EVE General Discussion

I simply can't understand why not letting it be like it was before ?

I mean, impersonating players or corporations are fine.

Okay, eventually, not NPC corporations as you can trick newbies with it... But that's all.

"If you're going to follow us to the top harden the **** up." This is ridiculous, CCP.

Also, how does this affect ... unimpersonation... for lack of a better word.

Say for example I am a member of Corp A. I decide I want to rip them off, and the best way for me to do that is to get another character into the corp. So I apply to corp with my alt, Alty McNotGunslinger, say (via my main) to the directors or recruitment people "hey my friend wants to join corp too" and Alty McNotGunslinger gets accepted because I vouched for him, and then using that character I steal things, destroy assets, or otherwise harm the corp...

Would I then get banned if Corp A petition what happened - I didn't impersonate anyone, not even myself, but I certainly went out of my way to misrepresent who a character was. Is that against the rules now too?

It is crystal clear that these new - ahem I mean "clarifications of existing" - policies are nothing more than a massive shrinkage of the sandbox, designed to stamp out vast swaths of the lying and scamming that make EVE the game we love

What's the deal if a characters name references to the name, does that constitute impersonation as well?
Cause it clearly labels onself as an alt. (i.e I make a character called jill chastots alt)

Removed double post

all this effort and whining from so many goons and others, when you end up stop playing eve, is this something you wanna remember you spent your time on?

You know when I used to do corp-theft I would do a few things as I left the corp with their assets: I would tell them I was an extension of N3 or Ev0ke (When it existed) Or White noise, or whatever the first thing I saw on the map was. Because I wanted to make someone hate others. I can't do this any more because now if I claim I an extension of X alliance sent here to disrupt flow and destroy assets I can be banned. How does this system work? You are now saying I can't lie to people? How is this a game that breaks the chain of MMOs with horrible systems of the GM overlord saving you if you get scammed. Eve DEFIED sandbox MMOs and now it threatens the very existence of what it has created.

With this change you can no longer make yourself sound like you're an actual high up. I mean impersonation as a whole should be allowed 100%. (Impersonationg GMs does not qualify under this as its an meta rank) CCP needs to stop glorifying good play and promote both sides of the fence. This would be like telling miners they can no longer have mining alts. They would be up in arms. I hate to use the token phrase "Muh Freedoms" but it seems to come into play quite well.

For years scammers have had the ability to make quadrillions of isk from those who are less cranially gifted. Now with this change you've broken that. Because you cannot claim to be the alt or main of anyone, nor can you claim to be parts of groups you are not, nor are you able to even tell the truth. You again dug a hole for yourselves that will force the hand of everyone around you. And this is practically being ignored at this point because most of you have your noses so high that you're too busy swatting flies to actually read the community backlash against such a change. What's next CCP, are you going to reimburse people who get scammed because you want to make the game fun for everyone? What's next, can people be banned if they blow up those who give them ransoms because its lying and we can't have that!

I half suspect you to just ban scams entirely and watch your playerbase go from a functional society that has a group for everyone to a mining serf kingdom,

There is. Reputation.

Trust implies the possibility of betrayal.

This.

Your Alt is Slacking...updated with new ToS

EULA changes don't fix stupid, ISK transfers and Void L fixes stupid.
