Hey guys, let's all victim shame and hold a sociopath up as a model EVE subscriber.

I'm pleased to see that most of you are following my instructions.

Scamming is one thing, it's practically part and parcel of the game. But escalating beyond that to tormenting and humiliating someone desperate to get back what they lost for the sole purpose of getting your jollies is the behavior of a sociopath. It's all well and good to say "Just log off of TS" when you're sitting comfortable in your chair feeling all smug, maybe nursing a beer or licking cheeto dust off your fingers, it's quite another when you've just been brought to a crushing low.

And then someone offers you a glimmer of hope that maybe it will get better, so you stay on TS.

I agree wholeheartedly that the "bonus room" is just what Jester described: A torture chamber. I had the "pleasure" of becoming a bonus room contestant earlier this week, and it's just as bad as it sounds.
~~~~snip~~~

I got into the bonus room, and after a bit of discussion, I was promised that I would get five times my investment if I showed complete faith. I didn't want to, but I felt so trapped, and the people in the room were very convincing. I finally began transferring all of my assets - about 5 billion ISK worth - to the members in the room.
~~~~Sorry greedy~~~

After they had all of my assets, they told me that I needed to complete a few additional tasks. Once again, I didn't want to, but I felt like I had no choice, since they had all my assets. I had no idea what to do. They made me read some poetry and sections from various websites.

I thought I was done after this, but NO! I began to be sure that this was a scam,~~~it was the min you trusted ER1~~~ but I had to keep going. I was told to sing various songs. It was so humiliating, but all of my ISK and assets were in their hands. I could feel them laughing at me the whole time. I begged them to stop, but they wouldn't!

I finally gave up. They told me I was close, but I was sure I would have lost anyway in the end. I now have nothing, just a rookie ship, and I don't even know if I want to play EVE anymore. I used to PLEX my account, and I am just a college student, ~~~ then you really should be smarter than this~~~and these guys took everything from me - even my dignity.

Now, I have nothing left, but my Orca alt. Thought about a forum alt to post this, but what difference does it make anymore. With no dignity comes apathy. I am down, but not out, however.

I hope that I eventually can train to do the things I love doing in the game. Mining, missioning, some small gang stuff. But I know it will be a long climb. Those who wish to join me in combating this monster, Erotica 1, are welcome to join my corp. It isn't much, as I don't have much. But hopefully we can show these sociopaths we will not be stomped into oblivion.

**** all you guys that hurt people like me!

I live in Jita so f*ck off

If you'd like to discuss this issue, please feel free to do so in the original thread that was created, and stop spamming the forums with new threads.

This is a situation that we've been monitoring for some time now, and recent events have sparked renewed discussion with regards to what, if anything will be done in regards to what's happened.

Thanks.
