then get a forum mod to move this topic.

Yep. The Crime and Punishment section is where we discuss EULA breaches.

Also, If your faith in humanity is being shaken by treachery in a game about treachery I recommend avoid games altogether. I found out about this one called 'Risk' the other day. Seems the players try to take over the world. Megalomaniacs.

Julius, thank you for the support and I would and likely will apply the same stance myself in the future (if I ever get to ransom someone) and it's not the point I can apply these situations to just a game but simply a stance I can apply to general populous, you do it because you can, morality isn't a boon anymore, it's a burden, that it's more evident in this game is obvious, that there are still people out there that believe in fairplay and honor is the reason I am trying to raise awareness XD, I obviously not aware this game was based on threachery, again as said before, I had to find out the hard way and again if I can prevent just about anyone from getting caught I've achieved what I'm trying to accomplish.

Never pay ransom. Just punch self destruct, spam a warp-out, and accept your losses as they come.

Best case scenario, you manage to commit to a warp out before they lock the pod down. Worst case scenario, you get popped, podded, and sent home.

Every time you undock, you have to acknowledge that you may not make it back with your ship, cargo, or implants.

Ransom only encourages them and makes it even more profitable than salvaging your modules and cargo.

There is nothing in the game that's enough to get worked up over, unless you did something stupid.

Well, this thread shows that the community has changed, and I'm not sure it's for the better. At least some 3-4 years ago ransoms were (usually, obviously not always) honoured and this kind of thread would of gotten much more support from actual pirates chiming in that not honouring ransoms hurts their playstyle. But I suppose "true pirates" are a dying breed as people seem to be only interested in getting killmails at any cost.

Now it's mostly "hurpadurp honour in eve LOL?" Really don't like this change in attitude.

And even easier to have alts submit your main to that list.
