He might use his Lawyer super powers to find you in real life.
And then he will send a ticket to CCP.

We'll see who's laughing then!



i think it will be this kind of ticket he send them

I can't put my finger on it, but he sounds upset...

Clearly EVE isn't a game for him though so hopefully he finds what he is looking for in another game.

As a lawyer, saying that he will go after and find people in real life because he feels the rules are wrong doesn't sound that good imo. Perhaps he should go after CCP instead...

For the record, If I was making $2000 a day, I might be tempted to go fly $500 officer fit ships for laughs, then again, NOT around Jita ffs Shocked but anyway, I think scamming the guy like that was silly.

If I made friends with a player able to throw money around on that scale, I'd teach him some EVE mechanics and get him to either sponsor an existing corp or start something going. He obviously just want to fly around, pretty sure he would quickly realize that it's actually more fun flying cheaper stuff anyway.

You fools just killed a CCP High Roller.

I apparently have no idea what I'm doing.

There you go.

You can blather on about how you think getting ganked in a videogame is grand larceny, but what he said is genuinely a crime.



I disagree that what he said was a crome. At least in my country, speech and seeking justice or reparitions are not crimes. He just said he's looking for them, There was no threat of bodily harm. Perhaps he just wants to subpoena them, prosecute and incarcerate them. Is that a crime too? He's a lawyer, perhaps he'll accept monetary compensation like a plea bargain.

The lawyer said his "threats" were said out of anger, and that he didn't meant them really (which we can all relate to, I'm sure). Talk about stereotypes here. Respect is a two way street, and for an elite gaming community, we sure can be childish douches sometimes.

Goddmamn, he lost over 1000$... He was actually robbed. The absence of morality there is astounding. Oh well, eve be eve.



In Canada we have a name for your kind. We call you liberals and you're not particularly well liked, specifically for this hug-a-thug mentality.

Only a liberal could excuse an actual crime because he "didn't mean it", while vilifying people who committed no crimes and played 100% within the rules of the game. Ugh

Whether or not you think that scamming is "moral" is completely irrelevant. Scamming is a legitimate, well-known, even celebrated form of gameplay in Eve Online. You'd have to be willfully stupid to not realize that coming into this game. RL life threats on the other hand are in clear violation of the EULA, are abhorred by the entire community and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Dude should lose his account at the minimum for making RL threats, end of story.

Also. The 1000.00 was lost the moment this moron bought however many PLEX from CCP. The gankers and the scammers took only in game assets, which is not even close to the same thing. None of the people involved in either the gank or the scam are in any way shape or form responsible for this guy's lack of financial restraint. Nor are they responsible for this guy's lack of research into a game that he's dumping THOUSANDS of dollars into.

No sympathy at all. None.

Incarcerate them for what? Winning at a video game is not a crime.

Whether or not it is an honest to goodness crime is irrelevant. It's sure to be vastly different based upon what region of the world you happen to live in. It is a violation of the EULA however, and that is all that matters.

I laughed at that article. Too good to be true, yet I fear it is.
It's somewhere sad though. The guy clearly will recover from this financially if it even dent his bank account but his view upon human beings may be permanently damaged.

Not the most cleverest of people around, lawyer? my behind not with the threads.

As a long term player it is for me difficult at times to remember how it was when I first embarked in EVE and project that on new players.
Though 10 days old I didn't fell for the "Lofty scam". Not that years later I didn't fell for others… Roll


This just shows how harsh and cruel EVE is and for newbies it can be a horrific experience.
Not something I would be proud of but meh, that's just me.

Nope.

Infact a liberal, in the true sense of the word, is against intervention in private affairs and places weight on personal freedom of action, as well as personal responsibility for those actions. As stemming from the concept of liberty.

You have contrived the term to mean its exact opposite.

That's a libertarian.

A liberal is someone who tells other people what to do with their money.

No, thats a conservative.

Its really quite incredible how some North Americans has managed to contrive these terms into something that has no bearing whatsoever on their actual meaning or even their actual context.
