When shouldn't you scam a moron out of their stuff?
My corp mates and I cant seem to agree on whether or no this is doing eve a service, or if its doing harm to the greater eve community. What do you guys think?

Contract me all of your corps stuff, and Ill tell you.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

It's neither. It's doing something you're allowed to be doing and profiting off of it at the expense of another person. There's only one time you shouldn't scam someone - when you don't want to.

It's not doing EVE a service, it's doing yourself a service. It's not doing harm to the EVE community, it's doing harm to one person or one corp. And it's OK.

That's what I thought as well, but some of em seem to think that u can cure moronism. I don't think its possible, but it does make for a good laugh.

I sadly killed one of the most popular podcasts in eve by relieving a couple of the members of all there assets and wasting there skillpoints.
It was a long term plan that even involved getting the victims to spend months training into capital ships and eventually move them into a wh loaded with all there bpo's ready for the heist.
It went flawlessly, except of course for them quitting.
I won't go into too much detail but if you listened to there podcast in the past you may know who I'm talking about as they did say they would put a bounty on my head...
Sadly this never happened and they just seemed to disappear. :(

This saddened me in a several ways;
It did not spawn any player content for us after the heist.
I lost my fav podcast. (Until high drag, big shout to zao and the crew)
Sometimes wonder if it would of been better to try and advertise our drug sales through said podcast.
They where really cool dudes.
One was a priest so I'm probably going to hell.

Never the less I don't regret it, this is why I love this game.
And I can always take solace in the fact I was never an ******* troll about it! (*cough* erotica)

Appologies for spelling and punctuation, too much vodka >.<

Peace x
