EVE General Discussion

Hmm...I seem to remember someone making a CCP employee sing recently... Was that person banned for that malicious act?

If its someone who I know has spent 2hrs tormenting a victim and his wife to the point of breaking, for no other reason than to sadistically enjoy their suffering and to share their recording of it with "friends", yes, I will absolutely laugh and applaud.

You can assume away, but you are incorrect.
However, his rant was not done in a vacuum.
But I will conceded that the player should apologize for his verbal retaliation after enduring almost 2 hours of nonstop harassment.

I'll point you back to here and ask you again too explain how, morally, you find pushing somebody, clearly less capable than you, acceptable.

I would ask you to frame it in the light that everything was removed from them very early on. After that it was merely gloating and "tear extraction."

At what point in the recording does the victim sing?

Just posting to say that there's a line here. It's terribly blurry, but it's there. Nobody is going to be able to clearly define it. But nobody really needs to. It makes sense to me that CCP own the game; they own all the ones and zeros that make up New Eden and story the history of every pilot to have ever flown there. If they wanted to strip the privilege of being a part of this from someone, I think they have the right.

Now I just have to figure out how to impart my opinion that the line has been crossed here and Erotica 1 and friends are on the wrong side of it. Maybe typing this is enough; it probably isn't.

EVE is amazing in the way it provides countless ways for players to punish other players -- when they don't necessarily deserve any punishment at all. But, when it comes to a way to punish players who are completely deserving but know how to protect themselves (alts that never leave a station or that leave a station only in a disposable ship with the expectation of being blown up) there is very little recourse. This one is not and can not be in the hands of the players.

Once you go from scamming a player of all in-game assets and move on to crushing his dignity you've gone too far. Somewhere between those two points is the line. Please make a stand somewhere CCP.

Its pretty clear what has to be done really.

sadists only understand pain, and they forfeit protections of society by abusing others.

In my high school, this sort of thing was deal with like this: guy would be found, cornered, and beaten to a pulp to tech him a lesson in manners. I did this a couple of times to bullies back in the day. It works.

If it has to devolve to high school level, If CCP wont step in and curb this **** like adults, I will not condemn whomever metes out street justice.

Simple as that.

I might be making a strawman argument, but then again, if we go back in time and look up different videos and recordings if similar incidents, they have ALWAYS had positive feedback, on both these forums and on youtube.
The ONLY difference between those videos and this one, is that its Erotica 1 doing it, and hes been doing it for a long time.
Or am I missing something?

There are plenty of videos where people have other people sing to maybe give them their stuff back, there are plenty of videos of awoxers blowing up a shiny mission ship that someone spent ages gathering isk to buy, and recording their vocal reactions from teamspeak, teasing them and trolling them to get even more "tears", all of this has always been good fun, except now, for some reason.

that's not an excuse for being racist, it just isn't. there's no excuse for that.
